Nestled within beautiful, undulating countryside north of Cardiff this renovated dream home offers an idyllic pocket of peace, hidden away on a dead-end lane. The sprawling, stylish home occupies an enviable location, commutable to the capital yet surrounded by easily accessed, stunning countryside bursting with woodland walks, bike and horse trails, and a popular local pub for refreshments along the way. Through the gates reveals a collection of former farm buildings clustered around a private and characterful courtyard. Pushing open the front door of the main house reveals a stylish and contemporary country home offering impressive high-end, luxury design throughout that includes a designer kitchen by Loxleys London. The main house offers four substantial bedroom suites that ooze luxury, with opulent bathrooms and generous spaces that can accommodate lounge areas too. Outside, the grounds of approximately 0.85 acres are surrounded by stunning and sweeping rural views and multiple places to entertain family and friends, or find solitaire and silence in the shade under a tree. There's ample parking for multiple vehicles which is a big bonus as this rural retreat comes with surely the best party facilities in the area within one of the converted barns that is bound to attract regular visits from family and friends. The party barn includes a lounge bar that feels like you've just arrived at an exclusive country club, plus an impressive home cinema, spa that includes a sauna, steam room and a gym, a games room that can easily accommodate a full-size snooker table, plus a kitchen, so it's not too far to cook up a feast or find some snacks for guests. Step Inside:- - Step inside the former farmhouse within this cluster of incredible buildings and a glamorous and contemporary home awaits, having been lavished with a high-end renovation that has established luxury at its core. The first impression is a breathtaking one, with ground floor dividing walls and separate reception rooms a distant memory, as these former spaces have been combined and given a truly modern makeover. Stepping into this now open-plan space you can see through to the garden via picture windows and French doors and this, coupled with layers of thoughtfully designed lighting including hidden LEDs and shiny surfaces that bounce light around, makes the space feel very light, fresh and contemporary. The central staircase is a thing of beauty; a bespoke glass structure that sweeps its way to the first floor with a flourish. The flooring choice is contemporary too, high shine tiling that flows throughout the whole ground floor, unifying the space. To one side of the stunning staircase is a spacious dining zone that is the perfect place for a lively and enjoyable dinner party or family gathering, with ample space for a substantial dining table and the benefit of a set of French doors to throw open in the summer so the party can seamlessly spill out into the garden. The other side of the staircase is another zone focussed on socialising - a lounge area where two massive sofas effortlessly curve around the attractive feature fireplace, with visually pleasing symmetry achieved via a large floor-to-ceiling window either side of the flames. It's a space where winter months are warmed by the fire and summer time sees sunshine and garden views flood in through the picture windows, it's a space that will always be popular for gatherings, whatever the time of day or year. A more intimate reception space awaits off this impressive open-plan area, but it can still happily welcome a huge, squishy sofa for family and friends to sink into together, plus its own set of French doors so garden views and summer breezes can join the group gathering. There's a study at the rear of the house on the way to find the kitchen and it is a perfect place for work, with built-in carpentry promoting perfect organisation of work, and there's even space for yet another good sized sofa. Into the kitchen and the luxury fixtures and fittings continue with the discovery of a high-end, Edwin Loxley of London designer kitchen packed with integrated appliances and connected to the dining area via a set of steps. The cook can be joined for a chat and maybe a few taste tests either at the integrated island unit breakfast bar or in the dining area that includes a sizeable wine fridge. With the bifold doors open in the warmer weather, it's the perfect kitchen diner to cook up a feast connected directly and seamlessly to the garden. Additional accommodation on the ground floor includes a utility space and cloakroom, before the stunning glass staircase beckons so the journey of discovery can continue upstairs. The house used to have six bedrooms but with the remodelling of the home came the creative idea to sacrifice two in order to design four fabulous, spacious and distinct bedroom suites. In three of the bedroom suites the ceilings have been removed to create double-height, vaulted spaces full of charm, with the primary boasting exposed roof beams adding character to this substantial space. The ensuite to this largest of the bedrooms