Savills Cardiff 12 Windsor Place, Cardiff, CF10 3BY [email protected] 02920 368930 RP113090 Situation Forge House is situated within the quiet and sought after hamlet of Glangwryney which nestles in the Brecon Beacons National Park, between the ancient market towns of Abergavenny and Crickhowell. The cities of Cardiff and Bristol each lie within approximately 40 miles.
Description Forge House is a charming house of great character. Originally a farmhouse of late 17th century or possibly early 18th century, a new villa front was added in 1810 for the manager of nearby Glangrwyney Forge. Classically Georgian, the villa is stylistically influenced by John Nash and is said to have been built with materials discarded at the rebuilding of nearby Cwrt y Gollen. On the market for the first time in half a century, this is an excellent opportunity.
Approaching Forge House along the length of its driveway, the front façade with its tall, arched Georgian sash windows emerges, framed by the carefully planted gardens in which it stands.
The accommodation is approached from a central hall, with the principal reception rooms sited within the front of the house. The drawing room is central, featuring a wide bay window boasting three round arched picture windows which command views over the picturesque gardens and a central door opening out to the terrace. The dining room alongside also has two of these striking windows flooding it with light and this, along with the drawing room, has a classically tall ceiling.
The third reception room is situated on the lower ground floor looking out across the surrounding garden towards the tennis court. A study meanwhile back on the ground floor also commands sideward views.
There are a total of five bedrooms, although given the versatility of the layout, each of these could enjoy alternative uses. Two bedrooms are on the ground floor, including the master bedroom which features a dressing room and shower room en-suite. Two bedrooms are on the lower ground floor and one at first floor level.
There is a great deal of amenity space within the house including a boiler room and an excellent cellar with barrel vaulted ceiling. In addition, outside there is a two storey detached coach house providing excellent storage but equally providing tremendous scope for conversion for alternative uses such as home office or Exiting the M4 motorway in Newport, take the A4042 north granny annexe, subject to the necessary planning permission. to Abergavenny.
