Externally

A gated entrance opens to a parking area in between the house and cottage, and is large enough for several cars. Stone steps lead up to the 1st floor accommodation of the cottage, whilst to the other side a path leads along the side of the house to the rear gardens. A large south facing patio area provides a perfect place for outdoor sitting and dining with views across the lawn and into the vegetable garden. Steps lead through a terraced shrubbery to a raised, decked platform and paved sun terrace outside Bedroom 1 with elevated views across the garden. The majority of the garden is a lawned area with a steep bank to one side, and the River Clydach running along the boundary. There are three ponds, currently unused. The garden also benefits from a mature, walled-in vegetable garden, a greenhouse and stone built shed. Around the grounds there are 2 cellars accessed off the driveway, 2 slate roofed tool sheds, a woodshed, slate roofed garden shed, animal house and mower (truncated)
