Brecon Road, Crickhowell, NP8

Sitting in the heart of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park in the sought after market town of Crickhowell, is this handsome Grade II Listed town house.  Occupying  grounds of circa 0.7 of an acre and enjoying fine long distance views across its glorious walled gardens towards Llangattock Hillside and Table Mountain, this is a generous and hugely versatile family sized home with four reception rooms, six bedrooms and five bathrooms together with a detached coach house and extensive parking facilities, all being offered to the market with no forward chain.

This substantial residence will appeal to buyers seeking larger than average accommodation for multi-generational living or for those who are looking for a home from which to generate an income.  Whilst the property is currently a primary residence, it was once a Guest House and its unusual configuration with front and rear hallways, three entrance doors and two staircases serving a connected first floor, means that it is equally suited for this or for sub-division into two homes. The converted coach house in the grounds also offers the opportunity for an excellent home / work lifestyle balance or for those just needing extra accommodation for guests.  Any alteration to the property would require listed building consent in addition to the normal planning consents that will apply. 

Entered through a central hallway, this double fronted home has two splay bay windowed reception rooms to either side of the hall, both with gothic style doors with ornamental detailing.  The principal dual aspect sitting room opens into a morning room which hosts a large tunnel fireplace to the kitchen/breakfast room which has space for a range cooker and a dining area.  A rear hallway flows into a garden room overlooking a pretty courtyard style garden with seating and barbeque area.  The formal reception rooms are served by a range of ancillary rooms including a utility room, boot room, cloakroom and a side entrance with plenty of room for coats and boots and much provision for storage throughout.

Upstairs, there is lots of choice with six bedrooms, with four of the bedrooms having en-suite facilities and the remaining two bedrooms having the benefit of a four piece bathroom suite with fitted linen cupboards.  Five of the bedrooms are doubles; the sixth bedroom being a large single room which will take a double bed.  For additional storage, there are two useful attics as well.

Outside, the grounds are a gardener’s dream and are featured in the town’s annual Open Gardens Scheme.  Beautifully presented with a dizzying array of perennials, herbaceous shrubbery, specimen trees, lawned and paved pathways, a lily pond and several seating areas, the gardens are a complete joy to explore. 

Garden

FRONT & SIDE GARDEN AND PARKING | The property sits behind stone walling and is approached via a pedestrian gate and a set of gate piers hung with double vehicular gates to the side opening onto a long sweeping driveway leading to the rear of the house and providing extensive off road parking facilities. Whilst the property has a traditional formal front entrance via an enclosed frontage into its hallway, to the side of the house, an attractive stone flagged courtyard planted with roses and lavender interspersed with stone cobbles and slate chippings offers a welcoming “everyday” access to the kitchen, garden room and rear hallway of the house. An opening in a wisteria clad stone wall from the courtyard leads into a lawned garden; adjoining the garden room and encompassing a stone paved patio with inbuilt barbeque, this space has a further seating area enclosed by a curved stone wall, making it a perfect spot for outside dining and entertaining, with ease of access into the gar...

WALLED GARDENS | The walled gardens of the property afford distant views towards the Darren and have been thoughtfully arranged and planted with separate areas of interest and seating places dotted throughout this wonderful outside space. Stone steps lead from the parking area up into a delightful lawned garden which enjoys a southerly vista towards Llangattock Hillside. The lawn encompasses shaped flowerbeds brimming over with herbaceous shrubbery with dwarf hedging adding structure and dimension to the abundance of statement planting, maximising its impact as far as the eye can see. An intermediate area of garden bridging the front and side gardens with its rear hosts a small lily pond framed by peonies, forget me nots and poppies, to name but a few, with lilac trees, a silver birch and a stepping stone pathway leading to a yew tree archway giving access to a natural cottage style garden at the rear. Through the archway, lawned pathways dotted with wildflowers and long grasses...
