Property Summary

A delightful cottage in an enviable semi-rural location in the Brecon Beacons National Park, offering superb views over farmland and countryside. Located less than 1 mile from the popular village of Penperlleni and its amenities, circa 6 miles to Abergavenny, 3 miles to Pontypool, 5 miles to Usk and 12 miles to Newport and the M4. This well-maintained period cottage is believed to date back to the early 1800’s. In more recent years Pear Tree Cottage has been sympathetically extended and updated to provide a spacious property still retaining much of its character, including exposed beams, stone walls, feature inglenook fireplace with bread oven and stone curved staircase. The current owners have made improvements by updating the kitchen and bathroom, electrics and boiler and replacing all radiators, gutters, fascia’s and down pipes, whilst enhancing the energy performance rating of the property by increasing loft insulation and floor underlay. This allows a prospective buyer to move straight into the property, while still offering scope for further enhancement, dependent on the buyer’s needs. The cottage has a remote-controlled gated entrance tucked away behind a small cluster of similar properties with driveway providing parking for several vehicles and a meticulously kept garden with breath-taking views over the adjoining farmland and countryside beyond.

The well-presented accommodation comprises to the ground floor: an entrance porch that leads into the hallway which has a cloakroom and an under stairs storage cupboard. The kitchen is the original part of the house and has a wealth of character with an inglenook fireplace housing a multi fuel stove with feature bread oven and original stone staircase to one side (currently blocked off). The kitchen has a range of fitted cupboards with integral double oven, 1 ½ bowl sink, five ring hob and space for a fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. There is a stable style door to the outside. From the kitchen is a spacious dining room with Karndean flooring. A further reception room / lounge with gas fired stove and Karndean flooring leads into the beautiful and generous sized garden room which has a reflective glass roof and a stone fireplace housing a gas fired stove and Karndean flooring. Take the wooden staircase, with turned newel post, to the first floor landing. The landing has two large skylights and is fitted with a comprehensive range of useful storage cupboards with display shelf over as well as an airing cupboard. All 3 bedrooms are accessed via the main landing, as is the family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have an extensive range of fitted bedroom furniture, the further bedroom has much character with an exposed stone chimney breast, a feature fireplace with a lintel over and ceiling beams. The bedrooms offer views over the surrounding open countryside. The modern bathroom, with underfloor heating, is completely tiled and has a suite comprising pedestal wash hand basin, W.C. and benefits from both a bath with hand held shower over and a separate walk in shower.
