Garage courts and yards we are looking for in Brecon
Garage courts tucked behind homes in Brecon are often ideal for a small number of new houses or bungalows. Sitting about 20 miles south of Llandrindod Wells, Brecon is within Powys, with Brynmawr and Tredegar close by.

- Parking courts behind houses
- Small service yards and compounds
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
Powys is a large and sparsely populated county with market towns such as Newtown, Welshpool, Brecon, Llandrindod Wells, Builth Wells and Ystradgynlais and many small villages. There is no green belt, and Bannau Brycheiniog National Park covers much of the south. Phosphate limits in the Wye and Usk river catchments have restricted new housing in large parts of the county, making drainage the first question for many sites.

Garage courts and yards in Brecon: common questions
How many homes could fit?
It depends on the size and shape of the court and its access; small courts may take one or two homes, larger ones more.
Do you buy council or housing association garages?
We are happy to discuss sites with public bodies and housing providers, subject to their own disposal rules.
Can an agent introduce land in Brecon to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
