This attractive and generously proportioned four / five bedroomed, detached period cottage dates from about 1800, appearing on the 1840 tithe map when it was two cottages, making the property one of the oldest buildings in the hamlet of Dardy which is just across the river bridge from the pretty market town of Crickhowell in the Bannau Brycheiniog – Brecon Beacons – National Park. Beautifully and sympathetically renovated by the current owners both outside and in, this charming cottage enjoys outstanding long distance views over the Usk Valley towards the Black Mountains beyond and will appeal to buyers seeking a semi-rural idyll that is positioned only a few moments away from shops, schools and countryside walks.

 

The current owners have upgraded the cottage extensively, while retaining some of the original features and providing an attractive landscaped garden. A wall has been removed between the two original ground floor rooms to create the large Lounge / Diner, and a shower room has been added to the ground floor, along with new electrics, plumbing and other improvements. The enhancements have included complete redecoration to a style more like the original: the walls and ceilings would have been limewashed, and the floors would have been timber upstairs and stone flags on the ground floor. So, with a nod to its heritage, the walls are light and neutrally decorated and are contrasted beautifully alongside dark beams, and stone style tiled floors on the ground floor with exposed floorboards on the first floor.

 

The cottage has a spacious, light and airy feel to it as many of the rooms are dual aspect with several windows.  The configuration is both flexible and appealing as there are bath / shower rooms on both floors, making this a good choice for buyers seeking guest or multi-generational spaces in their home.  The four first floor bedrooms are served by a bathroom suite with both a shower and a bath,whilst on the ground floor, a modern shower room with walk-in shower will appeal on your return from a muddy walk or equally provides facilities to the second reception room should this room be utilised as a fifth/guest bedroom or home office. The kitchen / breakfast room features a comprehensive range of cabinets with solid wood work tops and a central island unit and importantly for busy family life, the kitchen has a utility room adjoining it.  Outside, the elevated garden has hillside views from which you can experience both the sunrise and sunset over the valley.
