Description

Dating back to the 1800’s, Mount Pleasant is a charming three bedroom cottage set in an elevated position, making the most of its breathtaking views across the Monmouthshire countryside. The property extends to just over three acres and features an impressive oak detached triple garage and stables.

The Property 

Mount Pleasant is an impressive three-bedroom detached cottage, beautifully presented throughout and rich in characterful features. Occupying an enviable position, the property enjoys spectacular views across rolling countryside and is set within just over three acres.

The property is entered via a stable door into a welcoming hallway, which features oak flooring that continues seamlessly into the living room. The hallway provides access to the charming living room, kitchen/breakfast room, WC and stairs rising to the first floor. The living room is generously proportioned, with two windows to the front aspect framing the far-reaching views, while a side window allows natural light to flood the space. An attractive stone fireplace with woodburning stove forms a charming central focal point and there is ample room for a dining table and chairs. The kitchen is well-appointed with a modern range of base and wall units, a range cooker, Belfast sink, integrated dishwasher, dual-aspect windows, along with space for informal dining and benefits from slate tiled flooring.

To the first floor, a spacious landing gives access to three well-proportioned double bedrooms and an impressive family bathroom. Each bedroom enjoys views over the front elevation, with one further enhanced by dual-aspect windows that maximise the outstanding outlook. The stylish family bathroom is fitted with a freestanding roll-top bath, separate shower, WC and wash hand basin.

Outside

The property is set within just over three acres of beautifully maintained gardens and grounds. Approached via a double gated driveway, it features an impressive bespoke oak triple garage with a first-floor space, currently utilised by the vendors as a home office. There are also stables, adding further versatility to the property. In addition, a well-appointed summer house with light and power, together with a log burner, provides an ideal space for relaxation or home working throughout the year. A further benefit is a separate paddock located across the lane, offering excellent potential for equestrian or amenity use.

Occupying an elevated position, Mount Pleasant enjoys truly exceptional far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. The gardens are thoughtfully arranged, with a generous lawned area and a patio perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the outlook, along with a paddock that enhances the property’s rural appeal.
