KEEN renovators and interior design enthusiasts could be in their element with this imposing home on the Herefordshire border.
This fine detached Victorian six-bedroomed country house with a separate two bedroomed annexe is on the market for offers in the region of £1,300,000.
Previously owned by the famous 'King of Hay,' Richard Booth, the Brynmelyn Estate is set in a highly sought after location with 20 acres of paddocks, woodland and gardens, tree lined driveway and outbuildings, in Cusop Dingle, a short distance from Hay-on-Wye.
With a wealth of character features including fireplaces, wood floors, and a beautiful, sweeping staircase, the home is certainly one for the history lovers.
The historic home comes complete with an entrance hall, library, dining room, sitting room, and study.
The kitchen features a large fireplace recess with solid fuel Stanley Range cooker, fitted pantry cupboard, fitted dresser, a black and red tiled floor, and meat hooks.
Upstairs, the six bedrooms, some en-suite, lead off the galleried landing.
And below ground, the home has large cellars including a wine store with original brick and stone numbered wine shelves and a flag stone floor, and a safe room with fitted shelving and original metal safe door.
The annexe has a kitchen, dining room, lounge, and three bedrooms, while the top of the tower is glazed all around, offering stunning views of the surrounding area.
Outside, there is a garage, stables, and a workshop, while gardens wrap around the sides of the property and open into a large lawn with tree lined borders. To the rear of the property is a patio area with doors from the main reception room and dining room. The extent of the land to be included with the property is around 20 acres (some of this is subject to tenancy).
