Detached house for sale in Hundred House, Llandrindod Wells LD1

Tyncoed is a delightful, Grade II Listed home located in the hills outside of Hundred House, offering peace and quiet, and plenty of space around. The property itself has been well-maintained, but could use some modernisation in places, and there is a wealth of potential, with the outbuildings ripe for conversion to additional accommodation if required by the new owners (STPP). Listed for its special architectural interest as a well-preserved regional vernacular farmstead, it is a converted hearth passage house of the late 17th or early 18th Century, believed to date back to medieval times originally as a Welsh longhouse. The present cow house was added later, and is shown on the 1837 Tithe map. In the second half of the 19th Century the front of the cow house was rebuilt and part of it was converted to a stable. A back kitchen was also added and is shown on the 1889 Ordnance Survey.

Accessed via a minor road and farm track on the eastern side of the A481, past an agricultural building, the internal accommodation comprises;

Approached from the rear, an enclosed porch/utility room, measuring 2.95 x 2.00m, opens up into 5.99 x 3.53m kitchen/dining room.

Accessed from the reception room is also a entrance hall and also the second reception room, or library, which has two doors giving access from the reception room, separated by a Plank & Muntin partition screen, and measuring 5.06 x 3.49m. Originally, this library would have been two service rooms, one for wet goods, and the other for dry.

The first floor accommodation features a landing area with airing cupboard and door accessing an elevated ledge overlooking the kitchen, supported by joist ends that once spanned the entire room, which would have been used to store seed corn for the following year, as well as two bedrooms, and a family bathroom. On the second floor, accessed via a ladder style staircase, is a landing/dressing room for the largest bedroom, which measures 4.72 x 4.26m, has some restricted head height, and features more character including the visible collar-beam trusses, and a medieval timber as the window lintel.
