The original parts of the house are understood to date back to around 1880 and it is believed to have been used for storing TNT for the local coal mines. It was significantly upgraded in around 2014 to create the wonderful family home that it is today. Enjoying an idyllic rural setting, the property is perfectly suited to those seeking peace, privacy and a close connection with the surrounding countryside. Situated along a quiet country lane, it provides direct access onto Betws Mountain which is criss-crossed by a network of tracks, bridleways and quiet lanes offering superb opportunities for walking, cycling and enjoying the area's far-reaching views across the Amman Valley and surrounding Carmarthenshire landscape.
