Builth Road is a charming small Victorian hamlet set in the beautiful Wye Valley that was developed by the Railway company at the intersection of two lines to accommodate the railway workers. The North-South line was closed in the 1960’s and the Pub is currently closed, so there is just an engineering works and fencing suppliers. Railway Terrace is a privately maintained road on the Western side of the line, and Number 12 is located close to the Station (Shrewsbury to Swansea Line), has an easterly aspect and beautiful views to the rear. Llanelwedd primary school is 2 miles away, a regular bus service runs to the neighbouring towns and the Royal Welsh Showground (1½ miles) has numerous events and attractions throughout the year.

Together they provide a good range of shopping and business amenities, Tesco Superstore, Aldi and Co-op Supermarkets, successful schools, Cinema / Arts Centre, Theatre, Library, Hospital, etc. Excellent local leisure amenities include three sports centres, two golf courses, indoor and outdoor bowls, river and lake fishing and open countryside ideal for walking, mountain biking and horse riding.   Brecon is roughly 20 miles away, with Newtown, Merthyr Tydfil, Abergavenny, Hereford and Aberystwyth are all within an hour’s drive.
