An enchanting property comprising two separate houses, set in just over an acre of grounds, in the heart of the Brechfa Forest (that spans about 16,000 acres) with no near neighbours, offering complete privacy and seclusion.

Originally a farmstead, Cwmere comprises an original cottage and separate barn conversion, which the current owners have meticulously renovated. The stunning interiors have many unique features created from wood gathered from the immediate surroundings, including staircases, window-sills, countertops and even toilet roll holders. The current owners live in one and use the second for guests. The barn could be used as a separate studio etc. They have a number of dogs who enjoy the many miles of walks in the surrounding area.

On entering the front door, to the left is what's currently utilised as a dog grooming room, set up with two large dog kennels and a grooming bath. This could easily be made into a ground floor bedroom or another reception room. There is a ground floor cloakroom that has a WC and a beautiful sink handmade from a copper jam pan.

In the stunning kitchen, the surfaces are beautifully carved oak with a good range of fitted cupboards, Belfast sink, plumbing for a washing machine, space for a dryer, a free-standing oven with an extractor fan over, and a breakfast bar made from local forest oak, which sits on an old cart wheel.

The large sitting room has a vaulted ceiling, French windows and underfloor heating. There is a log burner which fills the home with heat and access through to the attached workshop and garage.

The bathroom has a shower, WC and storage cupboard, and a beautifully carved stone sink, set on tiles. The furthest bedroom has oak beams and curved lights in the wall, with a large window overlooking the forest. The second bedroom, (the grandchildren's favourite) has a circular window that overlooks the sitting room.

There is ample parking for numerous vehicles. The grounds include areas of woodland and extensive lawns. There is a large insulated summerhouse which is of timber construction with power and lighting, which could make a fantastic home office or studio.

Both areas are insulated with power and light supplies.

There are six gates from the property, all with direct access out to the forest and the many miles of dog-walking, mountain biking, or horse riding. An attractive stream runs through part of the land at the bottom of a steep bank. In all, the property extends to just over one acre (stms – subject to measured survey).
