Vendor Insight From the moment we first arrived a t The Granary, it was the sense of calm, space and openness that drew us in. We loved the architecture and the way the house has been developed so sympathetically, creating a home that feels both beautifully considered and wonderfully relaxed. There is a real sense of arrival here, and we have always loved coming home after being away. The Cathedral Barn is perhaps the most breathtaking feature. Its scale and character make it an extraordinary space for entertaining, while the mezzanine has become a favourite family spot, whether we are playing pool at Christmas or simply relaxing with a cocktail. We have celebrated birthdays, hosted cocktail parties and enjoyed huge family Christmases here, with the wood burners going and everyone gathered around the large dining table. It is a truly unique space that our family and friends have loved. In warmer weather, we spend much of our time outside, particularly around the outdoor kitchen, where the views across the valley are wonderful. The garden is surprisingly easy to maintain, with Mediterranean-inspired planting, shrubs, perennials and olive trees creating a sense of privacy and softness, while the field beyond gives uninterrupted views towards the horizon. We have made a number of improvements during our time here, including adding electricity to the barn, repairing its windows and doors, rebuilding a collapsed wall and installing secure gates, an intercom and comprehensive security cameras. We had every intention of staying, but life brings unexpected opportunities. We will miss the house, our lovely neighbours and this remarkable location, with easy access to Tintern, the Wye Valley, the Forest of Dean, the Black Mountains and the market towns of Monmouth and Abergavenny.

The substantial six-bedroom residence is set above a quiet country road in the friendly but spread-out community of Hewelsfield, in the Forest of Dean. Once at the heart of a cider farm, the handsome 200-year-old property sits in lovely, established gardens at the end of a long drive, with its group of majestic Scots Pines providing a local landmark. True to its heritage, its 4.8 Acres of grounds include a productive orchard which keeps the vendor well-supplied with apples for cider, apple juice and apple cake! The Wye Valley's spectacular scenery and wonderful natural environment have inspired generations of artists and creatives, including the vendor, drawn to this particular property some 20 years ago by its pastoral surroundings and abundance of light. My husband and I were both painters. I was captured by the Scots Pines and the view. My husband was looking for light from the north and whilst this house is south-facing, he was able to set up a studio in the large, back, north-facing bedroom. The vendor says the gardens and grounds have also been a joy. She has enjoyed creating and tending her vegetable plot and planning and maintaining the wonderful formal gardens. The property has provided an idyllic country lifestyle, surrounded by an abundance of wildlife and wonderful walks, including the long distance Wye Valley Walk and Offas Dyke National Trail. You are in the heart of nature. There is an incredible sense of quiet and no light pollution. The house is approached along a long gravel driveway, lined with heather and mature shrubs and leading to ample parking. The driveway leads past a lovely area of level lawn, with established borders and an original sundial as a focal point. The attractive formal gardens near the house have been planned for seasonal colour and include large beds retained by natural stone walling. Established trees, shrubs and climbers include hydrangeas, magnolias and wisteria. Behind the house is the orchard - a gently sloping are with mixed fruit trees, leading to bluebell woodland at the top. There is a kitchen garden with a soft fruit area and a small lily pond. A feature of the gardens is a group of towering Scots Pines, which the vendor believes would have been planted as a deliberate landmark. There is a patio used by the annexe, whilst accessed from the kitchen of the main property there is a raised, paved patio. Both take advantage of the breathtaking views and the wonderful natural surroundings. The gardens are south facing and because it is so high up, in the mornings you can sometimes see a layer of cloud over the village and watch it rise up it is captivating. The sun rises and sunsets are also amazing. The grounds extend to about 4.8 acres and included the field across the lane to the front aspect. What3words: ///intend.surveyors.physics

Sellers Insight “Penbwch Isaf Farm has been our home for the past 28 years. What first drew us here was the location. It offered the perfect balance of being wonderfully private and peaceful, yet incredibly well connected and convenient.” “The old milking parlour gave us the opportunity to create office space, which was ideal when we had a young family. We could work from home while still being close to our children.” “One of its most striking features is the conservatory/sun room. When people visit, they simply don’t expect such a spectacular outlook.” “My favourite room is undoubtedly the sun room. It is peaceful, private and filled with natural light. The views are stunning throughout the seasons.” “The garden is large, private and peaceful. I have my vegetable patch and sweet peas, and we are fortunate to share the space with an abundance of wildlife, which we have always encouraged.” “This has also been a wonderful home for entertaining. We have hosted countless parties and celebrations for our children over the years, many of them in the garden. The standout occasion was undoubtedly our daughter’s wedding, where we welcomed 180 guests under a beautiful tipi.” “Although the property enjoys a wonderfully tucked-away position, it is extremely convenient. Two train stations are within ten minutes, with Cardiff city centre just 12 minutes away by train. Everyday amenities are close at hand too, including Marks & Spencer just five minutes away. We are also fortunate to have some excellent local venues nearby, including Llanerch Vineyard and Lanelay Hall Hotel, both of which offer fantastic food.” “We are moving into the converted old milking parlour next door- so we’re really only swapping views. That, perhaps, says everything about how much we love this location. The move is simply about downsizing and embracing a new chapter.” “This farmhouse is approaching 300 years old, and throughout our time here we have felt more like custodians than owners. Now it is time for someone else to enjoy everything it has to offer.”* Directions: W3W///staked.altering.paddlers
