For Sale4 Bedroom House in Ffawyddog, Crickhowell£775,000

A wonderful and welcoming stone cottage with origins in the 1800s, full of character and with many period features. The cottage has been in the same ownership for circa 40 years, originally forming part of the Glan Usk Estate and offers the rare opportunity to own a delightful home, in a beautiful, rural location and yet within a few minutes’ drive of A roads, within walking distance of the Brecon and Monmouth Canal and circa 1.5 miles from the picturesque and award winning town of Crickhowell. The cottage sits in just under an acre of gardens and grounds, surrounded by open fields and benefits from outbuildings including a detached stone garage with a pitched roof, carport with attached stone and timber barn/wood store and a wooden garden shed. The views from all aspects are spectacular and include The Sugar Loaf and Table Mountain. Ground Floor Enter through the front door into an entrance hall with double glazed doors to the inner hall and downstairs W.C. Through the double doors is the inner hall where the staircase rises to the first floor, doors lead to the kitchen/ breakfast room and to the sitting room. The kitchen breakfast room is a traditional farmhouse style with wooden cupboards, tiled floor and traditional stone fireplace. A door leads to a useful utility/boot room and to the glazed garden room, the perfect place to enjoy views across the garden, open fields and beyond. On the opposite side of the hall to the kitchen is the impressive sitting room with windows to both the front and rear aspects and a traditional stone fireplace with wooden mantle and a wood burning stove set on a stone hearth. ... Doors off the sitting room access a useful study with window to the front and a cosy snug, again with a stone fireplace housing a woodburning stove. The snug has a full length glazed door leading to the outside terrace. The sitting room, study and snug all have exposed timbers which, together with the stone fireplaces, adds character to the rooms. The 3 reception rooms offer versatility in terms of their use and afford views to the garden and open fields beyond. First Floor The staircase rises to the first floor landing which is full of character with exposed A frame timbers, brace and ledge doors and wooden balustrades. The landing has two windows with superb views, which are also enjoyed from the bedrooms. On the first floor is a principal bedroom with an ensuite shower room, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom with free standing claw foot bath. There is some restricted head height on the first floor, the compromise of the character with exposed beams and timbers. Outside The cottage is approached via a country lane, over a canal bridge and ending at the property so there is no passing traffic which adds to the appeal of the idyllic rural location. A wooden 5 bar gate leads to the private driveway with ample parking for several vehicles. A stone path leads to the front of the cottage and continues to the rear. The level gardens and grounds are surrounded by open fields and include lawns, mature trees and hedges. The grounds are bordered by a stone wall to the front and wooden fencing to the side and rear boundaries which adjoin open fields. The outbuildings include an open fronted carport with attached stone and timber barn and a detached stone garage with pitched roof which could be, subject to any relevant planning consents, converted to an annexe or studio. Parking and Access Private driveway with ample parking for several vehicles. Location The cottage is located on the lower slopes of the rural community of Ffawyddog, located approximately 1.5 miles from the picturesque town of Crickhowell, a thriving town with independent shops and a good range of amenities including well-regarded primary and secondary schools, library, doctors’ and dentists’ surgeries, restaurants and public houses. Crickhowell, which has been voted one of the best places to live by the Sunday Times, lies on the banks of the River Usk and offers a wide range of recreational and outdoor activities such as walking and cycling. Abergavenny, circa 8 miles to the east, has wider facilities including supermarkets, a general hospital, leisure centre, bus station and a mainline railway station. Road links within the area are considered excellent with the A465 Heads of the Valleys Road circa 4 miles and the A40 circa 2 miles away providing access to the A470 for Cardiff, A4042/A449 for Newport and the M50 and M4 motorways.
