About this property
Sleeping three guests across two bedrooms, this Grade II listed cottage once played a key part in local trade history having acted as the toll point for the limestone and slate being transported down from the mountains. Choose from an array of exciting trails leading directly from your doorstep or stroll along the towpath of the Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal to reach the pretty village, which boasts two welcoming pubs to tempt the hungry traveller. Beneath the stone and timber exterior is a cosy and inviting haven, carefully finished with comfortable furniture and bright, fresh decor. Laid out in a reverse level fashion, the first floor is home to the kitchen, sitting/dining room and bathroom with shower and WC, and the original very steep, stone, carpeted winding steps, with a metal banister rail and a rope banister, lead down to the two bedrooms. Rustic details such as oak beams, arched windows, and white washed stone walls feature throughout, especially in the living area, which is kept pleasingly warm with a crackling wood burner. Prepare delicious meals in the cheerful kitchen, gathering around the dining table or dine on the wooden terrace which overlooks the canal. Refresh yourself with an invigorating shower in the bathroom before descending to the pretty bedrooms. The single has French doors leading to a gravelled terrace, and the double bedroom is accessed via a pine arched door interlinking the two rooms. Either terrace is perfect for relaxing with a morning coffee or hearty breakfast as you take in the views, or watch the narrowboats pass by on the adjacent canal. Please note due to the very steep steps that lead to the bedroom, this property would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. The bottom garden / gravelled terrace is unsuitable for small children as there is a sheer drop down the canal bank of 20 feet. Need to know: 2 bedrooms 1 double and 1 single. 1 shower room with WC.