is, of course, glamorous and luxurious - and huge. It is an ensuite that is pure pleasure to visit either for a relaxing soak or refreshing shower, and this five-star hotel standard is repeated in the family bathroom where the bath commands most attention thanks to its size and position on an elevated pli.. It feels so luxurious to step up and then step down into the bath and, if accompanied by bubbles, candles and a glass of something refreshing, is a sumptuous experience that can be enjoyed every day at this property and not just when staying at a posh country hotel. Two of the suites have mezzanine bedroom areas with their own staircase which allows space below for lounge areas and even a semi open-plan ensuite as part of the floorplan. But the main house is not the only area of the property that has received a thoughtful and impressive renovation and conversion, one of the barns nestled around the courtyard has been given a new lease of life as surely the best party barn in the area. The barn is so well-equipped there is no need to ever leave the property for entertainment and fun. For the ultimate group fun the main section of the barn is currently dedicated to a games area that can easily accommodate a full-size snooker table and arcade games. Inside this amazing barn there's an impressive home cinema, complete with big, squishy chairs and dimmed lighting that conjures up a magical and intimate atmosphere as the perfect setting for the audience to be totally immersed in the movie. The barn has its own kitchen too, so it's not far to go to drum up some snacks in time for the film or the start of the match. Also found within the barn, that seems bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside, is a sizeable gym with a wall of mirrors to assist the workout, and after a hard session the spa area looks very welcoming, offering a sauna, steam room, walk-in shower and room for a massage table. The perfect end to the health and spa session is surely a cool drink waiting at the bar. As all good country clubs can boast, this private version has an inviting lounge bar area, nestled under the exposed roof beams on a mezzanine level, creating an intimate atmosphere to this most sociable of spaces. Outside - Step outside to explore the 0.85 acres of land that sweeps around the property before it seamlessly flows into panoramic rural views that expand to the horizon. Behind the gates, off the dead-end lane shared only with one other property that is also a bridleway, there's plenty of onsite parking for all the guests that are sure to turn up regularly to attend memorable events in the party barn. The lawns are extensive and expansive, lined by trees and hedgerows and offering the perfect place for outdoor games, football matches, and sun-drenched picnics, but the property can offer more intimate spaces too. There are house-hugging patios and courtyards that cluster around the house all boasting special and enticing places to admire the view, enjoy company with family and friends, and tuck into an alfresco feast. Within the grounds is a bonus that not many homes can offer - a characterful stone building called Long Barn that already has planning in place to be converted into a four-bed dream home, offering onsite multi-generational living if required. The vendors also advise that there is also the potential for 2 one bed, suites (with sitting room/kitchen bathroom and balcony) above the parking for five vehicles. This additional potential to create an extra dream home (with its own title deed) is being sold separately to the main property for Guide Price £375,000. With permission, the newly finessed barn could even be rented out as a holiday let to make the most of the property's perfect location, close to the capital of Wales and yet feeling like a world away, surrounded by a rolling rural landscape with onsite socialising and relaxation at the heart of this unique luxury home.

This beautiful extended four-bedroom cottage enjoys a semi-rural location in prestigious Began Road, on the edge of Old St Mellons, just a 20-minute drive from Cardiff city centre. A much-loved family home, the vendors have tastefully improved and enlarged it, from one of a pair of semi-detached, nineteenth century farmworkers' cottages, part of the Cefn Mably estate. We bought it in 1999 and we have extended it twice since then, once in about 2002 and again in 2008/9. We didn't intend to stay as long as we have, but because it has been such a wonderful, semi-rural location to bring up a family, we ended up enlarging it as we needed more space. It's very quiet, very private and it has a big garden, perfect for football pitches and dens. It is a very social house, with a big kitchen and lots of party space for both adults and children. Cefn View sits in approximately one third of an acre of gardens, in an area which is popular with families, with St John's College independent co-educational day school within walking distance and St Mellons Church in Wales primary school also nearby. The quiet country lanes around the property are ideal for cycling and jogging and there are