2 bed detached house for sale

Market Street, Builth Wells LD2

A well-presented and deceptively spacious detached stone cottage, centrally positioned within the heart of Builth Wells and offered to the market with no onward chain.

Arranged over three floors, this charming period home blends character features with a tasteful modern presentation and is ready for immediate occupation. Despite its central location, the property enjoys a notable degree of privacy, set back on a gated driveway (gates currently removed) with a courtyard providing off-road parking and outdoor seating, together with an additional enclosed paved area to the side. All town amenities are within a short and level walk.

Internally, the accommodation is thoughtfully arranged and larger than expected, extending to approximately 104 m². The ground floor offers a welcoming entrance porch with exposed timbers, leading to two well-proportioned reception rooms. The principal living room features a stone fireplace and access to the lower ground floor, while the adjoining dining room showcases exposed stonework and original detailing, creating an ideal space for entertaining. The kitchen is well appointed with ample storage and preparation space, complemented by a modern family bathroom.

To the first floor are two generous double bedrooms, both retaining period fireplaces, with the rear bedroom enjoying distant views across the surrounding countryside.

A particular feature of the property is the lower ground floor, currently providing a substantial cellar and washroom. This versatile space offers excellent potential for use as a home office, hobby room, studio or additional storage, subject to individual requirements.

Externally, the courtyard provides off-road parking for approximately two vehicles – a rare and valuable asset for a town-centre property – while the enclosed paved areas offer low-maintenance outdoor space perfect for al fresco dining or entertaining. A particularly characterful feature is the original bread oven set into the external wall of the porch, adding period charm and historic interest. Completing the exterior is a 4.00m x 2.77m timber-built outbuilding, fitted with light and power, offering versatile storage with potential for a studio, workshop, or home office.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the character, space and convenience this attractive stone cottage has to offer.
