Historic Battle cottage with mountain views goes to auction

An idyllic turn-of-the-century stone-built Powys cottage dating back to 1915, with mountain views to die for, could make a wonderful family home.

Sympathetically modernised to retain its historic feel, 2 Beacon View, in the hamlet of Battle near Brecon, is for sale through Paul Fosh Auctions.

The two double-bedroom cottage is listed for sale with a guide price of £175,000.

Sean Roper, of Paul Fosh Auctions, said: “Beacon View really does present a rare opportunity to acquire a character, semi-detached cottage with absolutely stunning views across the Brecon Beacons.

“The property, which was built c.1915, has many attractive features throughout.

“The statuesque, Grade II-listed cottage has most recently been used as a holiday let but would equally suit a homeowner looking for a property situated in a stunning rural hamlet yet only four miles from the bustling market town of Brecon.

“The property benefits from an attractive fitted kitchen with appliances, fitted white bathroom and feature fireplace with a wood-burning stove.

“On the ground floor is the entrance porch, lounge, kitchen/dining room, utility/storage space and above that are the two double bedrooms and the bathroom. There are gardens to the front and side with an enclosed rear garden and access to a shared car park.

“Battle is just four miles from the wealth of facilities, amenities and shops in Brecon and is ideal for those wishing to enjoy the national park with its stunning mountains and countryside.

“There are also good access links to Cardiff, Swansea and Hereford, with the nearest train station in Abergavenny, which is 20 miles away.”

The next Paul Fosh Auctions sale, when this property and some 120 other varied lots will be on offer for sale online, starts at 12 noon on Tuesday, July 28 and ends from 2pm on Thursday, July 30.
