3 bedroom house

This immaculately presented three/four bedroom attached cottage boasts a unique and idyllic setting. Home Farm Court is a prestigious conversion of an early nineteenth century model farm into ten luxury properties, sitting in around six acres of beautifully landscaped communal parkland and is located in the heart of the glorious Monmouthshire countryside.

Number 8 Home Farm Court occupies a south facing corner plot. It is undoubtably the best situated property converted from the farm's attractive stone buildings, which form a quadrangle around a central courtyard with a feature fountain. The exclusive, gated development is approached along a sweeping, tree-lined driveway which skirts the boundaries of Shirenewton Hall park. The model farm was originally built for the hall's owner, Charles Oswald Liddell, who served as Sheriff of Monmouthshire in 1918.

This truly special property offers a secure, quiet and relaxed environment, living in the countryside yet without the feeling of isolation. The light and airy house and attractive gardens have privacy and yet an open aspect, with stunning views.

The farm complex is within the Shirenewton Conservation Area and on the edge of this sought-after, hill-top village. Situated about four miles west of Chepstow, Shirenewton has a well-regarded primary school, a church, a recreation hall and three pubs, at least one within walking distance of the property. On the edge of both the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Wentwood Forest, one of the largest ancient woodlands in Wales, the village offers a wealth of opportunities for lovers of the outdoors, including walkers, cyclists and horse-riders. The property's location offers a peaceful, country lifestyle, yet within easy access of the M48 motorway network for commuting to Bristol, London, Newport and Cardiff.

Step inside:- - This stylishly-presented and recently upgraded home offers generous, family-sized accommodation with the benefit of double glazing and mains gas central heating.

Thought to have been converted from part of the main farm house and an attached cottage, it has well-proportioned rooms. An exposed beam and stone wall above the stairway, a feature stone archway in the wall on the way to the principal suite and the original flagstones in the dining room all hint at the property's origins and add to its character, whilst overall it has a bright, contemporary feel.

The main entrance door opens to an enclosed lobby, with double glazed doors through to an entrance hall, off which there is a downstairs WC. To one side of the hall, double doors open to the lounge, where a recently-installed Parkray Aspect 5 wood burning stove is set on a slate hearth under an oak-beam mantle. This charming room has solid oak flooring. A large sash window set in a panelled surround gives views over the front path and garden.

The other side of the entrance hallway there is a stunning kitchen/dining room which has recently been enlarged and fitted with a timeless Shaker-style Crown Imperial Midsomer kitchen, painted in Stone Grey with a breakfast/work island painted in complementary Light Grey. The work surfaces are oak, there are matching oak shelves and the room has limestone tile flooring. The kitchen units conceal a range of integrated appliances, there is space for a large fridge/freezer and for a wine cooler and there is a Kensington range cooker with a 7-burner gas hob and electric ovens, grill and plate warmer, with an extractor over.

A window over the kitchen sink looks out over a sunny patio area and neatly-tended lawned gardens. A glazed door opens from the kitchen directly to the patio, allowing for convenient outdoor entertaining. At the far end of the kitchen there is space for a dining table. Here, a window complete with wooden panelling and shutters has a wide window seat.

For more formal entertaining, there is also a separate dining room, which has previously been used as a study and fourth bedroom. This room has an original flagstone floor and a glazed door opening to a private paved area on the edge of the communal, quadrangle-shaped courtyard.

Upstairs, two lovely double bedrooms overlook the garden and enjoy views to the fields beyond. Both rooms have painted, exposed ceiling beams and one has a range of built-in wardrobes, a matching, built-in dressing table and a useful cupboard. These bedrooms share a bathroom, fitted with a bath and separate shower. In the bathroom, there is plumbing for a washing machine and space for a dryer.

From the main landing, there are steps up to a second landing which leads to the principal bedroom. A door off this landing opens to a stylish bathroom, with a free-standing roll top bath, a large shower and a newly-installed vanity unit and wash basin. The delightful and spacious principal bedroom has an extensive range of hand-painted, built-in wardrobes, There is attractive feature panelling on one wall and a stunning view from the large sash window to the front of the property, across the parkland and surrounding farmland, right down to the River Severn.

Outside - The property benefits from a private east round to west corner plot, partly bordered by established hedging. The vendors say the sunny, south facing patio at the back of the property makes "a lovely, peaceful place to sit" whilst at the end of the garden is an additional paved area to enjoy the late evening sun and watch it going down. Arranged throughout the level lawned area are a variety of fruit trees and near the house is an attractive timber pergola, bordered by shrub and flower beds. At the end of the garden, a fence borders the communal parkland, which can be accessed through a gate. Beyond, the views are over open farmland and to the Severn Estuary.

The front door is approached along a pretty pathway, accessed through a pedestrian gate from a parking area, where there are three allocated parking spaces. The property also benefits from a double garage, with an electric up-and-over door, situated in a nearby block, where there is a car washing area. At the front of the property are two lovely established magnolia trees and flower beds border a patio area. Nearby, double doors set into the ground give access to a cellar, which has electricity and lighting and is currently used for garden storage.

A management company ensures the grounds and roads are well maintained, for which a monthly fee is paid.