lovely walks in the area. It's a short stroll to the local pub the Cefn Mably Arms and there is the convenience of a farm shop at Cefn Mably Farm Park, also within walking distance. The area benefits from easy access to the M4, bringing Newport, Cardiff and Bristol within commuting distance and facilitating easy access to London, for those working from home there is the advantage of superfast Broadband. STEP INSIDE:- - The superbly presented accommodation combines traditional cottage charm with contemporary elegance. A lovely, welcoming entrance hallway with a central oak beam and slate flooring opens from a charming, oak framed entrance porch with reclaimed flagstone flooring. The characterful living room, in the original part of the house, has a spectacular brick-built open fireplace with an oak beam over and a reclaimed flagstone hearth, on which there sits a Villager log burning stove. The room has a central, painted beam. A large window overlooks the front of the property and at the rear, a glazed door opens to the dining room. On the wall next to this door, a feature has been made of an old bread oven door. The delightful dining room, part of the initial extension, has traditional flagstone flooring and two pairs of French doors opening to a gorgeous Italian-style rear patio. Natural light floods into the dining room from a Velux window in the roof. It is a light and airy space, a bit like a garden room. From the dining room a door opens to an inner hallway, from which a wooden latch door leads to the stunning kitchen/diner in the newest part of the house. This room can also be accessed directly from the main hallway. The room is filled with natural light from two Velux rooflights, wooden double glazed windows to the front and side (with solid oak windowsills) and French doors. The kitchen is fitted with stylish bespoke hand-made base units painted in Farrow & Ball Worsted, under black granite worktops, incorporating a Belfast sink. There is an electric range-style cooker and an inbuilt dishwasher, plus space for an upright fridge/freezer. Contemporary grey slate tiles have been chosen for the flooring and the room features exposed painted ceiling beams and an open fireplace with an oak beam over and a slate and brick hearth. This houses a Villager wood burning stove. Easily accessible from the kitchen is a utility room with fitted wall and base units, a Belfast sink, grey slate flooring, space and plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. There is also a useful walk-in larder, located off the back of the dining room. A stable door from the inner hallway gives access to the rear patio. Next to the utility room is a shower room and off the main entrance hallway there is a downstairs cloakroom. Stairs rise from the entrance hallway to a landing lit by a sun tunnel and a window to the front elevation. The landing showcases some of the exposed stonework of an original exterior wall. The superb principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and features oak beams. There is a window to the side elevation, with a deep oak window ledge. French doors open to a Juliet balcony which overlooks the back gardens. There is a stylish, modern ensuite bathroom, with a bath with a shower over and a washbasin on a purpose-built tiled pedestal. The three further double bedrooms include one in the original cottage, which has a lovely Victorian wrought iron fireplace. Another has a range of bespoke built-in furniture along one wall and the third is a charming room with a vaulted ceiling, exposed, painted roof trusses and two windows to the side of the house. These bedrooms share an attractive modern family bathroom, with a bath with a hand-held shower and a vanity basin on a wooden vanity unit. Outside - A wooden five bar gate leads from Began Road onto a gravelled area, with parking for at least four cars and giving access to a double garage clad in Welsh larch and with electric doors. To one side of the gravelled area are shrub borders and a feature well, built of reclaimed river stone. There is a log store alongside the garage. The lovely gardens are screened by high hedging, bamboo and large established trees, providing a private space to relax and enjoy the semi-rural surroundings. The gardens have been fenced to make them safe for the vendors' dog. There are views from the front of the property over open fields and from the back, the house looks over nursery greenhouses towards the Cefn Mably estate. Lying to the side of the house is a level lawned area, featuring mature shrubs, such as hydrangeas and a variety of trees, including fruit trees, eucalyptus and several pretty magnolias. The lawn is on the southern side of the house and it is a sunny spot to sit out in the daytime. In the evenings the sun moves round to the back of the house where the courtyard garden is and that makes a sheltered sun trap for a sundowner. The Italian-style, paved courtyard is sheltered by a wooden pergola with wisteria growing over it. It can be accessed from the French doors from the dining room and makes a wonderful outdoor dining and entertaining space.

