This former parsonage is set high in the Radnorshire Hills, with stunning views of the Black Mountains and the surrounding moors and farmland – an ideal base for family gatherings or special occasions.

Bryngwyn is a small traditional hamlet, set high in the Radnorshire Hills. It’s just 2 miles from Painscastle, a delightful village with a friendly pub serving food, perfect to return to after exploring the rugged landscape of the surrounding countryside. This area of the Welsh Marshes offers excellent opportunities for walking, horse-riding, cycling, golf, and water sports – either on the doorstep or within easy reach. It’s also an ideal base for exploring the lakes and mountains of Mid Wales and the Brecon Beacons National Park. The Royal Welsh Showground at Builth Wells, and the book town of Hay-on-Wye, as well as being famous for the Agricultural Show and the Festival of Literature, also host many other notable events throughout the year.

Enjoy the views from the grounds before you step into the entrance porch, which leads to the reception hall with access to the many social areas. After a day of exploring, relax in the cosy sitting room, with leather sofas and wing-backed chairs, with lovely garden views. If you choose, you can enjoy a film on the TV (Netflix is also available). For entertaining, there is a spacious lounge with a wood burner, second TV, selection of board games and French doors opening to the gardens. A large formal dining room accommodates 12 guests and is the perfect setting for any celebration. For the chef amongst you, a well-equipped kitchen awaits, with a range cooker with electric oven, 5 ring gas hob, additional electric double oven, microwave, large fridge, and dishwasher. Adjacent is a rear hallway with a second dishwasher, freezer, washer dryer and plenty of space to hang outdoor clothes and remove shoes and boots while seated on the settle, alongside a recycling area and a rear entrance door. A sunroom adjoins with seating to enjoy a good book or relax and gaze across the gardens. On the ground floor, off the entrance hall, there is a separate cloakroom with WC as well as a king-size bedroom with an en-suite walk-in shower and toilet. The toilet in here is slightly higher than normal and the shower is an easy access walk-in in shower, suitable for the less mobile. The first floor offers five generously sized bedrooms with far-reaching countryside views from every window. These rooms comprise a super-king with an en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC, a king-size four-poster with an en-suite shower and WC, a double with an en-suite shower and WC, and two twin rooms with basins, served by a separate bathroom and separate toilet. Children will love the rocking horse that lives on the first floor landing.

This impressive house is surrounded by mature gardens, a patio with picnic tables, a charcoal BBQ and an undercover area with further seating. A variety of outdoor games are available. There is off-road parking for six cars. Stabling/grazing for horses is available by prior arrangement with the owner.
