8 bed detached house for sale

Llanwysg House And The Coach House, Llangattock, Crickhowell, Powys NP8

Quote Reference GP608630 - Approached through private, secure electric gates and via a long, sweeping driveway, this private yet commanding oasis will take your breath away. It contains two separate dwellings: A substantial four-level period home and a three-bedroom, two-bath Coach House.

The main property is listed as Grade II* and dates back to the late 1700s when John Nash built it for Admiral Gell, a close friend of Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton, who are believed to have visited in 1802.

The house boasts exceptional interiors and a host of period features, including high ceilings with decorative coving and plasterwork, panelled doors, and shuttered windows. It was remodelled circa 1850s, which included the addition of an Italianate-style front conservatory porch.

This vast home's principal rooms are on the ground and first floors, with former servant's accommodation on the second floor. A lower ground floor provides storage, boiler, and utility rooms, along with the possibility of a self-contained apartment or office suite, or to be designed with your preference in mind.

The very welcoming three-bedroom detached Coach House at the start of the driveway provides additional accommodation for a housekeeper/gardener or airbnb or family/guests. The splendid, independent property dates to a similar period as the house with several original features, including exposed timbers, stonewalls and countryside views from every aspect.

The Coach House was used as a holiday let and has the additional benefit of its private garden, a large gravel area perfect for entertaining, alfresco dining, or enjoying a glass of wine in the evening sun. A further lawned area, which descends with river views and the added benefit of parking to the front, completes this desirable and character home.

Llanwysg House occupies circa 3 acres (subject to confirmation), including the long, sweeping driveway approached through level lawn gardens, well-stocked mature shrub beds, and a private woodland which enjoys annual and perennial flowers and an abundance of bluebells set in amongst the original estate icehouse structure.

This inspiring property is within walking distance of the Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal, with its established towpath, perfect for walking or cycling while enjoying the scenery and peaceful surroundings.

The property is located one mile from the High Street of Crickhowell's highly regarded market town, within the Brecon Beacons National Park. It is also within 6 miles of the market town of Abergavenny and has excellent communication road and rail networks linking to Cardiff and Bristol.