Nestled in the Monmouthshire countryside in the highly desirable village of Bettws Newydd, overlooking its own grounds and the woodlands of the Usk Valley, sits this magnificent, high quality country property. A rare find, this large five-bedroom home has two spacious and characterful reception rooms, a lovely formal dining room and a farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room that's provided a hub for family life. The property has been lovingly maintained by the vendors for the past 20 years, during which time they have added a stunning Amdega conservatory to take full advantage of the peaceful, private location and the idyllic rural views. The property sits in gardens and grounds of approximately 1.4 acres. It enjoys truly special, neatly-tended, south-facing walled gardens, full of mature shrubs and planted for seasonal colour and there is a paddock of approximately half an acre nearest the house. We were looking for a rural lifestyle and we were attracted by the location, which is close to Usk and Abergavenny, two historic towns which we knew well. It is also commutable to Cardiff, Bristol, Hereford and Cheltenham. Bettws Newydd is a premium village with an ancient church, lovely old pub and one of the oldest yew trees in the country. The vendors were also drawn to the property's historic charm and the way its careful and stylish conversion, some 10 years previously, had seamlessly blended 200-year-old farm buildings with new additions, built using matching reclaimed stone under a welsh slate roof and featuring oak beams, and solid wood doors You are conscious both of a sense of history and of the exceptional build quality. The picturesque Monmouthshire village of Bettws Newydd is about 3.5 miles north of the pretty riverside market town of Usk, where there is a Church in Wales Primary School. It is about 7 miles from the shops, schools and facilities in the larger medieval market town of Abergavenny. The property is also ideally positioned for access to Monmouth (12.8 miles distant). The name of the village means new prayer house in Welsh, as it was founded by the 6th century Irish Saint Aedan of Ferns. The grounds of Lodge Farm adjoin those of the lovely, ancient church of St Aeddan's, which is Grade I listed and where the veteran yews include one of particular age and notoriety. It's the church where the vendors' son got married, with the reception being held in a marquee in the property's gorgeous gardens. The Usk Valley Walk runs through the area and near the village is a large Iron Age hillfort at Coed-y-bwnydd, in the care of the National Trust. The village pub and restaurant, The Black Bear Inn, is a short stroll from the property. The vendors also enjoy a lovely country walk from their door, up to the hillfort and over the hill to The Clytha Arms - frequently voted as the best real ale pub in Wales. Step Inside:- - The house has a charming ambience and a wonderful flow, with a spacious, airy feel. It is south-facing so the rooms have lots of light, which is quite unusual for an old property. We also have beautiful views from the house, looking down the Usk Valley and to the Black Mountains beyond The front door opens from a clay paviour courtyard to a large and attractive entrance/dining hall, with an oak beam and exposed stone pillars adding character. This room is used for formal dining and entertaining. Meanwhile, the large farmhouse kitchen, converted from a former single-storey cowshed, is the heart of the family home. With space for a large table for informal get-togethers, it has characterful exposed ceiling timbers and slate flooring. It is fitted with cottage-style wall and base units and features an Aga which runs on LPG. The worksurfaces are granite and limestone tiles have been used for the splashback behind the Aga. The kitchen sink is placed under a window overlooking the courtyard. Next door to the kitchen is a useful fitted utility room with a Belfast sink, space and plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. The other side of the kitchen is a cosy snug/study with built-in cupboards and shelving and a fireplace, with a wooden surround, housing an LPG fire. There are two fabulous reception rooms leading off from the dining room, both full of character. They both overlook the gardens and have French doors to a sunny patio. The drawing room has feature beams and ceiling timbers. An imposing stone fireplace with a rustic oak mantel houses a large multi-fuel stove. The sitting room, part of a converted 200-year-old barn, has exposed beams and an exposed stone wall and there is a wood burning stove in an open fireplace. A door from the sitting room opens to the stunning cedar wood Amdega conservatory. This was added to the property 15 years ago, in a style that is in sympathy with the rest of the house. It has limestone flooring with electric underfloor heating and features the exposed stone exterior walls of the property. It makes a wonderful, atmospheric dining and entertaining space. It's a great addition for all seasons and it gives a sense of living in the garden. The conservatory also links the main property to a further utility area and a double garage with an ensuite bedroom over. The vendors currently use the garage space as a gym and for a sauna. With its own independent heating/hot water system, there is potential for this part of the property to be converted into an annexe , subject to planning permission. In the main house, there is also a downstairs WC, whilst from the dining hall, a staircase leads up to the first floor landing. The beautiful principal suite has a walk-through dressing room with bespoke oak wardrobes along one side. The wardrobes continue along two walls of the bedroom. This room has a vaulted ceiling featuring exposed timbers. French doors open to a balcony with lovely views over the walled garden and the pastureland and wooded Usk Valley beyond. There is a luxurious ensuite with a bath and a steam shower. There are three further, charming double bedrooms, one with a well-presented open plan walk in shower and the others served by a family bathroom with a slate floor, bath.. Outside - The house enjoys a secluded situation, off a quiet lane in the most historic part of the village. A private driveway leads to ample parking space for four cars in front of the double garage/annexe. The house sits in beautiful, mature, formal gardens bordered by walls constructed of reclaimed stone. The garden features some lovely established trees and is planted with spring bulbs and shrubs including a mature fig tree, rhododendrons, azaleas, magnolias, hydrangeas. There is a large patio for outdoor dining and a sun trap gravelled garden area is used for barbeques. There is a paddock of approximately half an acre nearest the house, with a modern barn which the vendor uses as a workshop, store and garage for four vehicles including a tractor. This has the potential to be a pony paddock and the vendors also considered siting a tennis court there. We love the tranquillity of Lodge Farm, as well as being surrounded by beautiful countryside and wildlife within the Bettws Newydd conservation area. When our children were growing up here, the garden and land made a real adventure playground for them and for our Cocker Spaniel. AGENT'S NOTE: There is additional land available, if required, by separate negotiation.

