With glazing to three aspects, the views of the surrounding hills from the lounge are stunning. The property's varying ceiling heights, some flat and some pitched, give the space's modern interior a striking and stylish feel. Heading up the stairs to the first floor of the modern extension of Penffrwd-Fach, a bedroom features both a double and single wooden framed bed. The beds sit alongside a wardrobe, two side chairs and a bedside cabinet. With bright white painted walls and a thick grey carpet, the spacious room features angled windows designed into pitch of the ceiling. Next to the bedroom, a cloakroom features a WC and basin.
