Pen Y Fal Chapel
Set in a glorious position above the popular market town of Abergavenny this unique conversion of a Grade II Listed chapel into six stunning townhouses faithfully captures the character of the original building. The experienced developers have drawn on their skills in renovating older properties to present this exclusive opportunity. Pen Y Fal Chapel was built in the late 19th century
to serve the patients and staff of the nearby hospital. Constructed of bull-nosed red sandstone with a tall slate roof, the chapel is cruciform in plan with a stunning octagonal fleche at the crossing. Architectural elements of the original building shine through wherever possible, flaunting arched stained glass windows, hewn stonework and an incredible wooden vaulted ceiling.
Location
The Chapel is within walking distance of the centre of Abergavenny, regularly placed in the ‘Top Ten Places to Live In Wales’. In recent years Abergavenny has transformed from a traditional market town into a thriving mecca of all manner of festivals and events including the acclaimed Annual Food Festival, attracting thousands of visitors each year. The landscape around the town, on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, presents a multitude of things to do. Described as the ‘Gateway to Wales’, Abergavenny is the perfect location for everything outdoors... from visiting the many local castles to scaling the Welsh mountains, cruising on the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal to wine tasting at the local vineyard. The historic market town offers a wide range of amenities including shops, primary and secondary schools, banks, doctors, dentists, a library and a general hospital. Abergavenny has a leisure centre with swimming pool, a cinema, theatre and the area is well known for its many high quality restaurants. The town has a mainline railway station and good road links for commuting; the property is situated within easy reach of the commercial centres of south Wales via the Heads of the Valleys road and the A40/A449 linking to the M4, M5 and M50 motorways for Cardiff, Bristol and the Midlands.
