This former Mill building stands in a generous garden plot amongst the stunning scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The conversion offers beautifully presented accommodation in the form of 5 bedrooms all of a good size, 4 bathrooms, 3 reception rooms, a kitchen and a useful utility room. The main accommodation is complimented by a second outbuilding converted into a holiday let cottage which now offers the new buyers the opportunity to continue the established letting business that has been created by the present owners.
