Summary

This charming three bedroomed stone dressed detached period cottage sits in grounds of about ½ acre in a splendid rural position just over 3 miles from the village of Llangynidr in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park.  A former farmhouse, this extended cottage occupies an elevated position and enjoys countryside views across the valley towards the hills beyond.  This extended family home has been the subject of a recent sympathetic upgrade most befitting of its heritage and location which has included the fitting of a new roof, windows, improved insulation and solar panels which together with its private drainage and spring water supply make this an almost self-sufficient, energy efficient home.

Offering comfortable accommodation over two floors, internally the cottage has retained character features such as original ceiling hooks, exposed stone walling and some beams, which sit beautifully alongside more modern enhancements.  This country residence has two good size reception rooms both of which are fuelled by Burley wood stoves, in addition to a warmly inviting and cosy dual aspect kitchen / diner which has space for a large Range cooker.  The ground floor configuration is perfectly suited to those seeking a rural idyll yet with good broadband connectivity to support working from home as this is supplied by a local community scheme.  The kitchen opens to a utility room with a useful cloakroom off with access to the outside from both reception rooms and a rear lobby for ease of access to the garden.  Upstairs, the three bedrooms offer elevated views over the surrounding countryside.  The spacious first floor bathroom is fitted with a contemporary white suite.

The gardens and grounds of this country home are a real gardener’s delight.  Grassed pathways surround the cottage with its gently sloping plot encompassing a broad stone terrace at the front and a paved seating area to the side.  This natural garden is thriving with specimen trees and fruit bushes aplenty with ample storage available for muddy boots, bikes and garden implements in an attached garden store plus a small stone outbuilding currently used to house chickens.

Although in a rural position, the cottage is accessed via a direct village road to Llangynidr and the school bus provides a service from this road to Llangynidr primary school and then linking to the high school in Crickhowell too.
