Breconshire / Where is this photo? Gilwern/Crickhowell/Govilon??

Hi
I'm new to this forum and I know I'm going to spend hours and hours looking through all the messages!
When my grandmother died, I inherited a lot of photos from her. I've been working hard at tracing my family tree but on my maternal side it stops with her parents as his name was John Evans and I can't get beyond that as the name is so common and I don't have a marriage certificate to help go back further. Anyway, the attached is one of the photos in which the gamekeeper in the middle was her grandfather. I'd be interested if anyone may be able to identify the location of the photo and maybe even tell me who the 'gentlemen' are.
My grandmother lived in Govilon and Gilwern all her life and I would think that this manor house would be around there, possibly Crickhowell/Glangrwney (excuse spelling!).
