We’re absolutely delighted to share some incredible news — Carly, who covers Knighton, Presteigne and Kington, has been awarded Joint Gold for Female Estate Agent in Wales.
“Certainly a proud moment, a brilliant evening surrounded by so many like-minded professionals with a shared passion for the industry.”

The past couple of weeks have been tough.
Chains under pressure.
Deadlines tight.
Plenty of moving parts.
But while things have felt intense, Julie our Sales Negotiator has been quietly holding it all together.
Constant updates
Reassuring vendors
Keeping chains intact
Solving problems before they become disasters
And the results?
Over the last two weeks alone she’s received:
A box of chocolates
Two beautiful bunches of flowers
And a bottle of something to celebrate
That’s not luck. That’s trust.
It’s a reflection of the care and persistence she puts into every transaction – Well done Julie.
From the rest of us here at Brecon, we’re proud to have you on the team.
Join us at The Salwey Arms, Wooferton, Ludlow.

There’s something quietly powerful about historic architecture. Not just the way it looks, but the way it feels.
These buildings weren’t designed to impress at speed. They invite you to slow down—notice the hand-cut stone, the uneven glass, the worn thresholds shaped by centuries of footsteps. Every detail carries memory, craft, and human touch.
What makes places like this truly special is how the old continues to live alongside the new. Modern life moves through medieval arches. Contemporary warmth glows behind ancient walls. Time layers itself rather than erasing what came before.
In a world that often favours the shiny and disposable, historic architecture reminds us that character is built over time—and that the past still has so much to offer the present.
Old meets new. And both are richer for it.
