With footpaths leading up the surrounding hills, this stone-built cottage for four is ideal for walkers and nature enthusiasts. Beautifully renovated, the cottage retains many original features while incorporating modern conveniences to create a welcoming home away from home, complete with far-reaching rural views and a spacious garden.
Inside, discover exposed woodwork, whitewashed stone walls and plenty of county charm. Sit back and relax in the lounge with a film or a book as the coal-effect gas fire flickers in the fireplace. The fitted oak kitchen has everything you need for culinary creativity, while the antique farmhouse dining table comfortably seats six. There’s also a convenient ground-floor cloakroom. Upstairs, the pretty master bedroom features an antique brass double bed, while the second bedroom is a twin with single beds. You’ll find the family bathroom tucked under the sloping eaves of the roof. Outside, the garden offers spectacular views across the Usk Valley and Brecon Beacons, with ample space for children to run and play. Dine alfresco at the wooden table and benches under the shelter of the oak-framed canopy awning and enjoy this peaceful setting surrounded by nature.
With a pub within walking distance, a restaurant 2.5 miles away, and a shop 3 miles away, you’ll never go hungry or thirsty. Brecon lies 4 miles in one direction, while Crickhowell (11 miles) and Abergavenny (17 miles) are in the other, offering a range of independent shops, cafes, pubs, and restaurants. The nearby Rivers Usk and Wye are perfect for fishing, with day permits available in Crickhowell, or try sailing, paddle boarding, and kayaking at Llangorse Lake (6.5 miles). Tackle Pen Y Fan (5 miles), the highest peak in South Wales, or for a more leisurely day out, take a journey back in time on the Brecon Beacons Mountain Railway (14 miles) or venture underground at the Big Pit Mining Museum 19 miles from home.
