Location
Llanbedr is located at the gateway to the Brecon Beacons National Park, which is one of the most scenic and desirable locations in Southeast Wales. Located approximately 7 miles east of Llanbedr is Abergavenny, which has gained national recognition for its festivals and strong local economy. Abergavenny is renowned for its independent shops and its historically rich background. The thriving market town of Crickhowell is approximately 2 miles to the south west of Llanbedr and benefits from a high-quality rural environment with a strong community.

Llanbedr benefits from excellent transport links to the rest of Wales and into England. The A465 Heads of the Valleys Road is located c. 7 miles to the east and provides a fast link with Swansea and west Wales in the west and Hereford and into England in the east following the recent completion of the £2bn upgrade works. Abergavenny train station provides direct rail services to Cardiff, Newport, and further afield to London Paddington, with journey times of approximately 40 minutes to Cardiff and under 2 hours to London, providing quick and easy national connectivity.

We are seeking bids for the freehold interest and are inviting offers by way of an informal tender and request that bids are submitted no later than 12pm on Wednesday 10th of September 2025. The Vendor reserves the right not to accept the highest or indeed any bid.
