Description

A VERSATILE RURAL PROPERTY IN APPROX. 20.7 ACRES, FEATURING A SPACIOUS THREE-BEDROOM HOME, A TWO-BEDROOM HOLIDAY COTTAGE, GARAGE, OUTBUILDINGS, PADDOCKS, WOODLAND AND GARDENS, WITH PANORAMIC COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS, LOCATED NEAR USK AND MONMOUTH.

  Spacious Three-Bedroom Country Residence
Separate Two-Bedroom Cottage Providing Rental Income
Approx. 20.7 Acres of Land Including Paddocks, Woodland, Gardens and Orchard
Double Garage, Outbuildings and Extensive Parking
Outstanding Panoramic Countryside Views
Highly Desirable Rural Location Within Easy Reach of Usk, Monmouth, Cardiff and Bristol 

A versatile rural property set in approx. 20.7 acres comprising a spacious three-bedroom family home, a separate two-bedroom cottage generating rental income, a double garage, useful outbuildings and an attractive mix of paddocks, woodland and gardens, with panoramic countryside views, in a highly desirable location close to Usk and Monmouth.

The property has been home to the current owners since 2013 and the main house is believed to date back to the 1850’s, with a large extension added more recently. The separate former forester's cottage is now run as a holiday let, providing a useful rental income.

The property occupies a particularly attractive rural setting which is exceptionally private and secluded, enveloped by its own grounds. In addition to the wonderful gardens there is approx. five acres of mature woodland and a ten acre pasture paddock which is suitable for grazing horses or other livestock.

Despite its tranquil setting the property remains conveniently located just three miles from the historic market town of Usk, which offers a charming selection of independent shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants and local services, together with a primary school, doctors' surgery, agricultural showground and picturesque riverside walks along the River Usk. The larger market town of Monmouth provides a comprehensive range of amenities including supermarkets, shops, restaurants, leisure facilities and health care services. The town is particularly well-regarded for its excellent schools including Monmouthshire Comprehensive School and Haberdashers Independent School.
