A luxury farmhouse kitchen, two bedrooms and two en-suite bathrooms are complemented by bespoke oak detailing, Indian limestone flooring, extensive glazing and a wealth of individual architectural touches, creating a home that feels both characterful and beautifully considered, while perfectly framing the ever-changing countryside beyond.

The main house sits within beautifully established gardens, with a generous flagstone terrace providing the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the idyllic surroundings.

Set within almost eight acres, the property is approached via gated access and a sweeping gravelled drive, with the garage and log cabin positioned either side as the approach curves towards the house. Tucked away in a peaceful rural setting near Pontardawe, it feels wonderfully removed from the everyday, yet remains remarkably well connected, with the nearby M4 providing easy access to Swansea, Cardiff and beyond.

Finished to a high standard, the office, 'Oaktree Loft' has been transformed into a light, contemporary and highly versatile space, with a composite front door, dual Velux windows, recessed spotlights and plenty of room for multiple desks, seating and additional furniture. Designed as a dedicated office suite, it provides an excellent environment for working from home while its generous proportions and separate position make it equally suited to a hobby room, creative studio, teenager's den, games or media room, gym or peaceful retreat.

Surrounded by landscaped gardens, open fields and far-reaching countryside, the setting offers an exceptional sense of space, privacy and freedom. A flagstone terrace provides the perfect setting for summer lunches, morning coffee or long evenings outdoors, while the wider grounds offer plenty of room for children to explore, dogs to roam and the whole family to enjoy the pleasures of country living. The additional fields open up a wealth of possibilities, whether for horses, animals, recreation or simply creating your own private rural escape - a rare opportunity to have genuine space and freedom on your doorstep.