OVERVIEW Guyscliffe Farm has so much to offer and is perfect for those looking for a slice of the good life in the heart of the North Devon countryside. This fabulous 'lifestyle' home presents a range of different opportunities for the new owner and it sits in an idyllic rural location on the very outskirts of the popular coastal village of Combe Martin. Occupying a prominent and elevated location, the property lies in the centre of its own grounds, approached via a sweeping driveway, which amount to 24.165 acres (9.779 hectares) and includes pasture land and paddocks and an area of woodland. The outstanding position offers superb, uninterrupted and far reaching views in every direction over the neighbouring countryside and Exmoor and out towards the Hangman Hills, the Bristol Channel and the rugged coastline. Within the grounds is a huge 75ft x 45ft detached modern barn which has been divided up into different units and again providing a wide variety of different uses with some potential light commercial uses as well subject to any necessary consent. Within the barn there are six different areas including a store and plant room, 2 large and well-equipped workshops, a 30ft long gym, a games room/store and a storage unit that has, in the past, been let out to provide a useful additional income. Guyscliffe Farm also has its own campsite for tented visitors only at present. This is run under the 60 day permitted development rule which allows the site to operate without a camping licence or formal planning permission. The area allocated for the campsite sits on the northern side of the holding and provides six pitches, all with electric hook up points. In addition to that, part of the large barn has been converted to form newly created showers and toilets and a wash-up area for the campers to use whilst on site. Furthermore, the campsite enjoys arguably the finest views of all from the property with the main vista directly down the valley and out towards the Bristol Channel and the rugged coastline. From here, there would be some spectacular sunsets to be enjoyed throughout the year! The land surrounds the farm buildings on all sides and provides a high degree of privacy and seclusion. A sweeping driveway leads up through the grounds which has been recently widened to accommodate larger vehicles. There are various paddocks throughout the holding which are ideal for small animals such as horses, sheep, goats, chickens and ducks. There is also ample space for vegetable production and cultivation if desired. The wooded area provides a delightful area for a stroll out and is a haven for a variety of wildlife. The living accommodation at Guyscliffe Farm is particularly versatile and perfect for the larger family, dual family occupation or for home and income purposes thus further adding to the overall commercial potential of the property. There is a well-presented, much improved and recently modernised 4 bedroom main house which is a modern detached family home built in the mid-1980's with the accommodation designed to take maximum advantage of the outstanding and far reaching views with its reverse level design. Part of the house on the lower ground floor can be closed off to form a small apartment/annexe with its own independent access which comprises a living room, kitchenette an en suite double bedroom as well as a further shower room and separate toilet. This area of the property is perfect for an elderly or dependent relative or for teenage children perhaps. Furthermore, this unit could also be let out as a summer holiday let or as a permanent let on an assured shorthold tenancy. The present owners have undertaken many positive changes to the property adding so much to the buildings and the land to enhance the potential the property offers. A real transformative addition to the property is the recent construction of a superb 60ft x 20ft detached 2 bedroom lodge style home which provides very generously sized ancillary accommodation to the main home. The wooden structured building sits under an attractive natural slate roof with solar PV panels (currently not connected), and has impressive rooms with high vaulted ceilings throughout as well as a 30ft long kitchen/living/dining room, a TV room and a snug/lounge. Both of the bedrooms have their own modern and well-appointed en suite facilities too. Again, the fabulous far reaching views of the coastline and countryside can be enjoyed from more or less every window as well as the two sun terraces and the allocated and enclosed area of rear garden. This newly constructed additional home is perfect for those looking for dual family occupation as it provides all of the modern comforts of any masonry constructed house. Indeed, the present owners have chosen to occupy this part of the property as their main home which then allows for the house to be let out as a holiday home or as a permanent let, for income, if desired. For those who are looking for green credentials, Guyscliffe Farm has solar PV panels sitting on top of the large barn which supplements the electricity supply to main house and the barn and provides a feed in tariff to the National Grid and returns around £600 per