Wern Cottage is a characterful two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage set over three floors with a useful cellar and scenic views across the Clydach gorge. Chain-free and offered freehold, it sits within the Brecon Beacons National Park and would suit a first-time buyer or holiday-let investor prepared to modernise. The home retains period stone walls and uPVC double glazing but requires updating throughout.
The layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room on the lower ground floor, bathroom, and two double bedrooms with an en-suite WC on the first floor. Night storage/electric heating is fitted and the property currently relies on electricity rather than gas; buyers should note the likely higher running costs and consider heating upgrades. There is no garden, but the cottage’s elevated position provides attractive countryside views.
Practical factors are straightforward: mains water, electric and drainage are present, and the property is council tax band C. The building dates from before 1900 with sandstone/limestone walls that appear uninsulated, so buyers should budget for insulation and possible fabric repairs. Broadband and mobile reception are usable, but check specific provider speeds for your needs.
This home offers solid scope for refurbishment and value-adding improvements — insulating the walls, updating the kitchen and bathroom, and installing modern heating would significantly improve comfort and running costs. It’s well placed for village amenities and access to Abergavenny, but note local services are limited in this small rural community.
