5 Bedrooms, 2 Receptions, 2 Bathrooms, Commercial, Freehold

Beautifully presented 17th Century five-bedroom country home in an elevated, rural position enjoying the most breathtaking panoramic south westerly views towards the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains. The impressive three storey farmhouse has been finished to a supreme standard throughout, cleverly combining original character features and high-quality modern finishes. The versatile grounds of approximately 4.5 acres consist of landscaped gardens, woodland with stream, stables and separate paddock with planning permission for two holiday-let pods.

		The wisteria clad stone property is inset with wooden double-glazed windows and doors under a pitched slate tiled roof. This property is in excellent condition throughout with many restored original features and has been sympathetically extended to create a spectacular open plan kitchen dining room to maximise the glorious countryside and sunset views. Features include vertically boarded ledged and braced latch lever doors, oak staircase, exposed stonework, an abundance of beams and trusses, inglenook fireplaces including stone from Raglan castle, Victorian style column radiators, as well as a tanked vaulted cellar.
		Located in a rural setting yet with very easy access to major road networks for Bristol, Cardiff and Birmingham and nearby train stations into London. The popular local market town of Monmouth and local village amenities are only a short drive away, as well as high calibre private and state schools the area has to offer.
		The property is economical and efficient as over recent years the current owners have upgraded the roof and insulation, and installed new bespoke windows, a top of the range biomass heating system providing central heating to radiators throughout, and solar PV panels which also feed back into the grid, subsequently resulting in a low EPC Rating of C, which is unusual for a property of this size and character.
