luxury real estate for sale Monmouth, United Kingdom

In a beautiful, tranquil location in the Lower Wye Valley, this imaginatively refurbished and restyled country cottage combines rustic charm, contemporary chic and modern-day practicality. The charming property nestles into the hillside at the end of a no-through road, where it is surrounded by fields and woodland. The vendors say they were drawn to it by the wonderful views from the front of the house, the privacy and the feeling of open space and nature. They add: It would be hard to replicate this location, overlooking the Wye Valley, with the trees and their wonderful changing colours throughout the seasons. The cottage sits in a plot of 0.88 acres and its terraced gardens have been thoughtfully designed to make the most of the entrancing views and natural environment, with plenty of outdoor seating areas. Inside, the property has recently been transformed to provide comfortable, four-bedroom accommodation, which includes a unique and very successful one-bed holiday let. Careful thought has been given to potential future uses, with planning permission in place for a first floor extension to the rear of the property to create a further bedroom with an en-suite (Planning ref: DM/2022/01439, dated 13/12/2022). Alternatively, there could be potential to extend the holiday-let business, subject to planning, by converting a tandem length double garage at the end of the no-through lane and by installing a Shepherds Hut in the grounds to the side of the property. Folly Cottage is situated in the pretty, historic village of Whitebrook, in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a wonderful location for those who enjoy the outdoors. There are plenty of opportunities for walking, climbing, cycling, canoeing, riding or simply enjoying the scenery and wildlife. There are a number of good pubs and restaurants in the vicinity, including Michelin-starred The Whitebrook. On the west (Welsh) side of the River Wye, Whitebrook is mid-way between the village of Tintern, with its renowned Cistercian abbey and the market town of Monmouth (each about 6 miles distant.) Monmouth provides a variety of independent shops, restaurants, tea rooms and coffee shops and has a Lidl, a Waitrose and an M&S Food. The town hosts regular markets and a busy programme of events, boasts good leisure and recreation facilities and nearby world-class golf courses. The cottage is approximately 3.5 miles from Trellech Primary School and Monmouth benefits from well-reputed state schools and the Haberdashers' Monmouth independent boys' and girls' schools. There are further schools in Chepstow, about 11 miles away. From Whitebrook, there is good access to the motorway network, linking to Cardiff, Bristol and the Midlands, making this rural location attractive to commuters. Step inside:- - The beautifully presented cottage has its origins in the 1800s, with later additions. Whilst it has recently undergone a huge transformation, to make best use of the space and adapt it to contemporary living, a host of lovely, historic features have been maintained and restored. The vendors have used reclaimed and repurposed materials to enhance the cottage's rustic appeal, they have been creative with textures and paint effects and they have introduced a trendy, vintage industrial-style twist, complete with modern, high-end fittings. We wanted to create a bespoke, country property, with open-style living. We sought to be sympathetic to the age of the cottage, at the same time introducing modern features. The front door, set to one side of the property, opens to an entrance hall with a useful utility/boot room off. The hallway features original exposed wall timbers and recently-laid Cotswold Stone floor tiles. These tiles continue throughout the ground floor, except in the sitting room, where the flooring is engineered oak. The sitting room, in the oldest part of the cottage has a wealth of lovely, original ceiling beams and a traditional stone-built fireplace, with a stone hearth and an oak beam over. The fireplace features a bread oven and houses a Mors woodburning stove. To one side of the fireplace, the vendors have uncovered the old stone steps which lead up to the first floor principal bedroom. They were a nice little discovery having previously been hidden by a false cupboard. The sitting room, with two windows and a door to the front of the house, is comfortable and full of character. It's my favourite room it feels very different from the rest of the house it's a place to hide away and be cosy. In contrast to the sitting room, the wonderful kitchen/diner, adjacent, has a more contemporary, open plan feel. The kitchen is accessed from the hallway through stunning part-glazed doors, which the vendors discovered in a reclamation yard