Exposed timbers, original stone walls and an open fireplace with a wood burning stove on a flagstone hearth give the characterful living room a wonderful, warm ambience, which contrasts with the feel of the beautifully presented, light and airy contemporary kitchen which it opens into. Once separated by a dividing wall, these two rooms now provide one "wow" space. Says the vendor: "Where we once had small, dark rooms, we now have space suitable for 21st Century living." The vendors have recently installed the stunning, modern kitchen, with its comprehensive range of units and wood effect laminate flooring, chosen for practicality. "I opted for country-style units to suit the property and planned lots of workspace as I like to cook. We have a big family and when we get together they always come to us."

The kitchen incorporates integrated appliances and a Range cooker (with LPG gas hob and electric double oven).

Next to the lounge is one of the vendor's favourite rooms a spacious games room with an in-built bar and sliding doors to the rear garden. "It's a great family party room and we have had some really fun times in it, including birthdays, Christmases, christenings and even a fancy dress event." Off the rear hallway, there is also a is a fully-tiled downstairs shower room, refitted during the property's recent refurbishment, when the vendors also installed stylish grey traditional column radiators throughout the ground floor.

Caldicot

USD 770,283

This inspired conversion of an historic cart house provides characterful, contemporary living space in a convenient rural environment, offering easy access to the M4 and major towns and cities. It was the combination of the peaceful, pastoral surroundings and the proximity to the motorway network, for commuting and for visiting family nearby, that drew the vendors to this lovely spot. Taking on a run-down farm building, in 2005, they have completed a stylish transformation, which retains charming reminders of the property's former use. They have made particular features of the four large arched openings along one side, which would have been the doorways for the carts. "We wanted to keep the atmosphere of the barn, which is 200 to 250 years old," As a result of their efforts, the traditional stone-built barn is now a stunning, three-bedroom family home, with a farmhouse-style kitchen and two light-filled reception rooms. The immaculately-presented property has a warm and welcoming ambience and features oak double glazed windows, high standards of insulation and underfloor heating throughout, powered by an energy-efficient Geo Thermal ground source heat pump. "Everybody remarks on how cosy and warm the barn is and yet it also has a contemporary feel. Also, thanks to my favourite features, those lovely big windows, it is very, very light. It is lovely to come home to." The property also benefits from ample parking, a large double garage (with potential for conversion, subject to necessary consents), well-planned, enclosed gardens and a peaceful, rural outlook, over neighbouring paddocks towards the River Severn. It is situated among a small cluster of three converted barns, once used as a dairy farm. "It is totally private, but part of a small community, so you don't feel alone. But when you open the front door the first thing you see is the horses in the neighbouring fields and that's gorgeous." Sgubor Fach is within easy reach of junction 23A of the M4, meaning for work, shopping, leisure and entertainment, there is easy access to nearby towns and cities such as Chepstow, Newport, Cardiff, Bristol, Monmouth and Abergavenny. Meanwhile, the little town of Magor is just a five-minute drive away. At the heart of this charming town is a vibrant and historic square filled with a variety of independent shops, including a delicatessen which also sells fresh fruit and veg. The town boasts a local Post Office, a handy convenience store and a choice of cafes, pubs, restaurants and takeaways. "It's a beautiful little place to go and do the shopping. There are two lovely cafés in the square and you can sit outside in the summer and sometimes there is a saxophonist playing there." Magor is a lively, welcoming and family-friendly community, hosting events throughout the year, from wassailing in the community orchard to Christmas carols in Magor Square. The community is served both by a Church in Wales Primary School, which has close links with Magor's Church of St Mary the Virgin and also by Undy Primary School. From the doorstep of Sgubor Fach there is access to beautiful country walks. The property is situated close to the Severn Estuary, on the Gwent Levels, a landscape of international significance and home to a great diversity of wildlife.

