situation• Felin Newydd is situated between Hay-on-Wye and Brecon in

stunning countryside formed by the Brecon Beacons and the

Black Mountains.

• Hay-on-Wye, home to the renowned literary festival, beautiful

border town, abundant in boutiques, local producers, deli and

cafes is within striking distance just to the north-east.

• Brecon is famous for its Georgian buildings and is just a short

drive away with shops, covered markets, cinema, theatre and

a Norman Cathedral. Of particular importance is the Christ

College School for 6 to 18 year olds.

• The famous Felin Fach Griffin Inn is located within 2 miles of the

house by main OR minor road.

• Communications are good. The A40 provides fast access

to the M4 and M50 for Bristol and London, the A470 does

likewise to Cardiff.

• The area is famed for its beauty and recreational

opportunities. These include salmon, trout and course fishing

on the nearby Rivers Usk and Wye. Mid Wales is now home to

some of the finest pheasant and partridge shooting in Great

Britain. There are also glorious walks and rides through the

surrounding countryside.

felin newydd House• Felin Newydd dates back to the 17th century, though greatly

extended in the early Victorian era. At the turn of the last

century the house and surrounding estate was acquired

by the Evans-Bevan Family who still retain ownership.

In more recent times Felin Newydd has been run as a

luxurious country house for private, exclusive use (see www.

countrypad.co.uk). Thus by necessity the house has had to

be refurbished and presented at an exceptional standard.

Recent refurbishment works have included re-roofing, re-

wiring, new bathrooms, new kitchen and re-decoration. The

gardens have also undergone extensive planting and design

work since 2003. The selection of mature specimen trees

within the gardens are particularly notable.

• Approached by a gravel drive to a wide parking sweep, the

house is entered through an elegant reception hall, lighted

by a stunning cupola with an oak staircase winding to the

first floor. Panelled doors lead off to the well-proportioned

reception rooms with further fine period features such as

polished sprung flooring, decorative plasterwork and coving,

open fireplaces, concealed radiators and tall shuttered

sash windows with lovely views out over the grounds. The

drawing room in particular has a lovely bay window with a

full height sashed walk-through to the side garden, whilst the

dining room has large double doors opening through to the

kitchen. This is both functional and elegant and includes a

four oven oil-fired AGA combined with 6 burner gas hob and

large electric oven. Towards the rear is the Billiard Room and

domestic utilities including a laundry and scullery.

• The elegant staircase leads up and round to a wide galleried

landing beneath a cupola, which lights the whole vicinity.

There are nine bedrooms, the four front facing rooms having

particularly fine views, five bathrooms (3 en-suite) and two

showers (one en-suite). There is a rear staircase and a

secondary staircase leading up to the attics.

The coach House and stable Block

• This period stone building with cobbled yard lies to the west

of the house and includes the original stalls, coach house and

the loft/grooms cottage above which has been converted into

an office with substantial storage.

• A more modern wooden stable block is adjacent with

three loose boxes, a feed room and a small paddock.

The walled kitchen garden is beyond with greenhouses and

potting sheds.

Gardens

• Felin Newydd is known for its magnificent gardens.

Beyond the Wisteria clad south facade and gravelled sweep

are formal lawns with a central, circular pond flanked by

magnificent trees such as Copper Beach, Weeping Willow

and Holly and run to the wide stream and park railings.

An arboretum with spring bulbs surrounds the stream and

has a wide variety of mature trees and shrubs including

splendid Rhododendrons.

• A side garden with a lawn, topiaried yew hedge, stone walls

and herbaceous beds make the most of the morning sun,

with a further area of mature trees and bulbs on a raised area

behind the house. The kitchen garden with greenhouses and

potting sheds are beyond the stables.

The Land• Beyond the stream and park railings are rolling fields which

create a perfect backdrop. The bulk of the land is here and runs

off to the west. Closer to the house and served by a bridge is an

area of hard standing used for additional parking. Further land

could possibly be made available by separate negotiation.
