Goylands Close is a mixed development of 56 bungalows and houses that was started in the mid 1980’s and has matured nicely. Number 7 has a Westerly aspect and is built on a very gently sloping plot that falls away to the East to border farmland, giving fine views from the rear windows and privacy. A quirk of this property is that there is a concealed electric sub-station to the front, set within what appears to be a double Garage. The village centre is a 300 yard walk, which includes a Thai restaurant, community centre, Church and Chapel. Regular bus services run to the neighbouring towns of Llandrindod Wells, Builth Wells and Rhayader which are 2, 5½ and 11 miles distant respectively, and the T4 runs between Cardiff and Newtown. Together they provide a good range of shopping and business facilities, Tesco Superstore, Aldi, Asda and Co-op Supermarkets, successful schools, a Hospital, Railway Station (Shrewsbury to Swansea line), three sports centres, indoor and outdoor bowls (international quality), two golf courses (one with Driving Range), river and lake fishing. The area is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty and tranquillity, ideal for outdoor activities. The City of Hereford and coastal resort of Aberystwyth are both about an hours drive, with Cardiff, Swansea, Worcester and the Severn Bridge about a 1¾-hour drive (Note - All times dependent on traffic levels and any new WAG speed limits). In the Rightmove buyer survey of 2015 the LD1 Post Code area was declared “the friendliest place to move to in the UK” and in their 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2021 surveys Llandrindod Wells was declared the “Happiest Town in Wales”.
