A Grade II listed two-bedroom terraced cottage set opposite Brecon Cathedral, close to the town centre and Honddu River. The property’s stone frontage and traditional character provide immediate charm and a strong sense of place for someone seeking a period home with easy pedestrian access to shops and amenities.
Arranged over three floors with approximately 691 sq ft, the layout suits a first-time buyer or couple wanting a compact, characterful house. The mid-20th century kitchen and small rooms will suit buyers who appreciate original features but plan modest updating to improve modern comfort and storage.
Buyers should note this is a listed building; alterations will be restricted and may require consents, which can complicate renovations. Heating is by electric storage heaters and external walls are likely uninsulated stone, so upgrading insulation and heating will be important to reduce running costs. The property is offered with no onward chain.
Other practical points: double glazing was installed before 2002, the rear garden is small and accessed via a shared route, and the local area records higher crime and deprivation statistics than average. On the positive side, mobile signal is excellent, broadband is average, and the cottage sits within easy reach of Brecon Beacons National Park for outdoor recreation.
