House Newcastle (United Kingdom)
Nestled within 35 acres of its own land that includes woodland, paddocks and views, this charming four-bed cottage called Cae Graig is full of character and light that wraps you up in a welcoming ambience within its spaces to create lifelong happy memories. Dating back to the 1830s at its cottage core, the much-loved home has been extended over the years to create versatile spaces and charming rooms that combine into a perfect family abode. Inside the cottage boasts rooms of character, light and views, happy to welcome social gatherings of family and friends, as well as offering special spots to find solitude and peace. Wander through the cottage to find two reception rooms, one with a lovely log burner, a country kitchen with dining space, four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, utility and boot room, plus store room presently used as a gym. Within the immediate garden there are a choice of patios and places to relax and fully immerse yourself in the glorious landscape and panoramic views towards the valley to Grosmont and Garway Hill, that cocoons this special home. There's already a mature orchard but the property offers more scope to develop a larger smallholding, and there's certainly ample space to support the endeavour, from growing more produce to keeping horses, livestock and chickens. The land also contains a range of outbuildings including a summerhouse, plus two stone barns ripe for conversion, subject to planning consent. The cottage is embedded within the stunning countryside of Monmouthshire between the villages of Newcastle and Skenfrith, off a quiet country lane and via a private driveway. The property feels remote and enveloped in peace but there are actually a few neighbours close by but not in view, plus the popular market town of Monmouth is just a short drive away. The town has some of the best schools in the county, and arguably in the country, as well as a range of independent and brand name shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, making this a perfect family home that offers a balance of rural and urban. Located near the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty means exhilarating outdoor activities on land and on water are literally on the doorstep, coupled with a myriad of bridleways and tracks to explore on horse, bike or foot either alone or with family, friends and dogs too. For travelling further afield Monmouth is perfectly placed on the A40, offering direct access north to Birmingham and south to the M4, Cardiff, Bristol and mainline train routes. STEP INSIDE:- - Step inside the attractive stone cottage that dates back to the 1830s and it instantly welcomes you with a warm hug and calm ambience that floats through the rooms as you explore each space. The much-loved house, which has been owned by the same family for over 60 years, was expanded from the historic cottage's core at both ends in 1992 and 2000 to create a spacious four-bedroom, family home. The cottage can boast oodles of character before you even step into the cute porch and through the front door, as you're greeted by a visual feast of a stone facade, Welsh slate roof and hardwood, double-glazed windows. Wander first into the core of the cottage and the country charm in the living room is evident, from exposed ceiling beams above to an exposed stone wall where a log burner happily nestles into the original fireplace on a flagstone hearth. It's the most delightful of spaces, easily enticing people inside to sit and chat in comfy chairs and squashy sofas clustered around the feature fireplace, as people have been doing over the many decades. As a place to relax in solitude, reading a book or just admiring the view, this cosy living room is ideal, but it can easily host a social gathering, with ample space to welcome a number of sofas. But this is not the only welcoming place to gravitate towards, as a door at one end leads into a second reception space that is flooded with light from the huge, floor-to-ceiling corner window on one side that frames an absorbing view of the courtyard and land beyond. The dual aspect windows mean that wherever you sit within this delightful sitting room a captivating view is flooding your vision. Character has not been forgotten in this additional space with exposed beams and a brick and stone baking oven alcove in the corner adding period charm. Into the spacious kitchen diner at the other end of the cottage, and it surpasses all expectations of a classic country kitchen, with wooden units painted a heritage green that combines a nod to the past with a homage to the glorious grounds that surround the house. There's a rayburn stove nestled into an exposed brick and stone chimney breast that runs off wood and coal. The set of French doors add to the room's boast of a triple aspect, as well as offering a seamless connection to the fabulous garden. The dining area can easily seat eight people ensuring that this space is the heart of the home' with everyone gathered around the table to chat to the cook as a family feast is prepared. It's been the site of many memorable meals and Christmas dinners through the years and will continue to be for decades to come. This is a house that keeps on giving, with additional rooms and spaces that offer versatility to accommodate a future owner's needs. There's a boot room and utility to sort out muddy dogs, wellies and clothes and a cloakroom. Off the sitting room there's a useful study that can offer a peaceful place to work from home plus a door that leads to a store room with double height ceiling that is currently being used as a gym. Upstairs the feeling of light