This four bedroomed, two bathroom, detached family home is immersed in the centre of Crickhowell’s televillage, a small yet hugely popular community development, sought after for being just moments away from the vibrant Courtyard with its independent gym, yoga studio and cafe plus the internationally famous High Street, stuffed full of independent shops, cafes, and pubs, itself only a short stroll further distant. Praised for its design concepts and engagement with local craftspeople, homes on the development have been constructed using timber frames utilising local materials and this home features oak framed casement windows, hand built kitchen cabinets, wood flooring and panelled doors with latches, in addition to bespoke wall light points made by local potters.

The mezzanine over this room currently does not have a fixed step way but could be suitable for different uses to suit. There are three other bedrooms, all of which have views over the surrounding hillside of the Bannau Brycheiniog or of the development. The bedrooms are served by a contemporary bathroom suite on the first floor in addition to a shower room on the ground floor.
