Property Summary

Pen Ffawyddog is an appealing, double fronted stone house, believed to have origins in the 1700s, when the property was a smaller house with agricultural barn attached. During the mid 19th Century, the property was purchased by the Glanusk Estate and the house was rebuilt in late Victorian times, as depicted by the plaque above the door. We understand the agricultural barn was incorporated into the house in the early 1970s to extend the living space and at this point a kitchen and ground floor bathroom were added to the house. The house was last sold circa 40 years ago and requires modernisation and refurbishment throughout and offers incredible potential to be transformed into a stunning family home in a glorious location. A wooden front door opens directly into the entrance hall with doors to each of the principal rooms. To the front are two reception rooms with sash windows, the smaller of the two with a brick fireplace, built-in cupboards and access to a huge family room, formerly an adjoining barn. French doors on either side allow light to flood in and enhance the beautiful wooden timbers and arrow slit windows. There is a woodburning stove on a tiled hearth with stone surround and external door opening to a stone terrace to the side of the house. Adjacent to sitting room, and also accessed from the hallway is a further room, ideal for use as a utility/bootroom, with en suite shower room with W.C. To the other side of the hall is a larger sitting room with open fireplace with York stone surround and French doors to the garden. To the rear of the property is a kitchen with a door leading to the wooden-framed sunroom providing access to the delightful grounds. The first floor comprises four well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with a hand basin, two W.C.s and a family bathroom.

Full Details

Step Outside
Located off a rural country lane, Pen Ffawyddog is approached over a cattle grid and along a private track to a large driveway with plenty of parking space for numerous vehicles. A pair of flat-roofed garages/workshops with wooden double doors to the front sit at right angles to the house. The property sits in grounds of circa 1.85 acres which lie predominately to the side and rear and offer much privacy and seclusion. The gardens are well-maintained, primarily laid to lawn and interspersed with mature trees, planted beds and shrubs. To the far side is an area of woodland and a meadow. Adjacent to the rear of house is a coal shed and store.

Location
The close-knit, rural community of Ffawyddog is located approximately 1.5 miles from the picturesque town of Crickhowell, a thriving community with independent shops and a good range of amenities including well-regarded primary and secondary schools, library, doctors’ and dentists’ surgeries, restaurants and public houses. The town lies on the banks of the River Usk and offers a wide range of recreational and outdoor activities such as walking and cycling. Abergavenny, circa 8 miles to the east, has wider facilities including supermarkets, a general hospital, leisure centre, bus station and a mainline railway station. Road links within the area are considered excellent with the A465 Heads of the Valleys Road circa 4 miles away providing access to the A470 for Cardiff, A4042/A449 for Newport and the M50 and M4 motorways.

Agent's Notes
The fixtures and fittings throughout the house are somewhat dated e.g. kitchen, bathrooms, interior fittings. No information is available regarding the central heating system or the status of the electrical wiring. The gardens and grounds were very well kept (photographs available) but have been minimally maintained during the past year. The property forms part of a Deceased Estate, therefore, some of the more detailed information is not available and it will be the responsibility of the purchaser to obtain specialist reports for any points deemed necessary.

Unless specifically described in these particulars, all fixtures and fittings are excluded from the sale though may be available by separate negotiation.
