Castlewood — Merthyr Cynog, Brecon

4-Bedroom Family Home | Approx. 2,600 sq ft | Set in 2.5 Acres

Castlewood is a recently completed residential renovation and extension project, set in the peaceful countryside near Merthyr Cynog, just outside Brecon. This detached property has been carefully transformed into a spacious 4-bedroom family home offering a blend of traditional charm and contemporary design.

The project involved the full refurbishment of the original structure along with a sympathetic extension, creating generous internal spaces totalling over 2,600 square feet. The interior layout includes a large entrance hall with a feature oak staircase, a modern open-plan kitchen with countryside views, and a bright, dual-aspect living room that opens directly onto the garden terrace.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, including a master with en-suite, alongside a well-appointed family bathroom. Materials and finishes were selected with longevity and quality in mind, including porcelain tiling, engineered oak flooring, and underfloor heating in key areas.

Externally, Castlewood benefits from a double garage with first-floor storage, ample driveway parking, and landscaped gardens that flow into a gently sloping paddock — ideal for hobby use or small-scale grazing. In total, the property stands in approximately 2.5 acres, framed by mature trees and hedgerows, with sweeping views across the surrounding landscape.

This development is an example of how older rural properties can be modernised to create high-spec, energy-efficient homes, while still retaining their character and connection to the landscape.