and restored and reglazed. The bespoke kitchen units have been cleverly created from an assortment of reclaimed furniture, painted in Farrow and Ball Old White and with quartz work surfaces. The central island, a repurposed industrial item, incorporates a hob with an extractor over, an oven and a dishwasher. The stylish sink unit is made from an old Danish baker's workbench and incorporates a double, stainless steel sink. A large wooden dresser has also been repurposed as part of the kitchen and there is a two-oven Aga which runs on LPG. The kitchen features an attractive, working open fireplace, to one side of which there is a recess for a large, upright fridge/freezer (to check included in sale). To the other side is a larder cupboard with a door with a porthole in it. The room includes plenty of space for a dining table and the kitchen/diner is flooded with light from four windows, two to the front and two overlooking the gardens to the side of the cottage. We love the natural view from the large bay window to the side of the house, over the grass bank and the greenery and the rhododendrons and shrubs, say the vendors, adding that there is planning permission to enclose this area with a post and rail fence to create a family-friendly side garden, if required. From the kitchen/diner, French doors open to a paved patio which runs along the front of the cottage, taking full advantage of the views and providing generous space for indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. Back along the hallway from the kitchen there is a ground-floor double bedroom, with an exposed ceiling beam and two windows with window seats overlooking the front of the property. On the opposite side of the hallway, double ledge and brace doors open to a WC with attractive heritage wall tiles and a washstand made from a repurposed dresser base with a circular stone sink on top. The cottage benefits from underfloor heating through the ground floor of the property laid on cotswold stone and able to be controlled via a mobile phone app. From the family bathroom there is a concealed service door to the strikingly presented lettings annexe, which comprises a trendy, industrial-style double bedroom with a space-saving wall bed. The bedroom walls are clad with repurposed timbers from an old gym and the floor boards are also reclaimed. The ensuite is a unique mix of heritage wall tiles, reclaimed wood and galvanised corrugated metal sheets (used for the wall covering) and there is a vintage reclaimed cupboard with a stylish round stone sink atop. There is a large walk-in shower with an electric power shower. The annexe benefits from electric heating run independently from the main house, where the downstairs underfloor heating and upstairs radiators are run by a newly installed LPG boiler. The annexe bedroom has French doors to a private, paved courtyard from which there is a boardwalk leading to a small, detached stone barn. This has been imaginatively converted into a compact kitchen/dining/living space dedicated to the annexe. The green Elfin mini-kitchen, made from stainless steel, includes a dishwasher, sink, microwave, fridge and induction hob. The room is warmed by electric underfloor heating and a small wood burning stove. Glazed doors open to a decked area which enjoys the incredible views and steps lead down to the no through road, providing a private access for guests. The holiday let also has dedicated use of a decked area higher up the garden, from which there are also fantastic views and where there is a wood fired hot bath. The holiday let has operated as a successful Airbnb since February 2023, generating useful additional income. Outside - Folly Cottage is approached up a flight of steps from the no-through road. The steps lead up from the side of an oversized double garage with an electric roller door, designed to accommodate a 4x4. There is a further tandem length double garage situated further up the road, currently used as a workshop. The cottage sits in a terraced plot of 0.88 acres. The enchanting gardens have a natural feel, with plenty of mature shrubs and spring bulbs. There is a large wildlife pond bordered by soft planting and there is a beautiful bank of wildflowers along the front of the property. There are several seating areas to enjoy the breathtaking views across the valley. These include the paved patio which opens from the kitchen and a porcelain-tiled veranda above the double garage, festooned by a flourishing wisteria. A further feature of the garden is an old mill stone, thought to be a relic from the period when, in the mid 1700's, paper mills were the main industry in the area. The gardens have a dog-secure area and the property is surrounded by wonderful dog walks, with the Wye Valley Walk long distance footpath close by.

