A rare opportunity to purchase a hidden gem on sought-after Camden Road. This spacious and elegant detached house offers unusually spacious accommodation over 3 floors to include 5 double bedrooms and 3 reception rooms. Occupying a private corner position just a short walk from the town centre with private gardens and off-road parking.

Description    Nestled on the sought-after Camden Road, Cae Prior stands as a spacious and refined detached residence, encompassing approximately 422 square meters (over 4,500 square feet). The core of the house, marked by its substantial stone walls, dates back around 400 years, originally serving as a farmhouse for the nearby priory, now Brecon Cathedral. Early maps depict the residence surrounded by its fields, with the remnants preserved in Cae Prior Fields above Camden Crescent.

A late Victorian extension bestowed upon the house the elegant proportions characteristic of that era with further changes made during the 1980's. Throughout these enhancements, the original thick stone walls were preserved and exposed, creating a captivating ambiance in the entrance hall and the family room, where a sizable chimney breast stands as a testament to the home's historic roots.

.    In the course of these renovations, an old floor was revealed beneath the staircase, covered in straw and believed to predate the Victorian extension. Thought to have served as a dairy or animal stall, these substantial stone slabs now grace the floor of the verandah beside the drawing room. Cae Prior is a unique blend of historic charm and carefully curated expansions, offering a distinctive character that spans centuries.

This delightful, historic property offers unusually spacious accommodation over 3 floors to include 5 double bedrooms, 2 family bathrooms plus an ensuite to one of the bedrooms, 3 reception rooms, guest cloakroom, fitted kitchen, separate utility room and integral double
garage.
