A stunning Georgian mansion that sprawls over 18 acres of the Brecon Beacons national park in Wales has gone on the market for £2million.
The Grade II listed property is offering buyers a secluded escape from the rat race with its own path leading to the foot of the Sugarloaf Mountain beauty spot in Monmouthshire – for the same price as a one-bedroom flat in an affluent area of London.
The property is situated in Glangrwyney Court, close to the town of Crickhowell and includes a walled garden, its own croquet lawn and tennis court.
The 10 bedroom property – known as Regency House – is a three-hour drive from London and comes with outbuildings such as garages, a wood store, a tractor shed, and a summerhouse and a log cabin.
