The property
Pantpurlais is thought to date from the early 19th Century but was rebuilt after a fire in the first decade of the 20th Century, during the peak of Llandrindod Wells fame.
The house was restored by previous owners between 2015 - 2019, but it is the current encumbants who's mission has been to create a biodiverse small holding of meadows, orchard, pasture and woodland through an enviromentally sustainable approach. The idea being to create a destination property and a true lifestyle offering.
The substantial house is set over 3 floors, with a good flow to the accomodation, lots of natural light and good connection to grounds and countryside beyond.

Victorian tea rooms
In circa 1911 the Victorian Tearooms will have been added, set amongst gardens, this and the grounds of Pantpurlais became a popular place to visit by walking from the Spa in the town. The tearooms have been restored by the current owners. They are connected to water and electrics, with a WC and WiFi connection.

Pantpurlais Lodge
The luxurious lodge has been created by the current owners, set in a wonderful position affording some incredible views. The self contained pod is deceptively spacious, offering 2 bedrooms, shower room, kitchen and a seating area with circular window, looking out over meadows and the rolling hills beyond.

Outside
Nestled in a hollow, at the head of a small valley, the house sits in the centre of just under 24 acres, with pasture, wild flower meadow, orchard, and woodland. The position is superb, and affords some breathtaking views. The biodiverse habitat - thanks to the nurturing approach and focus on restoration of the land - has meant wildlife has been returning in abundance. Over 140 heritage fruit trees, and hundreds of native broadleaf and specimen trees have been planted and creation of wild flower meadows make for a wonderfully calming retreat.

Outbuildings
There are two storage barns, one stable block and one horse barn. All were rebuilt in 2020 from the ground up, in the original design.

Location
Situated on the eastern edge of the spa town of Llandrindod Wells, Pantpurlais is set in the surrounding hills, and occupies the head of a gorgeous valley. Llandod, as it is often referred to, is the seat of Powys County Council, and thus the administrative centre of the historic county of Radnorshire, now Powys. The market town boomed through Victorian and Edwardian eras, with architecture of the buildings echoeing this.
There are a good range of independent shops, cafes, pubs and resturarants, mixed with national retailers.
At the heart of the town is Rock Park, a Grade ll Listed green space, built by the Victorians, with arboretum, woodland walkways, river trails and Victorian spa buildings. There is also a 13 acre lake in the centre of the town, again, built by the Victorians, offering a destination for various activities.
The town is easily accessible, either on foot or by car from Pantpurlais.
The wider area forms part of the historic Welsh Marches and benefits from good links into mid-Wales, east into England and north and south via the A483.

The train station is on the Heart Of Wales line, connecting Swansea and Shrewsbury, with connections to Cardiff, Bristol, Birmingham and London. The M4 Motorway.
