Property Summary

Located in a most sought-after area within walking distance of Crickhowell town, this beautifully presented townhouse has a wealth of features including wooden floors, handmade kitchen cupboards and a fabulous bespoke library. The accommodation is arranged over three floors with two reception rooms plus a mezzanine and four bedrooms, two of which are en-suite. Upper House Farm is very much a community although the design allows for each house to maintain its own privacy in a quiet and tranquil environment. Each house has its own private garden plus the benefit of communal grounds which are professionally maintained. Within a couple of minutes’ walk is a pretty courtyard, home to a variety of small businesses including a cafe, beautician, gym and a yoga/Pilates studio.

The property is of an individual design with a high degree of build quality using local materials and craftsmanship enhanced by the addition of high quality light fittings and joinery. There are a number of covenants on the development to ensure that the consistent quality and ambience are retained. The exterior of the house is part stone and part timber-clad with natural wood windows and doors. The interior incorporates natural wood throughout with oak-framed double-glazed windows, internal doors in sycamore and wooden floors to the majority of rooms.

A wooden entrance door with glazed side panel opens into a welcoming entrance hall with wooden floor which continues to the dining room offering plenty of space for a large dining table and chairs. To the side is a cloakroom with W.C., basin and plumbing for appliances. A wide archway leads to the kitchen/breakfast room which is fitted with an excellent bespoke range of base and wall cupboards commissioned by the present owners from Quails of Usk, renowned for their quality and craftsmanship, with additional full height double larder cupboards. The kitchen has a range-style cooker, built-in fridge/freezer, wine fridge, a small breakfast bar and French doors to the garden. A further archway leads down to a splendid double height sitting room with vaulted ceiling, wooden floor, arched double doors to the garden and fireplace with a cream woodburning stove effect electric fire. The sitting room features an impressive library, also handmade from English ash by Quails of Usk, which extends to double storey height with integral lighting and sliding ladder. A contemporary oak and glass staircase rises to a very attractive mezzanine gallery with built-in shelving, ideal for use as a snug/TV room or space for quiet reflection with a good book. Both the staircase and shelving are by Neville Johnson, renowned for stylish, high quality, bespoke furniture design.
