An extremely rare opportunity to purchase an expansive end-terraced home, enjoying off-road parking, private gardens, and an additional, detached riverside garden, all situated in a convenient position just off the centre of 'Britain's smallest town'!
This is a rare opportunity to purchase two homes in one, that have previously been connected by a doorway from the main reception rooms of each house. In total, this would encompass a five bedroom home, boasting three receptions, front and rear courtyard gardens, a detached secret garden leading down to the river, AND off-road parking!
1 IRFON CRESCENT
Approached from the A483, the entrance door leads in to the reception room of the cottage, enjoying exposed stonework, a staircase to the first floor landing, and door to the kitchen. This is a wonderful space to relax, with enough room for a dining table if required. There is a feature fireplace currently housing a gas stove, and window to the front allowing in plenty of natural light. The original door into 2 Irfon Crescent would have been under the stairs, but is currently boarded up. The kitchen/breakfast room enjoys ample space for food preparation and cooking, there is also an external door to the rear garden.
The first floor landing leads on to two bedrooms, one a double room, and the other a comfortable single. Both enjoy fine views over the River Irfon and to the countryside beyond. The single bedroom is currently being utilised as an office/home study. The landing also has the benefit of a ladder style staircase leading to a converted attic room, with limited headroom. This space could be used as an occasional bedroom, if additional accommodation was required.
2 IRFON CRESCENT
Approached from the A483, the entrance door leads in to a small hallway. From here, a door leads in to the reception room where the original access into 1 Irfon Crescent is (currently boarded up), and further to a rear lobby, with opening into the kitchen/breakfast room. With ample space for food preparation, cooking and dining, there is also an external door to the rear garden. Just off the rear lobby, there is a modern shower room, enjoying a suite of walk-in shower, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin. From the entrance hall, a door opens up into a second reception room, which could easily be utilised as a home study, and is currently used as a downstairs bedroom.
The first floor of this family home boasts three bedrooms, two of which are doubles, as well as a comfortable single. The family bathroom is also accessed from the first floor landing, as well as a ladder style staircase leading to an unconverted loft space, with limited headroom. The views in particular from the first floor are outstanding, across the River Irfon to the rolling Mid-Wales countryside beyond.
OUTSIDE
At the front of the properties is a small courtyard area, surrounded by a dwarf wall which leads to the front doors, enjoying enough space for a couple of chairs and a small table to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. To the rear, is an area of hardstanding, accessed from the two kitchens, which could be made into a lovely private sun trap. There is a stone built outbuilding, a useful workshop at the bottom of the rear garden. Accessed from a lane adjacent to the terrace of properties, and steps from the garden, is a timber constructed outbuilding, which would fit a motorcycle or similar in, if required. There is also parking for one vehicle, at the end of the terrace of houses, right next door to 1 Irfon Crescent. On the opposite side of the road a pedestrian gate gives access down a set of steps to a gently sloping lawned garden running down to the River Irfon which is lined with mature trees and shrubbery. This is a fantastic space to sit and relax, perhaps with an evening glass of wine, overlooking the river to the beautiful scenery beyond.

The properties are positioned just off the centre of Llanwrtyd Wells, one of the smallest towns in Mid-Wales, sitting astride the River Irfon. With a population of approximately 1,551, it famously claims to be the smallest town in Britain. The town is located on the A483 between Llandovery and Builth Wells near the Tywi and Irfon valleys. Llanwrtyd Wells grew as a spa town around the Ffynnon Ddrewllyd, which still exists, following the discovery of waters with healing properties in 1732. The town is the site of both the World Bog Snorkelling Championships and the annual Man versus Horse Marathon, as well as other annual events. The market town of Builth Wells, located at the heart of Powys, is just 13 miles away in what is arguably some of the most beautiful countryside in the United Kingdom. Builth Wells lies within the Historic Boundaries of Brecknockshire, situated on the banks of the River Wye and the River Irfon – the upper section of the Wye Valley. Builth Wells is famously known for hosting the annual Royal Welsh Show, which is the biggest agricultural show in Europe and attracts over 240,000 visitors to the town each year.
