About this property
An idyllic cottage nestled on a quiet hillside with far reaching views across the Sugar Loaf Mountain from the south facing terrace. Set in the heart of the glorious Black Mountains, it's just a short drive from the market town of Abergavenny and picturesque Crickhowell. With woodland trails, miles of National Park trails & plenty of country pubs it is the perfect get away from it all.
Close to the natural border between England and Wales there are incredible walks and mountain bike trails right from the door with riding stables in the neighbouring valley for pony trekking. Historic castles, beautiful abbeys and ancient churches nearby, as well as the market town of Abergavenny within 15 minutes, famed for its food festival each September and Hay on Wye with its world famous literary festival each May. The Cathedral cities of Brecon and Hereford are within 45 minutes.
Enter the cottage into the kitchen / diner with range style double electric oven and gas hob, fridge, dishwasher, freezer, washer/dryer and wood burner. The lounge has another wood burner (first basket of logs included), comfortable sofas and excellent Wi -fi in case you do need to do some work! There is a smart TV and Blu-ray. From here there are steep stone steps up to the first bedroom which is a super king-size bed which can also be made into a twin on request. This room is cosy and full of light with doors leading onto the garden. Another few steep steps up to the first floor with the master super king-size bedroom, small en suite shower room and WC. Along the hall is another twin room, and there is a family bathroom with bath, shower over and WC.
Outside is a stunning terrace with plenty of seating, BBQ and lawn area with spectacular views.
