Old meets new in this spacious, stylish and luxurious stone cottage, which boasts magnificent beams, leaded-light windows and a traditional open fireplace. Surrounded by lovely countryside, it’s the perfect base for outdoor adventures, whether you’re friends getting together or a small family.
This gorgeous property has a timeless feel and is decorated with lovely furnishings, interesting art, elegant window treatments and attractive lighting. The kitchen/diner is the heart of the home, with a fabulous quarry-tiled floor and a farmhouse-style dining table, surrounded by painted-wood cabinets and all the appliances you’ll need for creative cooking. The large lounge, also with a quarry-tiled floor, offers comfortable seating gathered around an open fire, with a Smart TV for entertainment on a quiet evening in. To reach the first floor, take the cottage-style, winding staircase and you’ll find two bedrooms, a king-size with a high, sloping roof (and a shallow step in the centre of the room) and a twin, sharing a family bathroom. The enormous lawn outside is perfect for stretching your legs and breathing in the fresh Welsh air, and there’s a patio area with a dining set where you can enjoy al fresco meals and drinks. You might also want to wander along to the beautiful orchard, in which apple and pear trees grow.
Set within the historic Llanover Estate on the edge of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, the cottage is just 3 miles from the shops and restaurants of Abergavenny and 8 miles from quaint Crickhowell. Raglan, Skenrith and Grosmont castles can all be reached within 10 miles, and the family attraction of the Big Pit at Blaenavon is just 6 miles. For keen walkers, the Offa’s Dyke footpath to the Hay Bluff can be accessed at Llanthony Valley, 9 miles.