Located in an elevated position above the glorious Monmouthshire countryside and on the edge of the Wye Valley, this truly stunning home offers an idyllic rural lifestyle surrounded by breathtaking, panoramic views of the Vale of Usk. At the end of a small country lane, behind electric gates and at the end of a sweeping driveway the substantial four-bedroom home called Twyn Gorse promises peace and privacy, enveloped within three acres of land. The perfectly placed property at the brow of a hill maximises the incredible panoramic view that extends for miles across the landscape to the horizon, and from the vast garden terrace the vista across the county is exceptional. When the current owners spent two years updating and remodelling the property into a remarkable home, they optimised the connection to the view from the house by adding a sizeable first floor balcony as the front row seat to feel totally immersed in the landscape. Outside, the property can boast a separate annexe ideal for multi-generational living onsite, plus a double garage, carport and an outbuilding ripe for conversion. Inside, the remodelling of the 1950s abode into a luxury, contemporary abode has created an outstanding open-plan living space in a broken-plan layout across the whole of the main ground floor. A single-storey extension sweeps to the side and offers a utility room and sizeable family room with a door to a second kitchen, opening up the possibility of creating an annexe or the most wonderful for games rooms with a very short journey to top up the snacks. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom suite impressing with a dressing area with seating, a high-end ensuite with massive shower plus the balcony that boasts the most incredible place to relax accompanied by the panoramic views. The house might be off a tiny country lane, high on a hill but it is also well-connected to the thriving and friendly village of Llanishen which offers a pub and a village hall as the centres of the community, as well as access onto the B4293. This is a direct route to Monmouth which is only about seven miles away and offers an impressive array of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants as well as amenities and facilities. The town can also offer some of the best schools in the area, although nearby Trelleck has a primary school closer to home. To the west is the popular and pretty town of Usk, once voted the best place to live in Wales, and the main road through Llanishen also heads south to Chepstow which can offer a mainline railway station and the M48 linking to the M4 and M5 for journeys further afield. Being on the doorstep of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty means a myriad of ways to make lasting memories within the stunning landscape, from hiking and biking to woodland walks and water-based sports, the only challenge is trying to choose what to try first. Step inside - Step inside this very impressive home and it immediately embraces you with light and space via a double-height hall that includes a galleried landing and stunning chandelier cascading down the stairwell. It's an entrance of grandeur yet is welcoming and inviting, enticing you to explore further by revealing glimpses and views of the substantial ground floor spaces via large, open doorways. To the left is the impressive living room which is probably going to win the battle of drawing you inside first, in part due to the mesmerising, panoramic view that the space fully embraces via two sets of massive glass sliding doors. It's a living room that has been created for social gatherings with family and friends, and lots of them too, as the vast space happily welcomes multiple sofas. Sinking into a bank of cushions, it's not hard to relax and thoroughly enjoy time spent being truly hypnotised by the rural vista as well as the scintillating company. When the temperature rises, the glass doors become the heroes of the space, gently sliding open to create effortless indoor outdoor wandering while allowing refreshing breezes to waft in and cool the space. The living room seamlessly flows into the kitchen space that is another area designed to draw people together, offering them a special place to comfortably linger and chat with the cook whilst sitting at the integrated breakfast bar at one end of the vast kitchen island. The high-end, well-equipped contemporary kitchen is a cook's dream, boasting two ovens, hob, a vegetable sink, granite work surfaces and a large wine cooler as just some of the highlights to please and impress. At the end of the kitchen the connected reception space flows into a dining area around the corner, a more formal area with a more intimate atmosphere. This sunny and pleasant space is perfectly designed to host dinner parties and enjoy family meals and can boast its own direct flow to the garden via a set of French doors that offer a beautifully framed view of the garden. Taking down walls within this period property has been a triumph; joining all the rooms into one connected space for perfect flow both physically and visually and yet cleverly zoning the spaces so they each have a function and atmosphere. But the house has not finished with revealing accommodation to impress on the ground floor just yet. Via a door at the end of the kitchen a utility room is waiting to assist you with a sizeable, practical space and is joined by a cloakroom and duo of storage cupboards. There's a door at the end of this section of the home that opens into a surprise second kitchen and then a substantial room that boasts a wall of bifold doors that open to the garden, as well as framing the seemingly never-ending view. This bonus single-storey addition to the side of the house could be used as a games room and party space, or a quieter and separate reception room, or because it has its own external door at the rear of the house it could even be a contender to become an annexe. Upstairs, via the charming