About this property
1 bedroom accommodation in Erwood, near Brecon
The Old Cider Mill, once home to Owain Glyndwr, is a wonderfully historic yet luxurious barn conversion, offering much to enjoy in the local area.. Ground Floor:
Living room: Freesat, Woodburner
Kitchen/dining room: Electric Hob, Rayburn, Microwave, Fridge, Washing Machine
Separate Toilet.
First Floor:
Bedroom: Double (4ft 6in) Bed Ensuite: Roll Top Bath, Toilet. Oil central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Initial logs for wood burner included, remainder at £5 per basket. Welcome pack. . Courtyard with garden furniture. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking. Please note: Access is via a rough track.. This beautiful barn has been renovated to a good standard in 2019 and offers everything you need and more. As soon as you walk into this barn you will be wowed by its well thought out furnishings and quirky appeal.
The Old Cider Mill is nestled in the owner’s land opposite one of the oldest houses in Wales, orginally built for Henry IV as a hunting lodge. This barn itself dates back to 1402 and was built to produce cider for the hunting lodge when Owain Glyndwr, the only native Welshman to hold the title ’Prince of Wales’, was at war with Henry IV. Indeed, the property is thought to have been built specifically for him and there are many original features that have been retained.
The barn comprises of a large open plan kitchen/dining room with fitted appliances and a Rayburn oven. This then leads to a large living area with an electric fire. Upstairs is a double bedroom and a marble en-suite bathroom with a free standing bath.
There are some great views to be had from the patio area of the barn and some lovely wildlife ponds to look over. There is a wild rabbit that comes to visit and eat some of the plants by the barn. Some great walks are to be had directly from the property and lots of open space for your pets to run around, though please keep them on a lead when walking through livestock fields. Shop, pub and restaurant 2½ miles.
