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.
