Buyers are advised that all such aspects related to the wedding business have now ceased at Porth Mawr House following the retirement of the owner who resides in the mansion house and, as a gesture of goodwill, the owner will accept a restrictive covenant to be placed on his home as a condition of the sale to prevent the use of the property as a wedding venue in perpetuity.

INTRODUCTION
Dating from about 1824 and sitting in attractive part walled landscaped gardens with a broad westerly sun terrace with the Brecon Beacons in the distance and affording fine views towards Mynydd Llangatwg, the Darren and at the foot of the Black Mountains, featuring Crug Hywel, from which the town is named. This substantial stone property is arranged over three floors and has been meticulously converted by the owner's award winning architectural company, who have diligently retained the external historical charm, character and original fenestration of the building and complemented it beautifully with an appealing internal design and configuration. Harmoniously blending old and new, the stylish interior has been enhanced by a plethora of modern upgrades including Travertine marble flooring, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, solid wood doors, zonal underfloor heating, three phase power supply to certain rooms, and the seven bedrooms are all serviced by four bath / shower rooms with the potential to add more if so desired. This light filled home has horizontal sliding sash windows which were purpose made for the property, copying the original gentry style of the coach house.For those working from home, this residence boasts a large two storey office / bedroom accommodation with separate access from the main house as well as a games / garage complex which could serve as a gym or given its exposed stone walling, A-frame oak roof trusses and wide doors opening into the garden, the space could equally be used as a garden room too, subject to consent.

SITUATION
Winner of the Best High Street in Britain, Crickhowell is a small yet thriving town set amongst the stunning scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park alongside the banks of the River Usk. Crickhowell is highly regarded amongst the walking community and is a haven for both home seekers and tourists alike. The town is famed for its family run and independent businesses including several grocers, a butcher, a delicatessen, a baker, Wales's first zero waste shop, and a newsagent/post office. In addition, there are several individual boutiques, cafes, a book shop which attracts famous authors to its doors, and a florist, plus of course Cric, the tourist information and resource archive centre. Crickhowell also benefits from dentist surgeries, a health centre, a garage, and the iconic Webbs hardware store. There are numerous public houses, gastro pubs and restaurants, and no description of Crickhowell would be complete without mentioning The Bear which has been serving customers since 1432 and stands in a prominent position at the head of the high street, in the centre of this bustling town. The area is also well served for schools for all ages, both of which are fêted in both the local area and further afield too. As well as being for the young, Crickhowell enjoys an active older community with the local U3A boasting 390 members. For more comprehensive shopping and leisure facilities, the historic market town of Abergavenny is just 7 miles away and offers a wide selection of boutique style shops, grocery and newsagent stores, supermarkets and many well-known high street shops, including a large Waitrose. Abergavenny also hosts a market several times a week. The town has its own cinema and leisure centre as well as several eateries for evening entertainment. The railway station has regular services into central London via Newport, with good road links giving access to the motorway for Bristol, Birmingham, the South West and London and "A" routes for Monmouth, Hereford, Cwmbran and Cardiff.
