The location immediately appealed to us, but it was the peaceful setting within this secluded hamlet that truly won us over. Over the years, Orchard House has become much more than a house.

The dining room and sitting room have hosted everything from christenings and wedding celebrations to our joint 60th birthday party, as well as many gatherings for friends and neighbours. We have continued to invest in the property, adding stables, extending the sun-filled front patio, upgrading the double glazing throughout and creating new en suite bathrooms.

The sun moves around the property throughout the day, creating different places to enjoy from morning until evening. Surrounding the paddocks and along the brook are another hundred trees. Despite its rural feel, Orchard House offers excellent connectivity, with Cardiff and Bristol both within easy reach and the Brecon Beacons less than half an hour away.