central galleried landing, four sumptuous and very spacious bedrooms await, with the principal able to boast an ensuite worthy of a five-star hotel and a joy to stumble into every morning. But this principal suite can boast extra layers of impressive spaces, with a dressing area that includes a bespoke, built-in window seat and direct access to the incredible glass panelled balcony that spans the width of the house. From enjoying a weekend brunch in the sun to indulging in a late night drink under the stars, the balcony is the ultimate place to relax and feel totally immersed in the enviable panoramic view, with nature and wildlife neighbours as the only near neighbours. Both bedroom two and three at the rear of the house enjoy their own sweeping countryside views via dual aspect windows, as well as sharing a Jack and Jill' bathroom, while bedroom four shares in the joy of the mesmerising vista at the front of the house directly from the pillow. The family bathroom is another luxurious space. The thought, care and budget lavished on the rest of the house is very evident in this room too, through the choice of porcelain tiles and a high-end suite that includes a substantial walk-in shower and modern freestanding bath placed at an angle so that the view is waiting at the end of the bath to be fully enjoyed. This is a country home that hides an abundance of extra features with a view to the future as well as the present, including a state-of-the-art heat recovery ventilation system and solar panels as well as underfloor heating and triple glazing that when combined create a home that is highly energy efficient as well as sophisticated, modern and elegant - a dream c.. Vendor Insight - When we came to view Twyn Gorse for the first time, we knew that we had to have it simply because of the position. Located at the top of the hill with 360-degree views, the scenery is phenomenal and we firmly believe that it's one of the best plots in South Wales. The views over the local villages and hills are just sublime, say the owners. We purchased the property in 2016 and restoration work began in 2018. Built in 1957, everything was original and required stripping back, including the part of a tree trunk used to finish off the roof! What we have now is a welcoming and cosy home that has been insulated to a very high standard; it's efficient and economical to run and we're currently using electricity generated by ourselves and not from the National Grid. We enjoy being part of a friendly little community where everyone is willing to help out but are never intrusive. Our village hall is one of the most active in the area and there's something going on all the time, including cooked breakfasts, free coffee mornings, variety shows, pantomimes, skittles, soft play, and BBQs for special occasions. The village pub serves nice food and we also have a well-stocked shop that's handy for day-to-day essentials. We're equidistant between Chepstow and Monmouth both of which have a wide range of amenities. The garden is completely flat which is unusual for a property in this location. It's great for every generation as children enjoy endless games of football and bike riding, whilst adults sit comfortably with a glass of something chilled. The patio wraps around the house with different seating areas to make the most of the views and sunshine. It's perfect for relaxing and entertaining with a sunken patio and hot tub area, speaker system, and a well-equipped outdoor kitchen. We see a huge variety of wildlife here, as well as red kites and buzzards who are almost on the same level as us as we're so high up. We had a vision of open plan living which has worked brilliantly. The kitchen is the heart of the home where we can cook and easily chat to our guests, whilst the lounge benefits from the amazing, ever-changing views where we can watch the rain and mist come in before the clouds give way to bright sunshine. Outside - Step outside into three acres of private and peaceful land that is drenched in stunning rural views, as well as pools of sunlight and the natural world as the constant soundtrack. Approaching the house along the small country lane it appears on the horizon and looks magnificent. Through the electric gates and the period property remodelled into a modern home over a two year period dominates the plot, perched high above the sprawling Monmouthshire landscape below. The vast wraparound terrace measuring over 160 square metres and accessed from the house via a number of glass doors, makes the most of the surrounding views, ensuring maximum enjoyment and connection, and is the hub of the home outside. Relaxing on a lounger with a book, enjoying alfresco dining in peace or with company, hosting the best BBQs and garden parties supported by the bonus outside kitchen are all moments to make lifelong memories with the most incredible scenery as the constant backdrop. There's plenty of parking for guests on the driveway and the house can offer a home for a variety of the owner's vehicles including a double garage and a carport as a handy home for a caravan or motorhome. There's a place for guests to stay too once the party has wrapped up, a detached annexe that can boast its own kitchen and shower room and so could also offer multi-generational living opportunities as well as the potential to be a holiday let, subject to planning. The majority of the land away from the manicured and landscaped garden that wraps around the house offers plenty of private woodland walks and paddocks to explore and an abundance of special spots to set down a picnic blanket and relax. The property can even supply a renovation opportunity in the garden for an owner to get their imagination whirring. The outbuilding called The Quarry, which has water and electricity already installed, is looking for a new lease of life, subject to planning, to add to the outstanding features and extras that this truly special home and garden offers.

