Located part way up the Blorenge Mountain, above the village of Llanellen, the cottage is accessed via country lanes leading to a single track road. Immediately adjoining the cottage is the garden and beyond, mountain land which has been partly worked by the present and previous owners with grazing for livestock, space for chickens and other poultry and generally enjoying the land. Subject to any necessary planning consents, the land could be used for leisure purposes, for example glamping.
The land offers a natural mountain landscape with panoramic, far reaching spectacular views across the surrounding hills and valleys, and includes a stream with waterfall. Whether used for grazing, walking, wildlife watching or simply appreciating the scenery, the grounds offer an exceptional rural setting.

Together, the cottage, land and barn form a wonderful versatile rural small holding with scope for enhancement.
