Llanbedr, Crickhowell

Enjoying a superb location in the heart of the Grwyne Fechan Valley, 4 miles from Crickhowell, Tir Y Nant, is a detached residence set within grounds of approximately 4 acres. From its humble origins as a Forester's cottage, the property has been redesigned and extended to create a hugely impressive and expansive home, in a breathtaking rural setting in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Overall the property affords over 3500 square feet of flexible accommodation with views over the gardens and grounds being enjoyed from all parts. The ground floor accommodation comprises a large L-shaped entrance hall that opens into a formal dining room with patio doors out to a terrace, and a 20' lounge also with patio doors and including a wood burning stove. Arguably the heart of this home is the 22' kitchen/family room, once again with direct access to the rear terrace, equipped with an oil-fired Aga and including larder storage. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a further sitting room/study with French doors to the front, a large utility room, downstairs WC and direct access to the 19' square integral double garage.
The first floor again provides a wealth of breathtaking views, with the tone set by the airy landing with seating area overlooking the front paddock. The fabulous 19' master suite enjoys a double aspect over the front and side of the house, and includes an en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. There are three further double bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room and a family bathroom.

The flat land of Tir y Nant is mainly grassland surrounded by trees and with the Grwyne Fechan river flowing down one side and across the far end of the property. The house is accessed via a private driveway that cuts through the paddock to the main forecourt providing parking for numerous cars in front of the house. The driveway splits to the side of the house providing access to an area of level lawn with an extensive area of overspill parking. The formal garden is south facing, enjoying sunshine for most of the day throughout the year. The aforementioned terrace has steps down to the extensive lawn, which extends the full length of garden at the rear in which are two wild ponds, which are a boon for local wildlife. Adjacent to the ponds is a large area of woodland, which was reclaimed from the Forestry a number of years ago and replanted by the current owners with native broadleaf trees. The entire plot is interspersed with mature trees throughout giving a secluded and tranquil feel, accentuated by the sound of the nearby river.

The Grwyne Fechan is an unspoilt and beautiful valley sparsely populated and with a road that ends a couple of miles beyond Tir y Nant. Although quiet, the valley has a close-knit community of about 20 houses and also benefits from access to the village community of Llanbedr with its village pub, church and active village hall. The thriving town of Crickhowell, is 4 miles away and provides a range of independent retail, and cultural events including the Green Man Festival. The wider rail and road network can be accessed from the thriving market town of Abergavenny which is 10 miles away.

In summary, Tir Y Nant is an exceptional home in a superlative location that represents the very best that this select part of the Brecon Beacons National Park has to offer.