This handsome, modernised and extended period farmhouse enjoys a glorious, elevated situation, commanding stunning 180 degree views of the picturesque scenery of the Wye Valley 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'. 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 2.16 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 property is private, but not isolated, part of the small but vibrant community of Hewelsfield, served by the award-winning Brockweir and Hewelsfield Village Shop (closed due to a recent fire whilst work is underway to reopen it). Other village facilities include a playing field next to the shop and The Mackenzie Hall, in Brockweir, which hosts a range of classes, clubs and events, including a Tennis Club. Hunters Lodge is also close to amenities in the market towns of Chepstow ( 7 miles) and Monmouth (10 miles). Well-regarded educational facilities nearby include state secondary schools, Llandogo Primary School and the Haberdashers' Monmouth independent boys' and girls' schools. Good access to motorway links to Cardiff, Bristol and the Midlands makes the area attractive to commuters. Step inside:- - The property boasts spacious, high ceilinged principal rooms which enjoy plenty of natural light and outstanding views from large, double glazed windows. The accommodation is currently arranged into one four bedroom family home with a first floor one-bed apartment, with its own access (House Martins). One wing of the house, also with private access, is used as a one-bedroom lettings annexe (The Retreat). Overall, the spacious accommodation (4855 sq ft) provides many options, including for dual family living, Airbnb, additional lettings income, live-in staff or for integration into one grand and gracious family home. Hunters Lodge is a three-storey property, with a basement used for storage and workshops. The principal accommodation is accessed up a flight of stone steps from the driveway, leading to an attractive, solid wood, glazed entrance porch with slate flooring. The porch was built about 20 years ago, replacing a smaller one but in a similar style. I copied the Gothic window design from the original. From the porch a glazed door opens directly into a living room which has been refurbished with walnut flooring and where the stone fireplace has been exposed and now houses a wood burning stove. To one side of the living room is an elegant, light-filled room with original pine floorboards and a large, south-facing bay window, taking advantage of the views. There is a French door to the side of the house. This room would make an ideal formal dining room, playroom or music room but for the vendor, it was an obvious choice for her studio. Leading off the other side of the living room is another lovely room, also with large bay windows and pine floorboards and, like all the reception rooms, it has period cornicing. Benefiting from built-in bookcases, this room is used as a library. A farmhouse style kitchen/diner is located at the rear of the property, with views over the orchard. It has slate flooring and is fitted with oak units under oak worksurfaces. The central island incorporates a hob and the stone fireplace houses an electric two-oven Aga. To one side of the fireplace is a useful larder cupboard. A side door and a pair of French doors give access from the kitchen to a raised, paved patio at the side of the house, which enjoys views over the valley and makes a wonderful outdoor dining space. In the main part of the property, the downstairs accommodation is completed by a single bedroom with a modern ensuite shower room. There is a downstairs cloakroom off a large inner hallway, at the back of the house. A traditional wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where there are three bedrooms, one facing the rear, overlooking the orchards and two at the front, enjoying long distance views. There are exposed pine floorboards throughout this floor. The principal bedroom has a large bay window, an exposed stone fireplace with a woodburning stove and two built-in cupboards. It shares a charming, modern Jack-and-Jill bathroom with the second front bedroom. There is potential to create a magnificent principal suite by converting the second bedroom into a large dressing room. On this floor, the accommodation also includes a laundry room/utility room, with a washbasin and WC. The self-contained apartment, House Martins, takes up the remainder of the original first floor of the house. It incorporates a fitted kitchen/diner, a modern bathroom and a large bed/sitting room with a bay window to the front of the property and an exposed stone fireplace with a log burning stove. The apartment has its own private staircase and access from the rear of the house. There is also a service access from the main bedroom landing, making it easy to reintegrate the rooms if required. There is a further option to turn the apartment kitchen/diner into a bedroom. The annexe, The Retreat, comprises a new wing, purpose-built about 10 years ago in the style of the original property, originally used as a holiday let and currently rented out. The annexe benefits from large bay windows giving views to the side of the property. It has its own access, a private patio, a designated area of garden and parking for two cars. On the ground floor is an open plan kitchen/dining/living area and upstairs is a spacious bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. There is a service access to the kitchen area from the main house, making reintegration possible. Hunters Lodge benefits from partially boarded attic storage and the basement, with its large windows and access door to the gardens, is divided into thr.. Outside - 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 2.16 acres and we are advised by the vendor that further land on the other side of the lane is available separately if required by separate negotiation.

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.

