Orchard Lane, Llangynidr, NP8

This charming chocolate box cottage was formerly the Canal Master’s residence and is nestled at the end of a lane adjacent to the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal in the pretty village of Llangynidr in the Bannau Brycheiniog - Brecon Beacons - National Park, some 5 miles or so from the market town of Crickhowell.  Cosy and attractive with heaps of kerb appeal, this three bedroomed detached stone cottage from the mid-1800’s sits in approximately ¼ of an acre gardens which feature dipping ponds, a wedding cake tree and hillside views over the scenic landscape which surround the property.  

Much loved by the current owner, this home has interesting layout with two reception rooms and a conservatory overlooking the south westerly gardens, a contemporary kitchen / breakfast room with slate flooring, plus three bedrooms and a family bathroom to the first floor, in addition to a ground floor cloakroom.  Outside, this family home has off road drive parking for one vehicle which fronts a detached double garage with space inside for two further vehicles.
