Location

Neuadd Fawr is located in the peaceful village of Llanwrda with village shop about four miles south west from the market own of Llandovery (with state and private schools) and about 8.5 miles north east from the ever popular town of Llandeilo. Llanwrda benefits from a railway service providing connections to Mid and South Wales and beyond. The A40 & A483 provide excellent road connections to the surrounding towns with easy access to the M4 to the south at junction 49 (only about 21 miles) that takes you onto Swansea (about 33 miles), Cardiff (about 73 miles), the Severn Bridge and beyond. The Bannau Brycheiniog (former Brecon Beacons National Park) are also on your doorstep for those that enjoy outdoor pursuits in a beautiful landscape.

Description

Neuadd Fawr is a stunning Grade II* Listed 17th century Gentry House substantially built in c.1650 that was sympathetically restored and refurbished between 2002 – 2007. The listing describes it "as an important surviving gentry house of the later 17th century apparently with original staircase and interior features."

The house enjoys a wealth of character features including flagstone and oak floors, exposed beams, leaded windows, window shutters, original fireplaces and lime washed walls together with a blend of modern touches including underfloor heating on the ground floor.

Accommodation Ground Floor
A welcoming vestibule with charming original seats leads through an impressive oak door with metal studs to the reception hall with an attractive flagstone floor. On the left is the large drawing room with flagstone floor, beamed ceiling and an impressive inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove and bread oven providing a warm focal point. On the right of the hall is the kitchen dining room again with flagstone floor, beamed ceiling, ornate fitted units, Belfast sink, cooker with extractor hood and a smart black Aga taking centre stage. At the rear of the house is a cosy snug/ study with a wood burning stove. A cloakroom off the hall completes the ground floor.

First Floor
A beautiful wide staircase rises up from the rear hall to the first floor accommodation that includes four bedrooms (two with en suite bathrooms) with oak floors. The remaining two bedrooms share the use of a family bathroom.

Second Floor
The stairs continue to the second floor that includes two storage rooms and a vast open family room with oak floor, vaulted ceiling, imposing roof timbers and exposed gable end stone walls.

Externally
The property sits in generous landscaped grounds of about an acre (stms – subject to measured survey) including a gated entrance leading down to a smart gravel forecourt with ample parking and turning areas. A pretty walled garden lies to the front of the house while large lawned areas surround it with mature trees and bushes. Flowing along the west boundary is the River Dulais, a tributary of the River Towy, a spawning river for Salmon, and Sewin (sea trout). The property enjoys single bank fishing rights upon the river within its boundaries. There is a weir just below the house with a fish ladder to enable the salmon to migrate up the river. There is also a useful stable block/workshop lying to the side of the forecourt.
