- Attached converted barn: 43' split-level function room, guest bedroom and bathroom
- About 0.8 acres of part-walled gardens, private valley views

Set in the Brecon Beacons National Park and overlooking the Usk valley, this imposing Grade II listed house offers over 6,000 sq ft of flexible family accommodation across three storeys plus a cellar. Period features and well-proportioned rooms give the house strong character, while large windows and a conservatory-style extension bring abundant daylight and rural views into the living spaces.
An attached converted barn creates a striking 43' split-level function room with a guest bedroom and bathroom, useful for family gatherings, home office use, or holiday-let potential (subject to consents). The part-walled gardens extend to about 0.8 acres, providing private outdoor space, mature planting and a double garage for parking and storage.
Practical realities are clear: as a listed building there will be restrictions and potential extra costs for alterations and maintenance. The stone walls appear to have no modern insulation, glazing was installed before 2002, and the heating runs mainly from a wood-pellet boiler and radiators — buyers should expect works to improve thermal performance and possibly update services. Council tax is very expensive, and the hamlet setting is remote with average mobile signal and few immediate amenities.
For a family seeking a substantial period home with extensive grounds and dramatic valley views, this property is a rare opportunity. It suits buyers who value historic character and space and who accept the listed-status responsibilities and investment needed to upgrade energy efficiency and modern conveniences.
