Llanbedr, Crickhowell

Full Details

Step Inside
This former farmhouse has been updated, improved and generously extended and offers spacious modern accommodation whilst retaining original period features. Enter through the front door, under a pitched porch, into an open plan kitchen/breakfast room with separate dining room/snug.
The Kitchen is fitted with a modern range of country style cupboards and a central island unit with useful storage space, all with granite work surfaces. A range cooker is set into a recessed alcove, with stone surround and lintel. The dining room area is warm and cosy set around the fireplace with stone chimney breast and hearth and housing an efficient wood/multi fuel burning stove. The whole of this open plan area has a wooden floor with windows to the front of the property.

Step Inside continued
Continue from the kitchen to the Hall with doors leading to the Lounge, Conservatory, Utility Room and Stairs to the First Floor.

The Hall links to an Inner Hall/ Lobby. Leading off the Inner Hall is a Shower Room and Spacious Studio which is presently used for yoga classes. (This could easily become a 4th bedroom) off the studio is a small Study (with plumbing for a kitchenette). A spiral staircase leads down to the Leisure Suite (formerly the garages) with Sauna and Store/Gym Shower, and door out to the rear garden where the current owners have a hot tub overlooking the magnificent views. This whole wing, including the studio, has the advantage of being incorporated into the main house, yet it can also be used as a separate annexe as the studio has a separate entrance from the outside. It could also be returned to the original use as garages..

....
The spacious Lounge has triple aspect windows, with uninterrupted views of the mountains and includes a fireplace with a multi fuel stove. To the rear is a glazed Conservatory with views towards the Courtyard.

From the Hall a staircase leads to the First Floor Landing with linen cupboards and doors to the 3 x First Floor Bedrooms. The two bedrooms to the front have some of the original features including painted stone walls. The Master Bedroom to the rear, with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room with twin basins. This bedroom enjoys stunning views to the rear and side.

Ty Croes offers flexible accommodation either as one dwelling, dual family occupation, B&B or holiday let. The farmhouse has landscaped lawns to the rear adjoining open fields with beautiful views across the valley. The gardens and grounds are totally private with no footpaths or rights of way across the fields.

Step Outside
Ty Croes, is approached via a country lane, serving only this property leading to a spacious area of hardstanding/parking. The original farm yard has a number of stone and wooden outbuildings set around a courtyard.

OUTBUILDINGS
The Outbuildings comprise stable block/workshop, hay barn and storage/tractor shed, various spacious outbuildings for storage, agricultural use or the keeping of livestock and an impressive stone Agricultural Barn. For full details of the outbuildings, please refer to the floorplan.

The outbuildings could, be converted to studios, holiday lets/cottages or other leisure use subject to planning consent. Alternatively, they could remain as agricultural buildings and used in conjunction with the land. Some distance away from the house, approached via a path from the Paddocks, is a Modern Agricultural Barn with hardstanding (subject to separate negotiation).

Step Outside continued
This barn has a separate vehicular access from a lane below the house and grounds; an ideal opportunity for a small business or to be used in conjunction with the land.

The undulating fields are bordered by a stream and woodlands and a lake, providing numerous areas to enjoy the beautiful countryside and spectacular views. The present owners have kept horses and cattle on the land which is fenced into paddocks/ fields but it would equally suit sheep or pigs. Before reaching the house, on the left hand side, is an area of woodland which is also included within the sale (see illustration of land).

The property also has its own direct access to the mountains and it is understood that the owners of Ty Croes as Commoners have unrestricted access to walk or ride and possible grazing rights on the mountain..

...
Ty Philip, is approached via a Green Lane which runs alongside and past the main farmhouse
Ty Croes, and lies at the foot of the mountain, (The track has shared access with the neighbouring farmer to reach his mountain pasture)

Location
The village of Llanbedr is a hub for walkers and mountain bikers, with a delightful village pub and ancient church of Saint Peter (which gives Llanbedr its name), village hall, primary school and is less than 5 miles from the picturesque town of Crickhowell. Llanbedr is in a popular valley and rarely do properties offering the privacy, land, views, flexibility and idyllic location of Ty Croes and Ty Philip come onto the market for sale. Crickhowell is a pretty town with a range of inde-pendent shops and a community devoted to keeping the town’s character and charm. In addition to the amenities offered within the town, the local primary and secondary schools are well regard-ed and the town is very much on the tourist map with annual walking and literary festivals. The Glan Usk Estate is located a short distance away from the town which is home to the annual International Green Man Festival.

Location continued
The market towns of Monmouth, Abergavenny, Brecon and Hereford are all within easy reach and provide more extensive shopping and recreational facilities. The larger market town of Abergavenny is circa 6 miles away where there is a main line railway station and access to the A449/A465, which in turn link to the M4/M5 and M50 motorway networks and from there the major UK cities are accessible by motorway. The Severn bridge is only 45 minutes’ drive.
Abergavenny town plays host to a popular annual food festival. The surrounding area offers many beautiful views and walks, fishing along the River Usk, hill walking along Offa’s Dyke, the Brecon Beacons and Table Mountain, golf at some of the nearby courses, canoeing along the River Wye, trekking on the Black mountains, sailing on Llangorse Lake..

..
Good gastro pubs and restaurants are abound, some of them of national fame; The Felinfach Griffin, The Hardwick and The Walnut Tree near Abergavenny, The Bear and Gliffaes Country House Hotel in Crickhowell.

Agent's Notes
It is worth noting that from the “No Through Road sign” this road only provides access to the properties of Ty Croes and Ty Philip and the neighbouring farm fields. The track up to Ty Philip is a Green Lane. The track beyond Ty Philip gateway provides access to the fields, Ty Croes and Ty Philip having a right of access over the Green Lane. The present owners have not made any planning applications to convert the outbuildings close to the house or any applications on the modern agricultural barn with the separate entrance. The owners have applied to change the static caravan at Ty Philip to a stone building, this has been rejected by the planners but we understand the present static caravan can be replaced. The owner has full details of all planning applications made and, drawings which could be provided and discussed during viewings.
