Step Inside From the moment you arrive, the sense of care, quality, and thoughtful design is immediately apparent. A traditional stone-pillared entrance opens to a sweeping driveway, creating a striking first impression and setting the tone for what lies beyond. Internally, the accommodation flows beautifully, combining elegant period proportions with carefully considered modern enhancements. The principal reception rooms include a refined drawing room and formal dining room, both offering generous proportions ideal for entertaining or relaxed everyday living. In addition, the property offers a series of versatile and intimate spaces including a snug, a bright garden room, and a dedicated study, each designed to provide moments of quiet retreat. The reimagined cellar rooms further enhance the home’s flexibility, demonstrating a thoughtful approach to modern family living. At the heart of the home lies the kitchen and breakfast room, centred around a traditional AGA, creating a warm and welcoming focal point. The adjoining garden room is particularly impressive, filled with natural light and offering uninterrupted views across the surrounding grounds. Practicality is well considered throughout, with a useful boot room and secondary driveway access ensuring ease of day-to-day living. To the first floor, a generous landing leads to five well-proportioned double bedrooms and three bathrooms. Each bedroom enjoys delightful views across the surrounding countryside, reinforcing the home’s strong connection to its exceptional setting. Step Outside The grounds are a defining feature of this outstanding home. Extending to approximately 4.82 acres, they have been beautifully landscaped to create a series of interwoven outdoor spaces. Formal gardens sit to the rear and side of the property, filled with mature trees, established borders, and seasonal planting. A former kitchen garden has been thoughtfully reimagined as a productive cut-flower garden, while beyond lies a natural wildflower meadow that gently merges into the paddock land. The sense of privacy is exceptional, with the grounds designed to offer both structure and natural beauty in equal measure. The setting is further enhanced by its position opposite the Norman church, adding a unique historic backdrop. A converted coach house provides an additional highlight, offering a luxurious and versatile space ideal for guests, leisure, or ancillary use, finished to an impressive standard throughout. Parking is well catered for via the main driveway. Sellers Insight Nestled within a generous parcel of land in the charming village of Penyclawdd, this impressive, majestic, family home enjoys an enviable position between the vibrant market towns of Monmouth and Abergavenny. Surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of the Black Mountains and its surroundings, The Old Vicarage is a truly special property that has been a much loved family home for John and Olivia. “When we were relocating to this beautiful part of Wales, we had a very clear vison of what we were seeking; a spacious home, full of character, ideally situated for both family life and our daughters’ schooling. We rented whilst we searched until, one day, we were introduced to The Old Vicarage. It had not yet come onto the property market so could only view from the outside. However, even before crossings its threshold, we instinctively knew this would be our perfect home – and it has proven to be exactly that.” “Our house offers an exceptional sense of space, paired with a natural elegance throughout. High ceilings, large windows and beautifully proportioned rooms create a light and welcoming atmosphere, whilst its timeless character allowed our furniture to blend seamlessly into our home. The generous and highly practical accommodation has perfectly suited our family life, whilst also offering ample space for entertaining friends and family. A particular favourite is our garden room, where panoramic views across the surrounding countryside provide a spectacular backdrop throughout the changing seasons. Outside, the beautifully arranged spaces for dining and relaxation make the most of the stunning setting and have been endlessly enjoyed” “Within the grounds sits an old coach house, which we have thoughtfully and imaginatively converted into a peaceful, stylish, retreat and here Olivia has created an independent studio and holistic centre – a wonderfully tranquil and versatile addition to the property.” “Despite its idyllic seclusion, everything needed for modern life is within easy reach. Wonderful walks begin directly from the doorstep, and the surrounding area is ideal for numerous outdoor interests; equestrian pursuits being very popular. The village hall offers a pre-school for under five year olds and also hosts community events. The delightful town of Abergavenny, famous for its annual food festival, is close by, as is historic Monmouth, while excellent transport connections provide convenient access further afield.” “This has been a deeply happy home, filled with treasured memories, but the time has come for our next adventure. Whoever comes to live here will undoubtedly discover the same exceptional quality of life that has made The Old Vicarage, in its brilliant location, such a remarkable place to call home.* AGENTS NOTE The property is set within approximately 4.82 acres.
