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.

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.

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

There is an orchard with apple, cherry, damson and mulberry trees. Wildlife is everywhere with many birds visiting, including some unusual ones. We even have woodpeckers, yellowhammers and an owl, which feels truly magical. Being on a hillside also means birds of prey often circle above. The garden is part of the National Garden Scheme, and we have opened it to the public before, raising money for charity - something we are very proud of.” “This home is made for entertaining. We have held Notley Fest here for my wife’s 40th and in the years since. My daughter was married here too, with a huge marquee - many guests said they thought it was a wedding venue, but it is simply our home.” “We have wonderful neighbours, always ready to help one another. My wife is part of several ladies’ groups - walking, book and dinner club and there is always something happening, especially at the village hall.” “What I will miss most is everything: the garden, the space, the privacy and the tranquillity.

When the owners first viewed, its stunning location plus the beautiful wrap-around garden first captured their attention; its three storeys offered potential to be transformed into the flexible, multigeneration home they were seeking. Ty Prif (Main house) was originally built as a farmhouse, c1840 and the current owners have embarked on a thoughtful, sustainable renovation that has enhanced the house whilst respecting its unique character. Practically, the owners updated services for the property – installing a ground source heat pump which provides both central heating and hot water which enabled plumbing to be upgraded throughout, including the addition of bathrooms/en-suites. Underfloor heating and air conditioning has been installed, bringing comfort and efficiency to every level. An annexe was added to the front of the house to unlock multi-generation family living. This can be accessed both separately and through the main house, and has a complete kitchen, bedroom with en-suite and a lounge with bi-fold doors, leading to a patio with fenced garden and views beyond. The owners enjoy spending time in the updated kitchen which has been thoughtfully designed to make the best of the stunning outlook; even in the winter or on an overcast day, there’s always something interesting to see (even if it’s the wild weather!). When you’re standing at the induction hob and island you can spot the local wildlife, from the red kites that circle above, to the pheasants and rabbits that frequent the garden. It is also a very practical and sociable space - on a recent memorable occasion, the owners hosted forty friends and family members there for a celebration. Each of Ty Prif’s three floors has been carefully redesigned to provide spacious and versatile accommodation. For example, the owners are currently using two ground floor rooms as offices, but these can easily be repurposed as bedrooms with a change of furniture. The result is a home that works beautifully for everyday life while offering the flexibility needed for extended family living. Outside, the owners have improved many external features, including installing remote-controlled gates and intercom - along with CCTV, electric car charging point and additional driveway parking. A large garden building now sits at the top garden level, including a hot tub and space for additional seating. The garden also benefits from the lower-level mature orchard which the owners have carefully nurtured and they will particularly miss the bumper crop of fruit each Autumn. For the owners, living in Llandegveth has offered the perfect balance between rural living and maintaining quick and easy access to the nearby towns of Cwmbran, Usk and Caerleon. Ty Prif has been a much-loved family home for the current owners. They have written their chapter as part of the house’s history; now they are ready to handover the pen for someone to write the next instalment in this remarkable house’s story.”* Directions What3words///loops.ulterior.awoke https://w3w.co/loops.ulterior.awoke

W3W: winemaker.undivided.adopt Vendor Insight - I was immediately captivated by The Rowans and its charming exterior and knew it was to be the family home I had been searching for. It was also an exciting renovation project and within commuting distance from Bristol for work. The house and the two bed annexe were in need of some care and attention and I have sympathetically upgraded them throughout. Work included plastering all rooms, rewiring, relaying floors, modernising the kitchen and bathroom and opening two original, bricked up, fireplaces. The real developments were the conversion of the small adjoining barn into the dining room, a fabulous sunroom and the creation of a massive, waterproofed and heated basement room. I love all the rooms, but am very proud of the stunning, curved, oak framed sunroom; that is always flooded with light and has pretty views to the garden: it is the ideal spot to settle and relax with a cup of tea or a glass of wine. The kitchen is where we spend most of our time and perfect for the passionate cook but also the place for family kitchen meals, plus the welcoming snug corner with a large sofa and wood burner for times when you want to relax with a coffee. Upstairs two bedrooms have large dormer windows where you look across the countryside to the Malverns and May Hill. Each room has a delightful mix of warmth, comfort and sophistication. The Rowans is a hospitable home where our guests can appreciate the elegance of the dining room, the warm and cosy sitting room with its huge fireplace and intriguing, original window that looks through to the kitchen; whilst the basement is the perfect games and party room. There have been many happy events when friends and family gathered in the house and garden. The wildlife garden is a glorious celebration of nature, with a twenty-eight tree orchard, and mature, colourful borders. It is a haven for wildlife with sightings of hedgehogs, rabbits, woodpeckers, jays and buzzards. In the back garden there are the remains of a Roman-era forge and well, hinting at the site's ancient past. Separately, in the front garden a charming wisteria-covered walkway welcomes you, and in summer becomes a magical tunnel, the perfect setting for alfresco meals. The garden really has become an outside living room, enjoyed many summers as a haven of peace and natural beauty. We are so lucky to be just a few minutes' walk to the local garage and grocery store, or to the Severn and Wye Smokery with its food hall, coffee shop, restaurant and fishmonger. Westbury on Severn and Newnham on Severn are very short drives, and Gloucester is just over eight miles away, surrounded by the beautiful Severn Valley and Malvern Hills. The house has given me twenty-one happy years but is now too big and the time has come to downsize. The Rowans can now welcome another family to take over and look after it for the next twenty years.

DIRECTIONS W3W concluded.reflector.slug Sellers Insight When we first came to Little Cwm, it was the sense of peace and history that completely won us over,’ say the owners. ‘It feels like its own little estate, tucked away down a quiet lane, yet still connected to a friendly local community.’ ‘We’ve always loved the character of the house,’ they explain. ‘It’s built from stone with a traditional tiled roof, and we made sure any additions, like the oak windows and doors, respected that heritage.’ More recently, they have embraced greener living with photovoltaic panels, an air-source heat pump and an Everhot stove. ‘Little Cwm is warm and cosy, with low running costs – even the electric car is charged on sunshine.’ There are three main bedrooms, plus an annexe room and a separate flat above the garages, which has worked well as a holiday let, but offers great versatility when family visit.’ The gardens and surrounding fields are essential to the character of the property. ’We are proud of our garden,’ they say. ‘It’s mature, and includes ten varieties of magnolia, as well as a productive vineyard, orchard and vegetable garden.’ Beyond this, five acres of pasture, enough to support two or three ponies, and woodland stretch out from the house, with the Dulas Brook running along the south-west boundary. ‘It’s a haven for wildlife – we regularly see kingfishers, dippers and even otters on the stream.’ For the owners, daily life here has been defined by the surroundings. ‘We love sitting in the kitchen in the winter, with the sun streaming in, or out in the courtyard in summer, surrounded by birdsong,’ they say. ‘There’s always something to enjoy, whether it’s the changing seasons or the sheer abundance of wildlife.’ We’ll miss the peace and quiet most of all,’ they reflect. ‘And the walks, the views and the simple pleasure of living so close to nature.’*
