Cwmyoy, Abergavenny

A three bedroom detached period cottage enjoying a prime rural location in the sought after village community of Cwmyoy. Bridge Cottage dates back over 200 years, forming part of the history of the Llanthony Valley. During Victorian times it became part of the Walter Savage Landor Estate with the Landor family using the cottage as a fishing lodge. The property retains the fishing rights along a stetch of the River Honddu still rich with Brown Trout.
The property has been historically extended to provide generous three bedroom accommodation that retains a number of period features, most notably the 'clasped hand' window fasteners made at the estate foundry in Llanthony, but also a stone fireplace with bread oven and exposed beams. The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance porch which leads to the large living room with aforementioned feature fireplace, and porthole window. The living room opens through to a further sitting room which makes for a flexible and well proportioned social space. In addition, there is a 23' kitchen/diner with oil fired Rayburn and separate entrance. From the living room stairs lead up to a bright and airy landing with window looking out to the garden. This leads to three double bedrooms all with pleasing views, one with en-suite bathroom, and a family bathroom.
The Cottage sits adjacent to a lane, across which is a large private parking area sufficient for four cars. It sits within charming mature gardens which are largely to the front with a raised section to the side and rear. Liberally planted with wealth of mature shrubs and trees the garden includes a central area of lawn and interspersed with well stocked borders. In the far corner of the garden is a substantial timber outbuilding with power divided between a workshop area and wood store. One particularly delightful feature of the outside of Bridge Cottage is a section of woodland that runs along the riverbank. Situated beyond the parking area and measuring approximately a third of an acre, it includes two ancient oak trees and provides a haven for wildlife including otters, nesting dippers and flycatchers. It is a magical addition to the property as a whole.
Bridge Cottage is a home of real character and charm in a highly sought after location that is offered with no onward chain.