This magnificent, Grade II listed family home sits in private, part-walled gardens in a Conservation Area at the historic heart of the desirable village of St Arvans, at the gateway to the beautiful Wye Valley. St Arvans Court is an attractive and exceptionally well-presented property, which benefits from three elegant reception rooms, a large, recently fitted family kitchen with a charming breakfast/dining area, seven bedrooms, a home office and a gym with a sauna. The historic house is thought to be Jacobean in origin, with an imposing Georgian addition at the front. It is remarkable for its lovely period features, which include a balcony along the full length of the back of the house and a unique circular sitting room at the front. Other classic detailing includes dado rails, cornicing, some original shutters, some pretty cast iron bedroom fireplaces and traditional cast iron radiators. Charming traditional features in the oldest part of the property include an open stone fireplace and exposed beams. The lovely property has been home to the vendors for the past 25 years and in that time they have lovingly refurbished, modernised and maintained it. It's a special house and has made an absolutely perfect family home. It is peaceful and has a real warmth about it. When we first viewed it, the children loved it, particularly the two attic bedrooms, which they claimed as theirs. The vendors were also attracted to the area, which is very popular with families. St. Arvans is a charming village, situated in the Lower Wye Valley, in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Surrounded by beautiful scenery and wildlife, it's a good base for those who enjoy walking, cycling and other outdoor pursuits. It's also a friendly place with a strong sense of community. The Memorial Hall hosts a busy calendar of events and village facilities include a pub, church, day nursery and two playing fields. Only two miles away, in Chepstow, there are schools, further leisure facilities, a range of independent shops, cafes and restaurants, supermarkets and an M&S Foodhall. This lovely ancient market town is the site of Chepstow Castle, reputedly the earliest stone-built Norman stronghold. Chepstow racecourse is within walking distance of St Arvans and there are golf and leisure facilities at nearby St Pierre Golf & Country Club. From the village, it's only three and a half miles to the Severn Bridge and to the motorway network, bringing Bristol, Newport and Cardiff within easy reach. There are regular trains to London from Bristol Parkway and international flights from Bristol and Cardiff airports. Step Inside:- - The house is rendered and painted, with Welsh slate roofs. It has an attractive, symmetrical facade with sash windows with decorative dripmoulds over. There is a grand, central entrance porch with a front door with pretty leaded panes set below a leaded fanlight. The welcoming entrance hallway has tessellated tiled flooring and an attractive ceiling arch. Solid wood doors open from either side of the hallway to the two elegant, high ceilinged reception rooms which both have sash windows (with their original shutters) overlooking the front of the property. One of these rooms is the gorgeous, circular sitting room, which has two large alcoves either side of an attractive fireplace, housing a wood burning stove. The round room is my favourite place in the winter because it is so cosy and tranquil in there. It is a perfect place to cuddle up on the sofa in front of the log burner. Across the hallway, the second reception room, used as a formal dining room, is perfect for dinner parties and Christmas entertaining. In a similar style to the sitting room, at one end of the room there are two large alcoves with decorative plasterwork in a semi-circular wall, framing a feature fireplace. One alcove houses a purpose-built dresser. In the other there is an intriguing, revolving dumb waiter, which connects with the kitchen. I can't say we have ever used it but it is an unusual feature to have! The kitchen/breakfast room is in the original Jacobean part of the house, at the back of the property, where lower, beamed ceilings lend the rooms traditional character and charm. The stylish, recently refitted kitchen features a range of contemporary, pebble grey units, quartz worksurfaces, splashbacks and upstands, Mandarin Stone porcelain floor tiles and a traditional Belfast sink. The well-planned kitchen includes a large island, plenty of cupboard and drawer space, a comprehensive range of inbuilt appliances and a large larder cupboard. There is a two-oven, oil-fired Aga as well as a separate cooker and hob. A door from the kitchen opens to a side porch which leads to a patio at the side of the house, used for outdoor dining and entertaining. The kitchen leads through to a large breakfast/dining area with three exposed ceiling beams and an impressive