Grade II listed — alterations subject to listed-building controls
Compact 614 sq ft; multi-storey layout, suitable for first-time buyers
Private courtyard plus small stone outbuilding with cobbled floor
Short walk to Crickhowell town centre and National Park access

Area shows signs of local deprivation despite low crime rates
This recently and sensitively renovated Grade II listed cottage pairs period character with modern comfort. Flagstone floors, timber panelling and traditional sash windows have been retained while services and finishes have been updated for everyday use.
At about 614 sq ft the house is compact and arranged over multiple storeys, making it well suited to first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a central Crickhowell base. A private courtyard and small stone outbuilding provide useful outdoor space and storage in a conservation-area setting.
Buyers should note the listing status: repairs, alterations or extensions will be subject to listed-building controls and may cause delays or additional cost. The stone walls are assumed to lack insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so further thermal improvements may be needed to optimise energy efficiency.
Location is a genuine asset — a short walk to Crickhowell’s shops, cafes and services and immediate access to the Brecon Beacons for countryside recreation. Practical advantages include mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, with low local crime and affordable council tax.
