Entering the barn, you are welcomed into a practical and charming boot room and utility area, ideal for country living. The heart of the home is the beautifully appointed farmhouse-style kitchen, featuring solid wood worktops, a Rangemaster gas cooker with extractor hood, an abundance of cabinetry, and pull-out pantry storage. A further utility/storage area and guest WC add to the practicality of the space.

Also situated on the ground floor is the principal bedroom suite, complete with built-in wardrobes and a high-quality en-suite shower room with underfloor heating, creating a private and spacious retreat.

The main living area is a standout feature of the home, showcasing exposed beams, a vaulted ceiling, and an impressive oak-crafted staircase. A large log-burning stove forms the focal point of this generous entertaining space, which blends warmth and character. Leading from the lounge is a bright sunroom with power-operated blinds. Overlooking the patio and extensive lawn, it offers tranquil views across the grounds.

To the first floor, the galleried landing enjoys views over the living space below and leads to three further spacious bedrooms, all benefiting from built-in storage. The upper floor includes a shower room and separate WC. A particularly versatile additional room provides excellent flexibility as a fourth bedroom, home office, studio, or recreation room, with its own independent external access.

Externally, there are a few outbuildings which service Llys Cadno. Just beyond the main gate, there is a large garage/workshop which could be used for hobbies or storing multiple vehicles. It also houses the inverter and 22kW batteries for the solar panels. On the other side of the house, there is a smaller brick outbuilding which can be used as an artist studio, hobby room or for tool storage.

The rear courtyard with stone patio is a sun trap and the awning provides shade on the warmer of days. Across from the patio, there is a slightly raised area with a covered pergola, perfect for drinks and al-fresco dining. The gardens beyond are beautifully maintained and mature shrubs and trees frame the main lawn. There is another patio area and a summerhouse overlooking the lawn, and self-sustainability can be achieved with the green house, poly tunnel and a vegetable bed/ fruit cage area. Beyond the lawn a path leads to a gate to the rear where you enter into a natural oasis with the river embankment and the gentle and shallow River Lash. The grounds of Llys Cadno continue across the river onto the other embankment and beyond into a small woodland, offering the ultimate feeling of seclusion and privacy.

Blending traditional charm with practical modern living, Llys Cadno presents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive countryside home in a picturesque rural setting.