annum. There is battery storage as well for this system. There is a further array of solar PV panels on the lodge roof to help provide power to the lodge and also be channelled to battery storage as well. At present, this system is not fully connected. Water is supplied from 2 natural springs. The water from the springs fill holding tanks that total 33,000 litres located in different areas of the property. The water is then pumped into the main house and the lodge providing excellent water pressure. There is also scope to add wind turbines too if required and subject to any necessary consent. THE MAIN HOUSE The main family home is a modern mid-1980's built reverse level detached house designed to take full advantage of the excellent far reaching views. The accommodation is arranged over two floors with the main living space on the upper ground floor and the bedrooms on the lower ground level. The property has been much improved, modernised and upgraded by the present owners to provide a versatile home ideal for the modern day family or for a family with an elderly or dependent relative as there is an area of the property on the lower ground floor that can be closed off to form an annexe/apartment. This area would also be ideal for teenage children too who want their own independent space. Furthermore, this area could be holiday or permanently let to provide a useful supplementary income. The heating in the main house is supplied via an LP gas boiler. There is also an oil fired Aga which is used as a back-up to the heating and hot water supply. The electricity supply is supplemented by the solar PV panels that sit on top of the large barn. The house has bright and airy accommodation and comprises an entrance lobby where there is access to a shower room which is particularly handy as and when you are working in the garden. The main living space has a cosy yet modern open plan feel with an abundance of light and windows and doors that enjoy the outstanding views across the countryside and out to the coastline. The 16ft long kitchen area has a range of hand-built wooden units complimented by slate work surfaces. There is a central island unit too with a copper double bowl Belfast sink and a breakfast bar. There is the oil-fired Aga as well as an integrated oven and electric hob and further areas of hand-built floor to ceiling cupboards and incorporating space for an American style fridge/freezer. The kitchen opens into the impressive 'L-Shaped' lounge/diner which has maximum measurements of 28ft x 21ft. Throughout the room there is attractive herringbone parquet style wooden floor which has been painstakingly restored and laid by the present owners. The room is set in two distinct areas providing a space for a large dining table and chairs as well a spacious lounge which has a marble fireplace and wood burner which adds character and atmosphere to the property and provides a focal point to the room. There is a built-in dresser unit with cupboards and shelving and glazed double doors to the rear lead out on to the garden whilst at the front, doors open on to a delightful balcony which enjoys the uninterrupted vista. Stairs lead down to the lower ground floor where there are four bedrooms in total, each with their own well-appointed en suite facilities. Two of the bedrooms together with a modern and well-equipped kitchenette, can be shut off from the rest of the house to form the annexe/apartment if required. This would then give accommodation for the annexe of a living room, double bedroom with an en suite shower room, a kitchen and a further shower room and separate toilet. This area can be independently accessed as well to retain privacy from the main house and there are also independent electric heaters that can be run separately from main central heating system. Immediately surrounding the house are landscaped areas of garden including a large front paved patio which is a great space for outdoor entertaining, al-fresco dining and barbecues, sun bathing etc. There is a hot tub too (available by separate negotiation). The patio can be directly accessed via all four bedrooms as well as the kitchenette. The gardens stretch out to the side of the building, laid to terraced lawns and interspersed with shrubs, bushes and trees. At the rear of the house there is an enclosed area immediately behind the building, accessible from the lounge and being ideal for dogs and small children. Beyond there, the gardens continue up and away from the house to an enclosure for ducks/chickens, an ornamental pond with water feature and a greenhouse. THE ANCILLARY LODGE As mentioned earlier, this a newly constructed home that is for use ancillary to the main house and is perfect for those looking for versatility in the overall accommodation and especially for multi-generational living. The accommodation is arranged over a single level and amounts to approximately 1,200ft2 (111m2). The high vaulted ceilings reach just under 10ft and add to the feeling of space within the building. There is an LP gas fired boiler that provides the heating and the hot water and, when connected up, the solar PV panels will also help to supplement the electricity supply