Historic detached cottage located on the banks of the River Wye, enjoying four bedrooms, four reception rooms, outbuildings, a wealth of character & 2 acre gardens (TBV)
Snuggled in a protective elbow of the River Wye, This home is a detached former drover's cottage with roots dating back before 1750. Once a cider house and service stop on the trail from West Wales to the Midlands and London, the property has long shared its story with the river beside it. Then, as now, the sound of water, the song of dippers, and the flash of a kingfisher create an environment closely tied to nature.
The property offers a flexible four-bedroom layout and sits within approximately two acres of land, which includes formal gardens, paddocks, and direct access to the riverside.
Inside, the front door opens into an entrance porch, leading into a dining area at the centre of the home. This space enjoys exposed beams, stone walls, Gladstone flooring and feature double-sided fireplace. A doorway leads to the kitchen, updated in 2019, featuring a Rayburn for cooking. From the first reception room there is also a utility/larder area with sink and further opens into the main reception room, which shares a central fireplace with a log burner, further exposed beams & stone walls. From here, another reception room offers use as a study or playroom. To the rear, a sun room which includes an electric fire for the cooler evenings and benefits from garden views.
There are two staircases leading to the first floor. The south wing provides two double bedrooms and a shower room. The north wing includes a main bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a further double bedroom/dressing room, a bathroom, and a store cupboard on the landing.
Outside, the property enjoys views over the river and to the rolling Powys countryside, whilst being within a 0.25 mile radius of the amenities of the village centre of Newbridge-on-Wye. The formal garden includes a lawn and mature planting, opening into an orchard underplanted with seasonal bulbs. A paddock backs onto the River Wye and has gated access to the riverside. An adjoining paddock features a large pond and leads into a small woodland area. The land boundary is fully fenced and offers security and peace of mind for dog owners.
Outbuildings include a double barn with power, two garden sheds, and a container used for hay storage. Behind the barn is a further lawned area with chicken coops and heated kennel, leading to a well-established vegetable garden with greenhouse and raised beds. A timber-framed lean-to provides extra storage, and a log store. A large gravelled drive offers parking for multiple vehicles and has a generous turning area.
Location:
The property is situated in Newbridge-on-Wye, a small village in Powys, surrounded by the Wye Valley's rolling countryside. The village offers a primary school, community centre, pubs, local shop, garage and petrol station, and is just 3 miles from the larger town of Llandrindod Wells. Here you'll find a full range of supermarkets, secondary schooling, medical facilities, a leisure centre, golf course and rail links. The surrounding area is known for walking, fishing, riding, and canoeing, with the River Wye and nearby Elan Valley providing a wide variety of outdoor opportunities. Road links offer access toward Builth Wells, Rhayader and further into the Brecon Beacons.

Stamp duty calculator provided by The Property Hive is intended to provide an estimate of the stamp duty land tax payable on a residential property purchase in England or Northern Ireland. However, the calculator is provided for general information purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional legal or tax advice. The actual amount of stamp duty payable may differ from the estimate provided by the calculator, depending on various factors such as the purchase price, the property type, and the buyer's circumstances.

Regulations require that we undertake identity and AML checks, and secure information on the circumstances of your purchase in line with our obligations to verify your identity and complete Customer Due diligence as part of you agreeing any offer with our client. These are dictated by regulation and enforced by trading standards. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks are carried out correctly and for ongoing monitoring, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or made an offer on a property you wish to buy that is provisionally agreeable to our client.
We have looked to provide benefits alongside undertaking these checks to ensure this is not an additional cost to you. These include complementary Lifetime Legal membership for 3 months, and where you use Chancellors Conveyancing services we have also arranged for this cost to include the AML/ Customer due diligence cost your solicitor would normally charge you for their regulated required checks. The cost of these checks is £80 plus VAT (£96 inc VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee is paid in advance, directly to Lifetime Legal and is non-refundable.
