Cottage in Mid Wales

About this property

A charming 17th century stone cottage in a tranquil location, perfect for couples or families looking to really escape the hustle and bustle and get back to nature.

Tucked away with a pretty mountain stream running through the cottage garden, this two bedroom property is a hit with walking enthusiasts with miles of uninterrupted walks straight from the door. Take to two wheels and join the Taff Trail cycle route or the Henry Vaughan walk along the old Brynoyre railway track, which both run along the valley near the cottage. The pretty village of Talybont on Usk is 1 mile away and has a canal, two rivers, a reservoir, woods and waterfalls to explore. It also boasts an excellent local butcher, delicatessen, the town stores, pharmacy and working mill and bakery along with a selection of pubs. An entrance porch leads into the country kitchen with an antique pine dresser, along with a dining table and chairs. Equipped with all you may need to rustle up a snack or a more formal meal, this room has an electric double oven, a microwave and an American style fridge freezer. The conservatory is a truly delightful space to sit and watch the world go by, with an abundance of wildlife to spot including a range of birds and animals in the garden. The sitting room is bursting with character with exposed brickwork and beams, making this a super space to unwind on the comfortable sofas while the wood burner warms the room. The bathroom is located on this level and has a bath, hand held shower and WC. From the kitchen, steep traditional cottage style stone stairs wind around the back of the fireplace up to the first floor, where you ll find the first of two restful and spacious double bedrooms, each with an additional single bed. The second of these rooms is accessed via a further steep cottage style stone spiral staircase, found coming off the living room. Step outside into the garden and soak up the beautiful natural environment around you. Take a seat on the garden furniture and fire up the BBQ for an evening of al fresco drinks and dining. There is a designated parking space for one car with additional parking available nearby. Please note that due to the unguarded stream running though the garden all children will require adult supervision at all times.

Annual BEE swarm each year from around end of May to end of July a swarm of bees will move into the chimney of this property. These bees are protected and are usually mild mannered going about their business if left undisturbed. It is wise to close the bedroom window and bedroom door during the day to avoid the odd stray bee entering the property. As they are high up in the chimney they generally do not cause any issues when enjoying the outdoor spaces and have not been problematic in past years but alerting guests who may have a potential for bee sting allergies. .