This captivating, five-bedroom country property has cottagey charm, fresh, contemporary appeal and an incomparable long distance outlook over the Wye Valley. What makes this house special is the setting and the views. From the terrace at the back of the house you look towards Trellech on a clear day you can see the spire of Trellech Church - and then you can see 160 degrees all the way round to the eastern bank of the Wye above Tintern. For me, it was the first thing that drew me to the house and second was the setting, almost at the end of a no through road, where it is completely private and not overlooked. The Old Bakery has been sympathetically and extensively extended over many years, changing it from a cosy two-up, two down cottage to create a spacious and attractive home. It has been maintained in excellent condition by the vendors, who bought it 31 years ago and have had a wonderful family life there. It benefits from the loveliest of locations, with 0.63 acres of gardens and wonderful woodland walks from the doorstep. It is within walking distance of the sought-after village of Devauden, a vibrant and sociable community, well served by both a village shop and a garage, with a village hall. A variety of clubs and activities and a lively programme of village events, including an annual music festival. An ideal family home, The Old Bakery is in the catchment for Shirenewton Primary School, which has an excellent reputation. There are further educational establishments in Chepstow (4 miles) and those in Monmouth (12 miles) include the independent Haberdashers Monmouth Schools. The market towns of Monmouth and Chepstow provide a range of leisure facilities, independent shops, cafes and restaurants. Both have an M&S Foodhall and in Monmouth there is a Waitrose. The Old Bakery is also a convenient base for commuters, with good access to the motorway network, bringing Bristol, Newport and Cardiff within easy reach. There are intercity trains to London from Newport and Bristol Parkway and international flights from Bristol and Cardiff airports. STEP INSIDE:- - At the end of a peaceful, no-through country road, a wooden five bar gate opens onto a tree-lined tarmac lane, which leads to the property. There is a large gravelled parking area in front of a detached double garage and a wide pathway leads down to the main entrance door, set under a long storm porch. The main door opens to a charming quarry tiled hall, which doubles as a dining room. A door leads through to the characterful living room, part of the original cottage. The beams in this room, as elsewhere, have been painted white to give an airy, contemporary feel. There is a feature fireplace, believed to have been constructed from reclaimed stone from the property, with an old wooden mantel beam. The fireplace houses a Jotul woodburning stove. Because the old part of the house has such thick stone walls, this room is always cool in summer and lovely and in winter it is really comfy and cosy. From the living room there is a door to the kitchen, which, like the dining hall, has a quarry tiled floor. It is fitted with a range of wooden/wood effect kitchen units with Bosch integrated appliances and a freestanding AEG fridge freezer. In the centre of the room there is plenty of space for a breakfast table. The kitchen has a door to back garden where steps lead up to the generous rear terrace, which takes advantage of the Wye Valley outlook and makes a fantastic outdoor entertaining space. From the kitchen, two large windows overlook the back of the house whilst there's another window over the sink, looking towards the Wye Valley, with the sort of view which must make washing up sheer pleasure! Stairs lead up from the kitchen to a small landing, which widens out into a large study area, with a window to the front of the property. From the landing, a door opens to a sitting room, with French doors directly to the rear terrace. On this floor, there are also two well-presented bathrooms, both with baths and one with a separate shower cubicle. There is a bedroom with an ensuite WC, a further bedroom overlooking the front of the house and a principal bedroom with stunning views of the Wye Valley. This lovely room has an ensuite shower and a walk-in wardrobe. From the upstairs sitting room there is a door to an inner landing, off which there is a useful utility room. There is also a door to a long utility and storage area which runs from the front of the house to the back. This has double arched doors to the front and French doors to the back garden. From the inner landing, stairs rise to a further floor, above the long utility/storage area, where there are two bedrooms, one with an ensuite shower room. The vendors added these rooms in 2001 by raising the pitch of the roof at the west end of the house. One of these rooms is currently used as a home office. The property has hardwood double glazed windows throughout and the Worcester Bosch boiler was replaced in 2019. Outside - The property is built to fit the contours of a hillside, which explains the different internal levels. The sloping gardens at the back have been landscaped to provide a large, paved terrace which takes full advantage of the Wye Valley views. It is a big space, very good for barbeques and entertaining and excellent for a gin and tonic after work. Curved stone steps lead up from the terrace to a sloping grassed area, interspersed with mature trees and shrubs. From the front of the property, there are views over fields and wooded countryside. In front of the parking area there is a large flower bed and a sloping lawn. A path leads down from the parking area to the attractive storm porch, probably built in the 1920s, with a tiled roof and wooden supports. In front of this is a seating area. In the early spring it makes a nice place to sit, because it is south facing and sheltered from the wind.

