Hengwaithdy, The Old Workhouse

 

Crickhowell

 

 

Hengwaithdy is a large Victorian house with a tremendous history.  The house was built with Welsh stone and dates from the 19th Century, when it was the Master’s House for the Crickhowell Union Workhouse.  

 

This was where the very poorest people in the community were sent when they had nowhere to live.  Neighbouring properties were once the Chapel, the Infirmary and the Laundry, amongst others.

 

Now the area is very sought after, with the buildings converted to beautiful properties.

 

Set on a wooded hillside called the Dardy, there are superb views over Crickhowell, the Usk Valley, Table Mountain and Sugar Loaf.  The Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal runs just below the property and is easily accessible.

 

The present owners, who live at the property,

have imaginatively converted one floor of the

building to a spacious apartment for letting.  

 

Self-contained, with it’s own private entrance, the accommodation is a comfortable mix of modern and traditional styles.  A spacious, open-plan design provides contemporary kitchen, lounge and dining facilities.  

 

With an adjacent shower room and the unique intimacy of the cellar bedroom, the apartment is the perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy the delights of the area.

 

The accommodation is suitable for two adults and a baby or young child could share the bedroom (cot or fold-up bed supplied if required).

 

Outside, you have access to your own patio area, from which to enjoy the wonderful views.

 

The property has digital TV, radio, DVD and CD players.

 

It is non-smoking and sorry we do not take pets here (although we do at the other properties).

 

Bed linen and towels are provided, light and heating are inclusive and there is off-street parking for one car.

 

There are excellent local facilities - shops, restaurants and pubs - in Crickhowell and the surrounding area.  

 

With the Llangattock Escarpment just behind, Hengwaithdy is an ideal base for touring, walking, cycling and other outdoor activities in the National Park.
