Agent's Introduction

Of an exceptionally handsome appearance, this attractive residence offers an externally aesthetic pleasing mix of stone and grey painted timber casement windows.

In brief, the property comprises: an entrance hallway; a triple aspect lounge/diner; a bespoke newly fitted contemporary double aspect 19' 8\" kitchen/breakfast room; and a shower room to the ground floor. To the first floor: a split level landing provides access to three double bedrooms; a spacious family bathroom, and a separate W.C.Ty Llwyd was historically successfully let as a holiday cottage and therefore offers discerning buyers the opportunity to purchase the property as an investment or indeed as a second home or primary residence to suit buyers' preferences.

Situation & Local Amenities
One of the main features of Ty Llwyd is its location. Although rural, the cottage is situated in a hamlet of four other houses. The Village of Llanthony is often written about in tourist guides as being a place of magical beauty, steeped in history and religion and the area is particularly renowned for the historic Llanthony Abbey and ruins. The area is regarded as a walker's paradise with pathways leading to Offa's Dyke plus two public houses serving real ales. Another attraction is pony trekking which is undertaken in the surrounding hillside. The neighbouring villages of Pandy and Llanvihangel Crucorney provide local essential shopping facilities and a garage. For more comprehensive shopping, transport and leisure activities, Llanthony is equidistant between Abergavenny and the literary book town of Hay on Wye which are both approximately 11 miles away. Hay is approached over the Gospel Pass and hosts an annual world famous literary festival. There are also a number of restaurants and a cinema for evening entertainment. Amenities in Abergavenny include boutique style shops, delicatessens, grocery and newsagent stores, supermarkets and many well-known High Street shops. There is a Waitrose supermarket in the town which offers an on-line home delivery service, in line with other supermarkets. Abergavenny also has a market several times a week and hosts a very popular annual food festival. The town has its own cinema and leisure centre as well as a number of eateries.
