Outside

The outstanding feature of this property is its position overlooking the river Grwyne, a tributary of the Usk with trout all year and the occasional salmon to be seen attempting to negotiate the waterfall. The grounds extend to approximately one acre but have been landscaped to minimise maintenance and feature numerous patios affording places to sit at all times of the day and in all seasons. There is profusion of mature shrubs and trees, small formal grassed areas and a timber pergola overlooking the river. The lower garden has steps leading down to the river and a hexagonal summerhouse based on a large Welsh slate aggregate area. To the northern end of the garden there is a timber garden shed with three raised vegetable beds and a large area of sloping wild grassland. There are also private steps leading up to the roadside.

The property is approached via a private tarmac drive which leads into a large tarmac area with space to park several cars.
