Windrush House and Coach House with a rich history dating back to 1872, has
been meticulously restored and modernized, maintaining its original Victorian
charm and features. The grand pitch pine double - width staircase, elegant
doors, servant bells, Victorian dresser, and slate and tile floors contribute
to the house's authentic appeal. The four double bedrooms, two single
bedrooms, and various reception rooms, including three spacious living areas,
ensure ample living space for a luxurious lifestyle.
The well - equipped kitchen, complete with a range cooker, breakfast room, and
two bathrooms (one ensuite), adding to the comfort of Windrush House. Heating
is provided by oil - fired central heating, two wood burners, and a Rayburn
stove, ensuring warmth and cosiness year - round.
In contrast, the Coach House offers contemporary living in harmony with
nature. Divided into two separate cottages, 'Woodland' and 'Garden, ' each
features the potential for two ensuite double bedrooms, a kitchen, and a
spacious living room or studio area. Glass and wood elements connect the
cottages with the rural environment, allowing abundant natural light. The
courtyards and well - manicured gardens provide delightful outdoor spaces for
relaxation.
Situated on the outskirts of Llanrhystud, Windrush House and the Coach House
enjoy views of the village and surrounding countryside. Despite its secluded
location, the property offers convenient access to village amenities and
schools, with regular bus services connecting to nearby towns.
The meticulously landscaped hillside gardens offer multiple areas for
relaxation and dining. Facing southeast, the garden receives ample sunlight
and features lawns, herb - filled borders, fruit trees, shrubs, a pond/bog
garden, and specimen trees. Twelve distinct sitting areas, including a decked
pergola and an upper tiled patio, provide varied spaces for enjoyment. The
natural woodland on the property serves as a haven for wildlife.
Various outbuildings enhance the property's functionality, including a
summerhouse with a garden shed/workshop, equipped with power points, hot and
cold - water facilities, and a toilet. Additional storage is provided by a large
wood lap shed, three timber and slate sheds attached to the main house,
discreetly housing the gas supply and waste bins, and storing garden tools and
equipment. The estate is a well - rounded and harmonious blend of Victorian
elegance, modern living, and natural beauty.
