This handsome double fronted period property dates from the mid 1800’s and has been extended from its original form into a hugely appealing modern family home of approximately 1783 sqft (165 sqm). Stone dressed and accompanied by attractive arched windows, this generously appointed and well-proportioned home enjoys splendid views over the surrounding mountains of Abergavenny and has four bedrooms, three large reception rooms, a kitchen with dining space, utility room and a home office with a door connecting to the outside. For versatile living, there are bath/shower suites on both floors and with energy efficiency in mind for a large home, the property has been fitted with solar panels and a modern boiler which is about four years old, in addition to double glazed sash style windows.
Entered through a central hallway with a large feature oak door with leaded light detailing, there is a good flow to the house with several of the rooms being dual aspect with a neutral décor and oak flooring running throughout. The spacious hallway provides access to two receptions rooms to either side with an open plan lounge/diner leading into a Shaker style kitchen/breakfast room with a comprehensively fitted utility room to the side. To the other side of the hallway, sitting behind a dual aspect living room, a study has the useful benefit of a door opening to the outside, but equally, this room could be utilised as a bedroom as there is a shower suite adjacent.
To the first floor, the four bedrooms, three of which are doubles, are presented with attractive pine floorboards and afford distant views of the scenic hillside beyond. The principal bedroom has a great size four piece en-suite whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom suite with a free standing Victorian style bath.
Outside, this family home has a long garden which is predominantly lawned and a sun terrace to the front and side of the house. There is currently parking for one vehicle, but the vendor of this house also owns the neighbouring property, over which this one has a right of access over the drive, has drawn up plans to create four additional parking spaces if required, at the new owner’s cost.
