Orchard Court, Crickhowell

A substantially extended and architect-designed four-bedroom semi-detached home set within a private close in the heart of Crickhowell, offering outstanding views and an expansive garden.
Originally built in the 1960s, the property was transformed by a two-storey extension completed in 2018 to create a generous and well-balanced family home. The layout now offers excellent flow and versatility, with stylish modern finishes throughout.
A welcoming entrance hall leads into the main living room, including a feature wood burning stove with Italian tile surround. There is a superb kitchen/dining room—an impressive contemporary space with sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances and full-width bi-fold doors that connect directly to the garden terrace, creating an ideal setting for day-to-day living and entertaining. A utility area, ground-floor WC and rear entrance hall complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, the extended first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms. The breathtaking principal bedroom enjoys a remarkable outlook from its floor to ceiling windows taking in St Edmund's Church, the Darren and Table Mountain, and also includes an en-suite shower room. The former main bedroom faces the Llangattock escarpment overlooking Bullpit Meadow, while bedrooms three and four also benefit from the home's elevated position and far-reaching views. A modern family bathroom serves the additional bedrooms.
Positioned in a private close off Bridge Street, the property enjoys a level of peace and privacy rarely found so close to Crickhowell's amenities with the added convenience of a single garage with parking to the fore. The garden was originally part of the castle's apple orchard and now provides a beautiful, secluded space to enjoy, wrapping around all elevations of the house. It attracts abundant wildlife, from songbirds to regular visits from a pair of red kites. Mature Acer, Hazel, Liquid Amber, Eucalyptus and Ornamental Flowering Cherry trees, together with Magnolia and Sambucus, offer colour, structure and privacy throughout the warmer months. There are also two very useful stone built outbuildings.
Thoughtfully extended, beautifully finished and positioned to take full advantage of its outstanding outlook, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive home in one of Wales' most desirable towns.

What the owners say about their home: "
Living in this house is special. We knew it would be, but we had no idea just how much we'd love it. The fact it is tucked away is an advantage. Once you pass beyond the big, black gate you're in an oasis and yet so close to everything you want to do. No matter which room you're in you appreciate the view: it never gets old and the longer you're in the house the more you realise just how lucky you are.

Lying in bed with a cup of tea, you watch the seasons change as your eye is drawn to the mountains in the kind of borrowed view which belies the fact you're right in the middle of Crickhowell. Never does a vehicle pass the house, in fact no one really knows we're here. In winter it's cosy. In summer, with the bi-folds open, it's the perfect indoor/outdoor living.

This is so much more than just bricks and mortar, it's a sanctuary, a refuge: food for the soul."
