Crickhowell, Powys

Property Summary

Upper House Farm is very much a community although the design allows for each house to maintain its own privacy in a quiet and tranquil environment. Each house has its own private garden plus the benefit of professionally maintained communal grounds. Nearby is a pretty courtyard, home to a variety of small businesses including a cafe, beautician, gym and a yoga/Pilates studio, all within walking distance of Crickhowell town. This beautifully presented townhouse has lovely features including wooden floors, a contemporary kitchen and built in bookshelves and cupboards and bespoke joinery. The accommodation is arranged over three floors with two reception rooms and three bedrooms, one including a mezzanine. The property is of an individual design with a high degree of build quality using local materials and craftsmanship. The exterior of the house is part stone and part timber clad with natural wood windows and doors. The interior incorporates natural wood throughout with oak framed double glazed windows, internal doors in sycamore and wooden floors to the majority of rooms. Pedestrian only access to the front is at upper ground floor level while the lower ground floor level is served by a road to the rear, with large wooden double gates opening into the private courtyard.

The upper level wooden entrance door with oak framed porch above opens into a smart entrance hall with wooden floor. A hall cupboard and shower room with basin and WC are to the left, and to the right is the dining room offering plenty of space for a large dining table and chairs with French doors to the oak framed balcony – perfect for a sundowner at the end of the day! A feature archway leads to the kitchen/breakfast room which is fitted with an excellent bespoke range of base and wall cupboards with an additional full height double larder cupboard. The kitchen has composite marble effect work surfaces with built in oven and hob, utility appliances discreetly hidden behind one of the cupboards, and an island breakfast bar. Stairs lead down past an alcove with built in bookshelves to a splendid sitting room with polished wood floor, fireplace with woodburning stove and arched double doors to the garden. The sitting room features further built in shelves and lovely views of the rear patio garden. Off this room is a full sized double bedroom. On the first floor are two dual aspect double bedrooms, and the family bathroom with ‘Jack & Jill’ doors giving access from both the bedroom and landing. This has a bath with built in shower, basin and WC. In the large first bedroom a staircase leads to the impressive mezzanine gallery within the vaulted ceiling, used as a study area with bookshelves at each end. The second bedroom has a mirror fronted built in wardrobe running the length of one wall with ample hanging space and shelving.