and the hot water too. The impressive and unique accommodation comprises an entrance hall with good storage above the plant room. There is a handy utility room and toilet too. The heart of the home is the 30ft long kitchen/living/dining room. There is an extensive range of hand-built base units with slate work surfaces over, similar to that of the main house. There is a stainless-steel double bowl Belfast sink unit, provision for a range style cooker with an extractor canopy over and further floor to ceiling cupboards providing an abundance of storage and incorporating a niche for an American style fridge/freezer. There is plenty of space for a family sized dining table and chairs and an attractive stained glass door and screen provides a feature to the room and leads through into the lounge/snug. The lounge/snug is a cosy twin-aspect room with glazed double doors that perfectly frame the far reaching fabulous views over the countryside and open on to a 20ft long sun terrace which stretches across the width of the lodge. In addition, a 16ft long Cinema room provides a further space to relax and enjoy. There is a feature ornamental fireplace and blackout wooden shutters. The two bedrooms are both generous double sized room and both have their own en suite facilities. Bedroom 1 has glazed double doors that open onto the sun terrace as mentioned earlier.

This luxurious country house, nestled in the Monmouthshire countryside, has seven spacious bedrooms, elegant Georgian-style reception rooms, a stunning kitchen/family room and breathtaking views of the beautiful Usk Valley from its balustraded terrace. Recently used as one of the locations for a TV adaptation of Jilly Cooper's bestseller, Rivals, the wonderful period-style property has been imaginatively extended and thoroughly refurbished and updated, to offer a comfortable, contemporary lifestyle. It enjoys a glorious, private and tranquil setting, positioned in gardens and grounds of just over 19 acres, which stretch down to the banks of the River Usk. Originally a 19th century cottage, Woodbank House may once have been used as a shooting lodge for a local estate. Today, the former four-bedroom home incorporates a range of previous outbuildings and offers generous accommodation totalling approximately 9,580 sq ft. The vendors, who bought the property more than fifteen years ago, were attracted by the style of the house, its setting and location. We have always loved period houses so that was part of the appeal and because it needed work doing to it, we had the opportunity to make it into the family home we wanted. But we fell in love with it because as soon as you enter the gates onto the long drive you feel totally safe and private. We also love Monmouthshire, as it is very rural yet close to big cities. Woodbank was perfect as it has Cardiff and Bristol close by and it is also near to charming villages and towns including Usk, Caerleon and Monmouth, if I want cafes and quaint shops. There is also Newport which is kind of in the middle if I want to go shopping for something in particular and still get back home within the hour. We both like to play golf and for that, the area is perfect. We even overlook the Celtic Manor Ryder Cup course. And the river is beautiful. It's been like living in a mini paradise. The vendors have completed an amazing transformation, in sympathy with the original cottage but on a much grander scale. We wanted a house that's cosy for a family but we love cooking and entertaining, so we created a kitchen and snug for day-to-day living and for entertaining there is lots of space, with a large dining room and drawing room. During the refurbishment, the vendors were careful to retain the cottage's features, including high ceilings, decorative plasterwork and handsome fireplaces and they have extended the period look and feel into the newer parts of the house, creating a seamless transition. One of their inspired additions was the terrace which wraps around three sides of the house, giving entrancing views over the parkland-style grounds to the valley and river beyond. With all modern day conveniences, including underfloor heating throughout and with the benefit of a surround sound system in parts of the house, this is a warm and welcoming family home that's built for entertaining on a grand scale. It has previously been used as a boutique wedding and events venue and has been let as Visit Wales five star self-catering accommodation, for up to 20 guests. The property is just two miles from the village of Llanhennock, where there is a thriving local pub. It is uniquely positioned, within 20 miles of the city of Cardiff and almost the same distance from the charming market towns of Usk, Monmouth, Abergavenny and Chepstow. Newport, with direct trains to London Paddington, is 6.5 miles away. Bristol is 30 miles distant. Step inside:- - A grand tone is immediately set by the elegant reception hall, which is in the oldest part of the property and has a high ceiling with original decorative cornicing. To one side of the room is a pair of Georgian style arched recesses. An impressive, bespoke, American oak staircase leads up to the first floor and French doors