Penallt, Monmouth (with two bedroom detached annexe & 5 acres)

Upper Glyn Farm is a charming four bedroom barn conversion situated in a superb location boasting a detached two bedroom annexe, approximately five acres of grounds and stunning far-reaching countryside views.

The Property

The main door opens into a generous reception hall with a tiled floor, w.c and storage cupboard. From here, a door leads into the family room which is full of character and leads superbly into the dining area and kitchen. The dining area offers bright, spacious accommodation with multiple doors out to the garden and floor to ceiling windows ensuring the countryside views can be effortlessly enjoyed. The farmhouse style kitchen includes a large Belfast sink, space for a double freestanding oven, dishwasher and ample, versatile storage. From the kitchen, entry can be gained to the useful pantry and separate utility room with another Belfast sink and space for white goods. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a large sitting room boasting a woodburning stove set in an antique, cider press drip stone salvaged from the farm. This room is an excellent size for entertaining and has double doors leading out to the garden.

The first floor is reached via a staircase from the family room. The principal suite includes an impressive dressing room and an en suite bathroom. Three further double bedrooms can be found alongside the family bathroom. All of the bedrooms enjoy peaceful, rural views across land owned by Upper Glyn Farm and the surrounding Monmouthshire countryside.

Detached Annexe - Ciderpress Cottage

Ciderpress Cottage is a detached two bedroom annexe offering a variety of opportunities to an incoming owner. The accommodation comprises of a sitting room with woodburning stove, kitchen / dining room and a staircase rising to two bedrooms and a bathroom.

The annexe has its own parking area and gardens and very much feels separate from the main house when guests are staying. The annexe could be used as holiday accommodation, longer term rental or would also suit multigenerational family purchasers. There is also the potential for the annexe to be extended and then connected to the main house subject to any of the necessary planning consents.

Outside

Upper Glyn Farm is surrounded by approximately five acres of grounds, which extends across the lane and enjoys superb rural views in a private setting.

Some of the paddocks are already divided by hedging and stone walls and there are three separate gate access points. There is strong potential for smallholding, equestrian or commercial possibilities.

The parking area has space for multiple vehicles and from here access can be gained to an attached store which appears to have a lintel where a door previously existed to the sitting room suggesting it could be refurbished to create either a study or additional reception space if desired. There are also further outbuildings attached to the annexe previously used as stables but offers further opportunity
for storage or conversion if desired.

The formal garden is beautiful and there are multiple seating areas to enjoy the scenic views. Although well established, there is the opportunity to add your own stamp to the outside space for any keen gardeners out there.
