Once a dairy farm, the transformation of the original dwelling into this wonderful family home is the result of the vision and determination of its owners. Ian and Jan, and it has been their much treasured home for the past thirty five years. “With five young children, our original brief was both ambitious and exacting. Working closely with our architect, our aim was to design a home that balanced generous shared spaces with areas for privacy, relaxation and individuality. Over the years our house has been continually upgraded, tweaked, extended and enhanced to meet the changing needs of family life.” “Among the many of the significant improvements we have completed, was the replacement and enlargement of the original conservatory, resulting in a spacious and comfortable family room. This has become the heart of our home, particularly for large gatherings of friends and family. Plus, it has taken on even greater importance in recent years since the arrival of grandchildren as our family numbers have increased. The kitchen has always been a priority and is designed as a truly sociable space. When the doors are thrown open, it offers a superb indoor/outdoor living experience, perfect for entertaining and everyday family life.” “Further thoughtful innovations included the demolition of old stables to create a much-loved cinema room along with a master bedroom suite, complete with dressing room. An independent living space was also created, providing flexibility for extended family members.” “The external spaces have also received  much attention. The grounds offer extensive open areas which have hosted countless celebrations over the years. One particular, delightful, event was a wedding reception for one our children when a large marquee was adjoined to the rear of the house and helped to generate a truly memorable occasion. In addition, with no light pollution, our location offers exceptional stargazing – an enduring delight for one of our grandchildren.” “This has been a truly special home in an incredible location, one filled with memories and milestones. As the time has come to move on, we sincerely wish the new custodians as much happiness and contentment as we have enjoyed throughout the years.”

The present owner, Kate, recalls how she and her husband first discovered the rather run down barn and saw its potential as a superb family home. They lovingly brought the barn back into the twenty first century, and work included redecorating throughout, converting the garage into a games and garden room, alongside the addition of a new garage.

A covered outdoor spot provides the perfect spot for al fresco dining whether enjoying a quiet time with a book or hosting friends on quiet summer evenings.  A gate leads into the three adjoining paddocks, currently used by a farmer for grazing his cattle, but has also served as a landing spot for a helicopter, highlighting the flexibility and appeal of the property. Old Gunter’s Barn is only five minutes from community minded Caerwent village which offers a pub and post office, and the remains of an ancient Roman forum and temple. Steeped in history, and three miles away, the town of Caldicot has a castle, leisure centre and costal walking paths whilst Chepstow and Newport are easily accessible for shopping, restaurants and commuting. Monmouthshire is renowned for its beautiful landscapes, rivers, and scenic coastal path and countryside walks. Kate says Old Gunter’s Barn has given the family twelve very happy years, but the time has come to downsize and she knows that the barn will bring the next owners the same peaceful lifestyle and sense of belonging.
