14 Lon yr Afon is a well-presented and thoughtfully extended detached bungalow, occupying a peaceful cul-de-sac position within a mature and well-established residential development in the sought-after village of Newbridge-on-Wye. This impressive home has been carefully maintained and enhanced by the current owners, most notably with the addition of a stunning rear bedroom extension that significantly elevates both the scale and quality of the accommodation.
From the moment you step inside, the property conveys warmth, space and excellent presentation. The entrance hall provides access to a useful linen cupboard and leads through to the principal reception room, a bright and welcoming space featuring a bay window and an attractive woodburning stove. Glazed doors open into the conservatory, creating a wonderful flow between the main living areas. The conservatory is a particularly appealing feature, designed with floor-to-ceiling windows that enjoy uninterrupted views over the garden. French doors and bi-folding doors open directly onto the patio, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living and making the most of the desirable south-west facing aspect. An inner lobby off the reception room gives access to a staircase rising to a first-floor study, currently utilised as a sewing room, which in turn leads to a substantial roof space storage area. This versatile upper level provides excellent flexibility for home working, hobbies or further storage.
The modern L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room has been thoughtfully designed to provide ample space for preparation, cooking and informal dining. It incorporates a ‘Lazy Susan’ corner unit, pull-out larder cupboard, integral dishwasher, breakfast bar, worktop lighting and space and plumbing for a washing machine. French doors link back to the conservatory, enhancing the sociable layout and natural light throughout the ground floor.
The bedroom accommodation is generous and well arranged. The principal bedroom forms part of the impressive rear extension and is undoubtedly a highlight of the home. This stunning space benefits from French doors opening directly onto the garden and rooflights that flood the room with natural light, creating a calm and airy retreat. The room also features dedicated air conditioning for added comfort, and the adjoining en-suite is fitted as a contemporary wet room. The guest bedroom also includes air conditioning, fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room, while the third bedroom is positioned to the side of the property and benefits from French doors to the garden, and two double built-in wardrobes. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the accommodation. There is access to the roofspace which is part-boarded.
Externally, the property occupies a generous and beautifully landscaped plot. The south-west facing gardens are a true feature, designed to create a series of attractive seating areas that capture the afternoon and evening sun while enjoying a delightful backdrop of open countryside. The gardens have been carefully planted with a variety of shrubs and plants, enhancing the outlook from within the house and successfully bringing the outside in. A decked walkway runs from the rear around the side of the property, beneath which are two substantial rainwater storage tanks with a combined capacity of approximately 1,600 litres, primarily serving the feature garden pond and for watering the garden. The grounds also include paved and decked terraces, a gazebo seating area, vegetable garden, greenhouse, log store, garden shed with battery-powered lighting, outside tap and external lighting. A bridle footpath provides a pleasant walking route directly into the village. To the front, there is parking for up to three vehicles alongside a lawned garden with mature planting. Gated side access leads to a private parking area, ideal for a caravan or additional vehicles, and a further shed with light and power, together with an electric point. The property benefits from double glazing throughout and is heated via an energy-efficient air source heat pump system.
This exceptional bungalow combines generous, flexible accommodation with a superb rear extension and beautifully landscaped south-west facing gardens in an enviable village setting. It represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home that has been both thoughtfully improved and meticulously maintained, and in-person viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that it offers.
Newbridge-on-Wye is a charming and historic village in the heart of Mid Wales, just seven miles south of Rhayader. Perfectly positioned for convenience and countryside living, the village lies along the A470 - the main route connecting Rhayader to the north with Builth Wells to the south - and the B4358 provides links west to Beulah and east to Llandrindod Wells, making it an ideal base for commuters across Mid and South Wales. Rich in heritage, Newbridge-on-Wye was historically a key stopping point for drovers moving livestock, offering a safe crossing over the River Wye and fostering a thriving settlement with many inns and public houses. This history is commemorated today by the drovers’ statue on the village green. Although the village’s railway station on the Mid-Wales Railway closed in 1962, the old railway bridge and residential development on the station site preserve its legacy. Today, the village maintains a friendly and well-connected community with a Post Office, two public houses, a primary school, and plenty of scenic walks, offering an ideal blend of history, charm, and accessibility amidst the stunning Welsh countryside.