stone fireplace, with an oak beam over, housing a huge wood burning stove on a flagstone hearth. With the Aga at one end and the big log burner at the other, this room is really warm and cosy. From the breakfast/dining area, there is a door to the back garden and to one side of the fireplace, five steps lead up to a fitted utility room, with a Belfast sink, space and plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. This room is in a modern, single storey extension at the side of the house, which could be converted into an annexe if required. A door from the utility room leads through to a study/home office with a large window overlooking the garden as well as a door to the outside. I chose this as my home office because it is quiet and away from the main house and it was an ideal place to work from home, without being disturbed. Beyond the study is a home gym with a sauna, whilst in this extension there is also an integrated single garage, with a courtesy door into the utility room. The downstairs accommodation is completed by a WC situated off the porch to the side of the kitchen. From the entrance hallway a Georgian staircase with turned spindles and a mahogany handrail leads up to a first-floor family living room, which has two sets of French doors to the balcony running along the back of the house. On warm evenings, it is lovely to throw them open to the balcony it brings the outside in. The room has traditional oak flooring and a fireplace with a decorative wood surround housing a wood burning stove. There are also three bedrooms on this floor, including the principal suite, a light and airy space with two sash windows to the front of the property and an arched window to the side. There's a dressing area and a modern ensuite with a contemporary free-standing bath and a steam shower. Also overlooking the front of the house is a double guest bedroom which features a charming cast iron fireplace. At the back of the house, with French doors to the balcony, there is a further double bedroom which has a door to the Jack and Jill family bathroom, also accessible from the hallway. Stairs lead up to a second floor, where, on a half landing, there is a door to a two-bedroom, self-contained apartment, which has its own private access up a metal staircase from the outside. Ideal as separate space for grandparents or grown-up children, the vendors have mainly used it as part of their main accommodation. It was useful having two kitchens when the children were teenagers and entertaining their friends. The stairs lead on up to the two delightful double bedrooms in the attic, both with the A-frame exposed. These are the rooms the children fell in love with. One room has a charming curved window and a door to ample hanging and storage space in the eaves. The other has a porthole window. The rooms share a modern bathroom. Running underneath the front of the house, accessed from the garden or from steps down from the breakfast area, here is a barrel-roofed cellar with a flagstone floor, used for storage. Outside - The house stands in gardens of 0.80 acres, enclosed by an old stone wall on three sides and a tall hedge on the other, providing privacy. One of the beauties of the house is that it is in the village, with houses all around, but it is private and quite quiet. The property is accessed through a pair of wooden gates set in the stone wall. A driveway leads to ample parking in front of the property and then on round to the single garage at the side of the house. There is a mature Wellingtonia at the front of the house and a recently planted rare deciduous Sequoia. There is a large area of lawn at the back of the house and a sheltered patio to one side, perfect for summer barbeques and for a hot tub. An arbour half way up the garden is a lovely place to enjoy the last of the sun. A lavender bed borders a flagstone area under the balcony. An area of garden at the side of the property has been fenced off and contains a raised vegetable bed. It's a perfect-sized garden, completely safe for the dogs. When the children were growing up, the house was always full of their friends. It was fantastic for parties and the garden was a magnet for them all.

This charming four-bedroom cottage fuses cosy, historic character with stunning, contemporary living spaces and combines the convenience of an edge-of-town location with a private parkland-style setting and the enduring appeal of open views over the lovely south Monmouthshire countryside. I love sunsets and we have the most amazing sunsets here and wonderful skies, because it is flat and open. I have a table and chairs in the front garden, where I can sit in the afternoon and evening, looking over the farmers' fields to the west, just enjoying the skies. Fairfield sits in immaculately-kept, mature grounds of approximately 2 acres which include stables and a stable yard with independent access.

