Country home in a national park with sweeping views and a surprise converted barn

If a house steeped in history as well as a glorious location that is rural but not isolated are two house-hunting boxes that must be ticked, maybe Yr Hen Bersondy is a house that can tempt you if your budget is big enough to match your ambition.
