Melbourne House is located in a prominent location in Irfon Crescent, which is the main street and coincides with the A483 Manchester to Swansea Trunk road. The rear garden has a pleasant Southerly aspect, there are fine distant views from the top rear bedroom and it is within ¼-mile of a Primary School, Convenience Store, Garage, two Hotels, two pubs, restaurant, Doctors Surgery, Community Centre and Dolwen Park which incorporates a children's play area and rugby pitch. Llanwrtyd Wells was developed in the 19th century as a Victorian Spa resort, with a livestock market and Woollen Mill (both now closed), set on the banks of the River Irfon on the main road between Builth Wells and Llandovery, and serviced by the Heart of Wales Railway (Shrewsbury to Swansea). It was the smallest market town in the UK (population in 2011 census was 850), but the market was closed after Foot and Mouth in 2001. The town is still a very active tourist resort, hosting the World Famous “Man v Horse Cross Country Marathon”, World Bog Snorkelling Championship, Beer Festival, Walking Festival, etc. The historic small market towns of Llandovery and Builth Wells are 11 and 13 miles distant, and the County Town of Llandrindod Wells is 18 miles (via Newbridge-on-Wye B4358). Together they offer a wider range of amenities to include a Tesco Superstore, Aldi and Co-op supermarkets, hospitals, leisure centres, two 18-hole golf courses, indoor and outdoor bowls, river and lake fishing. This area is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty and tranquillity, ideal for outdoor pursuits. The larger towns of Brecon and Carmarthen are roughly 24 and 37 miles, with Swansea City and the West Wales coast within a 1½-hour drive and Cardiff is about a 1¾-hour ( Dependent of traffic conditions).
