Property Summary
Situated on the side of the Deri, off a rural lane positioned along a country track, Myrtle Cottage occupies an enviable position with breath-taking views across Abergavenny towards surrounding countryside. The cottage is a traditional hillside cottage believed to have been built in circa 1850 and extended in the 1980s with the cottage and parking on one side of the lane and the generous gardens opposite. The cottage has limited potential to extend without encroaching on the adjoining parking area but there is potential, subject to any necessary planning consents, to erect a summer house on the garden opposite – positioned carefully, the views could be enjoyed throughout the seasons. The accommodation is typical of a cottage with delightful features including quarry tiled floor and a cast iron fire grate with tiled surround. The front door, conveniently located adjoining the parking area opens into a sun room/porch positioned to make the most of the spectacular views with glazing to the front, rear and side with vented windows. The quarry tiled floor continues through to a reception room/study with a glazed panel door to the sitting/dining room, which again benefits from quarry tiled floor and a window to the front with views. A wooden staircase rises from the sitting room to the first floor. The compact but well fitted kitchen is located to the side accessed from the sitting room. On the first floor are 2/3 bedrooms and a bathroom. The principal bedroom is generously proportioned and light with dual aspect windows. Originally two rooms it still has the possibility to be converted back with a folding door to divide the room and two doors leading to the landing. There is one further bedroom, with a window to the front and a family bathroom.Full Details

The garden has the most magnificent views and has the potential to be landscaped further to include a vegetable garden and maybe a home to keep some chickens or other poultry.
