Old Rectory Barn

Nestled in a tranquil location within the Clydach Gorge, this light-filled barn conversion makes for the perfect rural retreat with friends or family thanks to its sociable open-plan living space, wonderful original features and expansive private garden.

The ground floor presents three generously proportioned bedrooms. The first is a twin bedroom with an en-suite wet room. Two additional bedrooms, a double with an en-suite shower room, and a twin with an en-suite shower room, have access to a terrace with table and chairs. A day room with comfortable seating, TV, and double doors opening onto the gardens offers a perfect space for leisurely afternoons. There’s a utility room and a convenient ground-floor cloakroom, too. On the first floor, an expansive open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner welcomes guests with exposed beams and plenty of natural light. The lounge area, boasting comfortable sofas and a TV, adjoins the dining area, where you’ll find a generously sized table for eight. The well-equipped kitchen ensures meal times will be a breeze. Completing the first floor is a spacious double bedroom with the option for two additional beds for children, along with an en-suite bathroom. Outside, enjoy the delightful grounds, with a patio area equipped with a table and chairs and a gas BBQ. Steps lead to a mature garden with comfortable lounge furniture and an outdoor open fire, providing warmth under the starry skies at night.

Less than a mile from Gilwern village, in the south-eastern corner of the Brecon Beacons National Park, the cottage provides a peaceful retreat, yet with easy access to pubs, shops, and a scenic canal. Situated on the periphery of the Blaenavon World Heritage site, embark on countryside walks right from the doorstep. The vibrant market town of Crickhowell (4.5 miles) offers independent shops, pubs, restaurants, and cafes, while Abergavenny (4 miles) beckons with its annual food festival, farmers’ markets, and Norman castle. Explore nearby attractions such as Blaenavon Iron Works (7 miles) or Big Pit National Coal Museum, 7 miles from the property.
