Tretower, Crickhowell, NP8

This charming detached two bedroomed stone-fronted cottage is nestled within an ancient hamlet in the heart of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. Occupying an elevated position above the road, the property enjoys beautifully established south-westerly gardens which wrap around three sides of the cottage and offer a stunning bird's-eye view of the medieval Tretower Castle directly opposite.  Despite its historic setting, the cottage is exceptionally well connected.  The adjoining road provides convenient access to neighbouring towns and villages, while the nearby market town of Abergavenny offers a mainline railway station with links to destinations further afield.

Entered via a door flanked by twin windows to either side, the lounge / diner at the front of the cottage has great proportions, spanning the width of the front of the house and having a stone fireplace which hosts a wood stove.  A latched door opens into a modern and recently re-fitted dual aspect kitchen / breakfast room which has a range of shaker style units, plus a plate rack and display shelving which sits beautifully alongside exposed beams and partly exposed stone walling.  A door opens from this room into the rear hallway which provides access to the first floor, but also into a wall enclosed courtyard, making dining outdoors easy and simple to do.

The two first floor bedrooms both enjoy splendid views across a field to Tretower Castle which sits directly opposite the cottage. Both bedrooms have exposed stone walling, as does the white bathroom suite which serves the bedrooms.  There is a good deal of storage on the first floor with a large eaves storage space, plus an inbuilt wardrobe. summerhouse at the top of the garden.  Although there is no garage with the property, there is an attached outbuilding which is suitable for storing garden implements and furniture.  Given that it is near to the kitchen, it may be worth investigating whether it could be used as an exterior utility space.  Parking is on street and there is no forward chain with the property. Outside, the gardens are tiered to maximise the space and include a courtyard, a raised shingled patio and pathways opening onto a lawn.  The views towards the castle are quite lovely and can be enjoyed from the timber garden.

Garden

The cottage is in an elevated position above the road and is approached via a set of steps leading to a pretty low wall enclosed terrace running the width of the property providing access to the entrance door and a seating area with a fantastic view of Tretower Castle which lies directly opposite. The gardens of this home are a particular feature wrapping around three sides of the cottage with a private courtyard immediately adjoining the property and providing a secluded position to dine outdoors. A true gardener’s delight, a set of stone steps leads from the front terrace into the main body of the garden which has been arranged with different areas of interest providing an array of seating areas and delightful spaces looking towards Tretower Castle. The garden is tiered allowing for maximum use of the area with shingled pathways blending with lawned gardens planted with a plethora of shrubbery and flowers, plus fruit trees and at the top of the garden, a productive vegetable patch...
