A rare opportunity to become the new owner of a period property located within a short walk of Crickhowell centre. This interesting house is believed to have been built circa 1881 and extended in later years, many of the original features including decorative cornice, arched windows, ornate fireplaces and moulded plaster work remain. The house has been a much-loved family home for many years; the light and spacious rooms, gardens, outbuildings, annexe and location are the perfect combination for potential buyers looking for a town house with views.
Ground Flood
The front door lies to one side of the house set into an entrance porch with half pitched roof. Enter into the porch with W.C. located to the rear. The central entrance hall, with staircase rising to the first floor, provides access to the principal ground floor rooms comprising: spacious reception room with double doors to the glazed conservatory which spans the width of the front of the house, dining room and wonderful sitting room with ornate period fireplace. Both the dining room and sitting room have doors opening into the conservatory from which views towards the surrounding mountains may be enjoyed. To the rear of the central entrance hall are useful storage cupboards, an inner hall and steps down to a sizeable cellar. The spacious kitchen is positioned to the rear of the house, behind the first reception room and has a door to a useful rear entrance porch with more storage cupboards and access to the parking area and garden.
First Floor
An impressive staircase, with carved newel posts, rises to the spacious first floor landing. On the first floor are four generously sized double bedrooms, one en suite, the other three bedrooms being served by a well-appointed family bathroom and additional separate W.C. Each bedroom boasts ample storage and views of Crickhowell and the surrounding hills.
Outside
The house is bordered to the front by a stone wall with wrought iron gates leading to the private driveway. The well-manicured front garden is predominately laid to lawn interspersed with mature shrubs and plants. A swimming pool is set into a stone patio area and to the south elevation is a further stone patio with plenty of space for entertaining. In addition to the gardens, there is space for parking several vehicles.
Outbuilding with Annexe
The useful outbuilding has been divided to accommodate a workshop and a small one bedroom annexe over two floors, also incorporating a small kitchen, sitting area and shower and W.C. There is also a small garden shed in a discretely hidden refuse area.
