Newly available, Henllys Lodge is a 4-bedroomed (sleeping 8) detached house in a rural location with views of the Welsh hills of the Upper Twyi Valley on the western edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

The large kitchen/dining room has all modern energy efficient appliances, such as Rangemaster cooker with two ovens and grill, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine and condenser drier, and all the cooking equipment and utensils you will need. There is a downstairs WC. The living room has in its centre a double-sided wood-burning stove which is cosy and comfortable in the colder months.

The kitchen opens out onto a slate patio area with garden furniture and Weber barbecue. There are flower beds planted with native plants flowering at different times of the year and a lawn leading down to a pond, teeming with wildlife including fish, frogs, newts, water lilies, etc. Fill up the bird feeder to watch all sorts of birds, including nuthatches and woodpeckers.
