Dol-Y-Gaer is a historically important Jacobean house dating back to the 17th century. The property provides well-proportioned accommodation with a very great deal of character: inglenook fireplaces feature in the reception rooms while sash windows, beams and panelled wood doors also add to the charm. The large kitchen has a traditional farmhouse feel and has an oil-fired Aga.
The first floor has five good-sized bedrooms, all with far-reaching views and the second floor has been partly renovated to provide extra accommodation.
Accommodation in total comprises: entrance hall, drawing room, dining room, family room, kitchen, larder, cloakroom and six bedrooms plus two bathrooms.

Outside the land comes to around five acres and the gardens consist of lawns interspersed with mature trees, shrubs and flower beds. A small stream borders one side of the garden and a kissing gate leads out to the pond and paddock area to the front of the house.
Dol-Y-Gaer sits just outside the small Welsh town of Langammarch Wells in Powys. The town lies on the River Irfon and is the smallest of the spa towns of mid-Wales. The surrounding area has some of the loveliest countryside in Wales and offers a range of country pursuits.
The guide price is £525,000. For further information please contact Knight Frank on 01432 273 087 or visit www.knightfrank.co.uk.
