The Otter Apartment Usk
N.B. To enjoy the video presentation of The Otter Apartment, flip your phone on its side.
The apartment is situated in the main high street in the centre of Usk, surrounded by some fantastic restaurants and shops and also centrally located for some of the most amazing walks or bike rides Wales has to offer.
The building the apartment sits in dates back hundreds of years and is directly opposite the second prison of Usk (Usk Gaol - Bridewell House - which dates back as far as 15th Century)
It is believed the building in which the apartment now stands is if the same period though little is known of its use.
Some say it was used as a place to rest and maybe a house of ill repute.
Many believe the property was once used as a hideout for notorious highwaymen.
They believe they would ‘strike’ when the wealthy rode over the bridge to the left of the apartment.
In the present day, it is used only for people to visit Usk and take in all the glories the beautiful town has to offer.
Over 3 floors, the apartment has a surprisingly large hallway, an original wooden stairs with exposed stone walls surrounding, this leads to the first floor where we have a spacious lounge/dining room and good size kitchen.
The wonderfully characterful door frames and low head height mean you need to ‘mind your head’ when entering.
Another stairs takes us to the next floor with 2 double bedrooms and a good size bathroom.
Oak beams above and original beam work in the walls have take a resemblance of the Tudor period.