Step inside:- - Dating from the early 1900s, the cottage was extended some 70 years later and has recently been modernised and upgraded, to provide lovely, open-plan living space, carefully planned to create a seamless flow from traditional to modern. Exposed timbers, original stone walls and an open fireplace with a wood burning stove on a flagstone hearth give the characterful living room a wonderful, warm ambience, which contrasts with the feel of the beautifully presented, light and airy contemporary kitchen which it opens into. Once separated by a dividing wall, these two rooms now provide one wow space. Says the vendor: Where we once had small, dark rooms, we now have space suitable for 21st Century living. The vendors have recently installed the stunning, modern kitchen, with its comprehensive range of units and wood effect laminate flooring, chosen for practicality. I opted for country-style units to suit the property and planned lots of workspace as I like to cook. We have a big family and when we get together they always come to us. The kitchen has a large central island, incorporating a breakfast bar and the room also has ample space for a separate dining table. The kitchen incorporates integrated appliances and a Range cooker (with LPG gas hob and electric double oven). The kitchen is flooded with natural light, being open plan to a handy utility room which leads straight through to a sun room, with glazed doors to a charming rear courtyard, perfect for dining al fresco. The neatly-presented utility room, with units to match the kitchen, includes space and plumbing for a washing machine and built-in space for an upright fridge/freezer. From the kitchen, there is a doorway to a rear hallway which leads through to a comfortable lounge. Like the living room, this is situated in the oldest part of the house and it is full of character, with an exposed original stone wall featuring an inset fireplace on a raised hearth (not a working fireplace) and a stone-built corner seat. The lounge has a window to the side garden. It is a lovely, comfortable room. It gets the sun first thing in the morning and it very light and warm. Next to the lounge is one of the vendor's favourite rooms a spacious games room with an in-built bar and sliding doors to the rear garden. It's a great family party room and we have had some really fun times in it, including birthdays, Christmases, christenings and even a fancy dress event. Off the rear hallway, there is also a is a fully-tiled downstairs shower room, refitted during the property's recent refurbishment, when the vendors also installed stylish grey traditional column radiators throughout the ground floor. From the rear hallway a pair of glazed doors gives access to the rear courtyard and stairs lead up to the first floor, where there are four bedrooms, including one with an ensuite bathroom and built-in wardrobes and another which also benefits from fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom, which overlooks the front garden, has fitted wardrobes, built-in shelving and a spacious and luxurious en-suite bathroom with a whirlpool bath in one corner and a large walk-in shower in another. Off the landing there is a handy storage cupboard. Back on the ground floor, what was once a double garage has been converted into two further rooms, which could be used as a study and further reception room. The flexible space, accessed through the sun room but also with independent access from the front of the cottage, could alternatively be returned to a garage or converted to provide a ground floor bedroom or annexe accommodation. Outside - From the road, a pair of five bar gates open to an impressive gravelled driveway, which leads up to the front of the cottage and around to the side, where there is ample parking. Either side of the driveway, large level lawns planted with mature trees, including 50-year-old willows, give a parkland feel. Spring bulbs planted along the fence line at the front of the properly are a mass of seasonal colour. At the rear of the cottage, opening from the sun room, is a lovely, sheltered and secluded courtyard area, where pretty climbing plants clamber over a wooden pergola. The courtyard, laid with pavers in a circular pattern, makes a wonderful spot for outdoor entertaining. Past a garden shed in one corner of the courtyard, steps lead up to a vegetable garden, with two raised beds and a greenhouse. The gardens and grounds also include an orchard with a variety of fruit trees. Fairfield enjoys a beautiful level position, extending to approximately 2 acres and also including a stable yard, with wooden stables with three loose boxes, with independent access through a five bar gate directly from the road.

Once they have driven through the impressive metal gates off the quiet country lane and parked, it's a short walk to the immaculate and vast lawn that wraps around the house, offering ample space for playing games and adding children's play equipment. There's space for adults to enjoy themselves too, with the massive deck to the side creating a sun-drenched and special spot to enjoy alfresco dining, relaxing, and hosting the best social gatherings, all enveloped by far-reaching rural views and a peaceful ambience with birdsong as the predominant soundtrack. Dogs will think they are in pooch heaven with so much space to run around and there's a choice of areas that could host the addition of a vegetable garden, greenhouse and shed for anyone who wants to live the good life and begin growing their own food. A new owner may even want to increase the party potential to a higher level with the addition of a hot tub, and maybe even a swimming pool if planning allows. Around to the far side of the house is the bonus of a double garage, handy for storage as well as a home for the cars but, as there is a vast area for parking, maybe this detached building could become a workshop, home office or even a multi-generational annexe, again if planning consent is given. Viewings Please make sure you have viewed all of the marketing material to avoid any unnecessary physical appointments. Pay particular attention to the floorplan, dimensions, video (if there is one) as well as the location marker. In order to offer flexible appointment times, we have a team of dedicated Viewings Specialists who will show you around. Whilst they know as much as possible about each property, in-depth questions may be better directed towards the Sales Team in the office. If you would rather a ‘virtual viewing’ where one of the team shows you the property via a live streaming service, please just let us know. Selling?