open to the rear terrace. Off the hallway, at the front of the house, is an office, which features an original fireplace with a marble mantelpiece. French doors open from this room to the side terrace, known as the Rose Terrace. Next door, with a bay window overlooking the same terrace, there is a reception room featuring an original fireplace and built-in bookshelves. This room is currently used as a library and fully operational commercial bar area, but could be turned into an eighth bedroom if desired. Off the rear of the reception hallway is an elegant drawing room, flooded with light from four pairs of French doors which can be thrown open to the views. A focal point in this room is a decorative fireplace with an Ionic style mahogany surround. Across the hallway, the dining room is an equally beautiful room, designed in period style, with high ceilings, decorative cornicing, a central ceiling rose and a fireplace with a feature surround matching one in the drawing room. This is a working, open fireplace, like those throughout the ground floor of the property. The room, which can easily accommodate 20 diners, has a pair of French doors to the terrace at the back of the house and another set of French doors opens to a barbeque area. It is a great house for entertaining we can have drinks on the terrace, then dinner in the large dining room or, on long summer evenings, a barbeque on the terrace, followed by dessert and coffee while playing snooker in the games room on the lower ground floor. The stunning, bespoke kitchen, created to be the heart of the family home, was also designed with large-scale entertaining in mind. It has wooden, floor-to- ceiling cabinets, hand crafted by a local joiner, two Belfast sinks, a four-oven oil-fired Aga and high spec integrated appliances, a Quooker hot water tap, Siemens electric oven and hob and two Liebherr fridge/freezers. There is ample space for a family dining table and for a free-standing central island. Downstairs, the flooring is either engineered oak or quality tiling from Mandarin Stone. In the kitchen, the vendors opted for practical tiling. Double doors open from the kitchen to a cosy sitting room, used as the family snug. On the ground floor there is also a useful utility room just across from the kitchen, with an adjacent cloakroom. There is another downstairs cloakroom off the reception hall. Stairs outside the kitchen lead down to the lower ground floor, which incorporates two bedrooms with a shared bathroom. A large games room provides ample space for use as a snooker room, gym, and cinema. On this floor there is also an integrated double garage with a service door providing access to the stairway. It makes it easy to bring the shopping straight up to the kitchen. The lower ground floor accommodation also includes a store room and a cellar, fitted out as commercial yet stylish bar. The spectacular staircase from the reception hall leads to a galleried first floor landing, with a large window looking out over the terrace and grounds. On this floor there are five spacious bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom. Each delightful bedroom has its own character. One has an attractive, part octagonal window giving views straight down the valley. Another, in the oldest part of the house, has a period cast iron fireplace. The particularly impressive principal bedroom benefits from a stunning ensuite with a roll top bath, generous corner shower and twin pedestal washbasins. There is a walk-in dressing room, with a handy linen chute which leads straight to the utility room. French doors from the bedroom open to a Juliet balcony, with a lovely long distance outlook over the River Usk and Celtic Manor Ryder Cup Golf course and estate. Outside - From the roadway, a pair of electrically operated, decorative wrought iron gates open to a long, sweeping drive, lined with shrubs and mature trees. This leads past a level gravel parking area for up to 20 cars (on the site of the former tennis court) and on to the front of the house and to the integrated garage. There is further parking in front of the garage. The house enjoys a central position in its parkland-style grounds, which extend to just over 19 acres, stretching down to the banks of the River Usk, where the vendors enjoy riverside walks. We also love to walk into Caerleon for coffee or across the field to the Wheatsheaf Inn in Llanhennock. Nearest the house, there are formal and terraced gardens and areas of lawn, whilst the grounds also include meadowland, a paddock with a variety of established fruit trees, a man-made pond and an area of mature woodland. Wrapping around the two sides and the rear of the house is a grand terrace, with period-style balustrades, which the vendors designed as outdoor entertaining space and to show off the views and the river. At the back, the River Terrace looks out over formal gardens to the Usk Valley. To one side, the Rose Terrace looks over a rose garden and a feature water fountain and also towards the Handkerchief Garden, where there is a lovely specimen handkerchief tree. Clambering over this side and over to the front of the house there is also an established wisteria.
