The Mandarin Stone flooring continues into a practical utility room with fitted cupboards, wooden worktops, and a Belfast-style sink.

Outside - Halewood is located in a truly beautiful part of Monmouthshire, nestled within the renowned Wye Valley AONB. Tucked away in a peaceful wooded valley, the property offers a perfect retreat while still being close to neighbours. It is accessed through discreet electric gates that open onto a driveway flanked by traditional post and rail fencing.

The grounds extend to approximately 2.45 acres and include two large paddocks, making it ideal for ponies or other livestock during certain times of the year. The land is vibrant with seasonal wildflowers and orchids, and notably, the paddocks are registered wildflower meadows with local wildlife status (GWT), set against a backdrop of mature woodland. Gently sloping grasslands lead down to an enclosed pond, which is fenced for chickens and ducks, adding to the property's charming and natural appeal.

Immediately surrounding the cottage are beautifully landscaped gardens featuring specimen trees, mature shrubs, and a heritage-style greenhouse with cold frames, along with a generous vegetable patch and a fruit orchard - perfect for keen gardeners and those who enjoy outdoor living.

One side of the property boasts a spectacular, large outdoor heated swimming pool, equipped with an air source heat pump to provide efficient warmth. Surrounding the pool are sun terraces, bordered by a lush laurel hedge that offers privacy and shade. Overall, the property is encompassed by idyllic countryside, creating a perfect setting for outdoor relaxation and leisure.

Living within the Wye Valley means being close to nature, with occasional visits from local deer. Additional outbuildings include a wood and timber outhouse/workshop, which has potential to be converted into a studio or annexe, subject to planning permission. There is also ample parking space for numerous vehicles, making this a versatile and idyllic rural retreat.
