Situation and Description
The delightful village of Longtown lies on the edge of the Black Mountains, which themselves are part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The whole area is renowned for its natural beauty and is hugely popular with walkers and those who enjoy outdoor pursuits. The village has a thriving community and includes a popular primary school, award winning shop, village hall and pub. There are further facilities at Ewyas Harold, including a doctor’s surgery, with more extensive facilities at the market towns of Abergavenny and Hay on Wye, as well as the cathedral city of Hereford.
This well-built house lies in the heart of the village within a stone’s throw of the ruins of Longtown castle. Originally built for the local schoolmaster this delightful property is now a very individual private home, which offers comfortable living space throughout which is well equipped and offers double glazing, central heating and a lovely kitchen breakfast room with all the usual fittings. Although modernised the house still retains a number of period features, making this a lovely home. The house is also chain free and viewing is highly recommended.
On arrival, a front door leads into a welcoming entrance hall and then to a spacious sitting room with shuttered bay windows to the front, a fireplace with fitted wood burner for those colder evenings, useful storage and display cupboards and fitted radiators. A separate living or dining room also lies at the front of the house and has wooden flooring an open fireplace with a
Georgian style surround, fitted cupboards and bookcases and shuttered windows on two sides. The kitchen then lies at the rear of School House and opens into the garden room making it ideal for entertaining or just enjoying a morning coffee. Well-appointed throughout there are a good range of cupboards and drawers, excellent Corian worktop space with a breakfast bar and a number of appliances including a Neff oven and 4-ring hob with extractor over, a built-in fridge, warming drawer and one and a half bowl sink. The garden room is then a lovely space which is full of light, with double glazed windows on three sides, a vaulted ceiling and glazed doors to the gardens. The ground floor space is then supported by a useful utility room and ground floor cloakroom.
From the entrance hall a fully carpeted staircase leads up to the first-floor landing with windows at either end and useful fitted double cupboards.
