Description
Enjoying an elevated position on the edge of Gilwern, Hillside Cottage offers a wonderful opportunity for anyone looking for space, countryside views and room to enjoy the outdoors.
With attractive gardens, a paddock, useful outbuildings and a separate one-acre field, it's ideal for those wanting to keep animals, pursue hobbies or simply enjoy a more rural lifestyle.
The well-maintained accommodation is spacious and versatile, comprising two reception rooms, a modern fitted kitchen, conservatory, two ground floor bedrooms and shower room. Upstairs are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside is a real feature, with established gardens enjoying wonderful views towards the Sugar Loaf and surrounding countryside. A generous hardstanding area provides plenty of parking and access to a stable/workshop, open barn and paddock, offering excellent space for storage, hobbies or animals.
A further one-acre field is situated a short drive away. Adding to its appeal, the property has previously benefited from planning permission for additional dwellings within the grounds. Although this has now lapsed, it highlights the potential for future development, subject to the necessary consents.
Conveniently situated on the edge of Gilwern, Hillside Cottage benefits from great transport links whilst still enjoying the benefits of the countryside. The historic market town of Abergavenny is affectionately known as The Gateway to Wales, with the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park on your doorstep. The town has a range of local amenities such as independent shops, supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, a theatre, cinema, general hospital, primary and secondary schools and a mainline train station. A celebrated annual food festival entices national and international visitors every September, together with cycling, walking, music and art events throughout the year. The town and surrounding area is well known for its renowned gastropubs and restaurants. The town has good road links towards Hereford, Brecon, Swansea, Bristol, Newport and Cardiff via A465, A40 and A4042 trunk roads.

Flood Risk
Natural Resources Wales open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
