Property description

Sitting in extensive woodland gardens of just under 1/3 of an acre in the very heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park and affording magnificent views across the historic Clydach Gorge towards the Sugar Loaf and the Hafod, is this two double bedroomed semi-detached period cottage enjoying a new kitchen and bathroom suite and offering enormous potential for further improvement and re-design.

Agent's Introduction
This comfortable period cottage sits in a woodland garden of just under 1/3 of an acre and enjoys simply stunning views over the Hafod, the Sugar Loaf and across the valley towards Gilwern Hill. The cottage has been the subject of recent improvement works but would benefit from further investment and enhancement.
