Agent's Remarks

The vendors named the property ‘Steam House’ given that the old trains travelling between Llanidloes and Rhayader used to billow their steam over the plot where Steam House now proudly stands. The railway no longer functions but the attractive scenery it was renowned for continues for all to enjoy. Steam House is one of four individual eco-friendly houses recently built by a small developer, each having a distinct style as well as having excellent thermal efficiency ratings. The property has tongue and groove pine flooring throughout.