and space wrapped in character continues through the four double bedrooms, with each happily showcasing its own special view of the surrounding landscape through its windows. The principal bedroom is the most spacious on offer and can boast two breathtaking views to wake up to via its duo of windows, and a display of partially exposed roof trusses across the ceiling to add the period charm. Two sizeable bathrooms can be found on this first floor too, very handy for a busy family home and ensuring there's never likely to be a queue for the facilities. Cae Graig is the most welcoming of properties, just waiting for you to arrive and bring your own style, and in return it will reward you with many years of welcoming hugs and hosting happy memories to cherish for a lifetime. VENDOR INSIGHT:- - Cae Graig holds a significant place in my family's heart, having been in our possession since 1961. Originally bought by my parents, subsequent generations, including my grandparents and later my own children, have called it home, and so it holds immense sentimental value for me. This property embodies a traditional farmhouse aesthetic, extended by various enhancements over the years. Its core structure traces back to the early 1800s, with expansions in 1992 and 2000. This natural setting, abounding with diverse flora and fauna such as cowslips, primroses, and bluebells, offers a serene atmosphere filled with birdsong. Reflecting on cherished memories, my home has served as a backdrop for countless memorable moments with my children such as camping parties, christenings, Easter Egg hunts and Burns Night celebrations. Its layout allows for both togetherness and individual space, with distinct zones within the garden allowing for communal games and horticultural interests alike. Each room possesses its own unique charm, making it impossible to choose my favourite. Whether enjoying the comforting warmth of the kitchen's Rayburn stove or the glow of the living room's wood burner, every corner of the house radiates a cosy ambiance despite its size. The expansive sitting room provides ample space for large gatherings or quiet relaxation, while offering picturesque vistas of the courtyard and surrounding woodland from every vantage point. The breathtaking sunrise and sunsets further enhance the property's charm, with the unobstructed views toward Garway Hill and Grosmont providing an awe-inspiring backdrop. Beneath the unpolluted night sky, devoid of intrusive streetlights, we have spent many magical evenings mesmerised by the stars. The wood, which the garden leads into, is a magical place, filled with a whole host of beautiful birdsong. While the property enjoys a secluded rural setting, it remains connected to nearby communities, fostering a sense of belonging and opportunities to become involved in a whole range of local activities. Memories created within these walls, from joyous gatherings to tranquil moments, will always be cherished. While bidding farewell will be very emotional, the enduring memories of my life at Cae Graig will always be with me. Outside - Step outside into a substantial 35 acre slice of the glorious Monmouthshire countryside that you can call your own rural paradise. Memorable walks through eight acres of dappled woodland, riding through paddocks and fields, and exploring the undulating landscape are experiences to enjoy every day as you fully immerse yourself in the peaceful lifestyle this amazing home offers. Found off a country lane and at the end of a private driveway, the home is cocooned in far-reaching, panoramic views that are forever breathtaking, combined with the soundtrack of birdsong plus gentle breezes that dance through the pockets of woodland. The garden that hugs the house is a perfect place to entertain family and visiting friends, offering a choice of sun-drenched patios, a charming courtyard, lawns and terraces to host summer BBQs and evening drinks, wrapped in the mesmerising country views that envelope this special home. There's already an orchard and, of course, masses of space to develop the land further into your ideal scenario. Maybe increase the area dedicated to growing your own produce with greenhouse support, keep horses, livestock and chickens - all can be accommodated within this huge parcel of land. There are numerous outbuildings within the land to support any smallholding endeavour, plus a substantial timber summerhouse that provides the most enticing spot to relax after a full day working the land or just enjoying meandering through it. If the home needs to earn income or be an inviting home for another layer of the family, the attached barn and outbuildings, if planning permission can be secured, are ripe for conversion to maximise their potential.

House Usk (United Kingdom)
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. 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.

Blakeney, known for its charming village atmosphere, provides picturesque views and a welcoming environment. Both towns contribute to the area's appeal, combining natural beauty with practical conveniences. Approached via a gated entrance and a beautiful tree-lined driveway, this attractive 3-bedroom barn conversion alongside its 2-bedroom annexe is set amidst 13.5 acres of undulating land, offering wonderful views. This well-loved home has been cherished by a multi-generational family for an impressive 28 years.

Located just 12 miles from Chepstow, the property enjoys excellent transport links to the M4 and M5, with easy access to Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Bristol.

House Llanhennock (United Kingdom)
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.