This handsome former parsonage with 19 acres of land, a charming two-bedroom holiday cottage and five stables is set in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside, close to the England/Wales border and to the market town of Monmouth. Ideal for a family looking for a spacious country home, it is well situated for the excellent local schools, convenient for commuters, and offers the chance to keep horses, ponies or livestock and an opportunity to run and possibly further develop a lucrative tourism business. With an impressive, Georgian appearance yet with a wonderful, welcoming ambience, the Grade II listed house has six bedrooms, four reception rooms, a first floor library, adaptable attic rooms and study space for home working. The property was developed into an eighteenth century parsonage from a small seventeenth century farmhouse. It was extended further in the nineteenth century, when the Victorian wing was added. Its wealth of historic features include exposed beams and open fireplaces, formal Georgian rooms with high ceilings, decorative cornicing and period fireplaces and Victorian features including cast iron fire grates and built-in cupboards. "It is a generously proportioned house, but to me, it doesn't feel grand, it feels homely. It is lovely at all times of the year. In the summer it has a beautiful quiet coolness about it. In the winter, with the log burners going, it is brilliant for lying on the sofa with the dogs and watching TV. And it really comes into its own when you are having parties. It has a lovely flow and because of the great room sizes, you have to have a lot of people in the house before it feels even slightly full!" "What I also love about it is the land and my favourite view is looking back at the house from the fields." The house commands a lovely situation in the pretty village of Welsh Newton, in the extreme south west of Herefordshire, where it is surrounded by undulating countryside and wonderful walks, yet near to the A466 Hereford to Monmouth road, which gives good access to both the market town and the cathedral city. Some three and a half miles away, Monmouth has a variety of independent shops, tempting tea rooms and coffee shops and both a Waitrose and an M&S Food. It boasts good leisure and recreation facilities and nearby world-class golf courses. Welsh Newton is in the catchment area for Monmouth's well-regarded state schools. The Haberdashers' Monmouth independent boys' and girls' schools and the Llangattock School Monmouth with Monmouth Montessori Nursery are also nearby. From Monmouth, motorway links give easy access to Cardiff, Bristol and the Midlands, making Welsh Newton convenient for commuters. Step Inside:- - The house is approached along a circular carriage driveway. The attractive facade is almost symmetrical, with large sash windows, French doors onto the garden from the Victorian wing and a central entrance door with a canopied porch and a decorative fanlight over. The front door opens to a large hall which is full of historic character, with flagstone flooring, exposed beams and a beamed fireplace with a log burner. Through an archway, an attractive elliptical staircase leads to the first floor. To one side of the hall is a study and an inner hallway leads to a stunning, light and airy drawing room/family room. The elegant, high ceilinged drawing room has a period marble fireplace and French doors to the front of the property, with their original shutters.

Situated in the oldest part of the house is an atmospheric dining room, with flagstone flooring, an exposed stone wall and original beams. A corner fireplace, with a timber mantel, houses a wood burner. A wide, period ledge and brace door opens to the kitchen. There are lots of quirky, historic features in this house, like this doorway, which is supposed to be wide enough for cider barrels to be rolled through it. The kitchen has flagstone flooring and solid wood units with granite work surfaces. There's a halogen hob, a Bosch double oven and a Rayburn set into an alcove. A window over the kitchen sink looks out over a terrace and herb garden to the paddocks beyond. There is a utility room adjacent to the kitchen. In this part of the house there is also a cosy, dual aspect TV room, with a flagstone floor, a wood burner set in a fireplace with a wood mantel over and a Victor.. Upstairs, there are two pretty bedrooms in the Victorian wing, one with a similar built-in cupboard and a period fireplace with a cast iron grate. These two rooms share an adjacent shower room. Two further, charming bedrooms, one with exposed beams, share a bathroom. In the Georgian part of the house, two spacious double bedrooms each have an ensuite bathroom. The first floor accommodation also includes a large library with built-in shelving along one wall, a central, exposed beam, a window overlooking the front garden and a fireplace with a cast iron grate. Off the library is a study. The adaptable accommodation in the attic comprises two rooms each with a galleried area above and a further room with Velux roof windows and an exposed A-frame. There is also a bathroom on this floor. Outside - The property stands in lovely gardens, screened from the road by a large Beech hedge and established trees and planting. A large circular lawn to the front is bisected by a brook, alongside which there are mature trees including oak, sweet chestnut and a Corsican pine. There is also a large magnolia and along the front of the property are attractive shrub borders. There are enclosed, south-facing lawns at the side of the house and a paved terrace runs along the back of the property, where there is a herb terrace, an oblong fish pond and a further area of lawn. Alongside the house is a detached former barn which has been converted into a high quality, contemporary self-catering unit with a cottagey feel and a successful letting history. There's a ground floor bedroom and a charming loft bedroom with exposed oak beams. Both bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and there is a large open plan living space, comprising kitchen, breakfast area and sitting room. Outside there is a parking area for two cars and a lawned garden. The grounds also include a stable block with five stables, a level area of land previously used for a manège and three well-fenced fields, currently used for keeping sheep but ideal as horse paddocks. There could be scope to further develop the tourism business, subject to planning, with the amount of land providing, for example, the opportunity for holiday yurts.

Saint Arvans

USD 962,854

In a tranquil spot near ancient Wentwood Forest, this lovely four-bedroom country cottage has been sympathetically converted and extended from a modest, nineteenth century farmhouse and its adjoining stable. Oaklands provides well-presented, family-sized accommodation and oozes character and charm, with exposed beams and rustic whitewashed walls. It stands in gardens and grounds of approximately a third of an acre near the Monmouthshire village of Llanvaches. From its elevated setting it enjoys superb, far-reaching views to Wentwood reservoir and Wentwood Forest. The Severn Estuary can be seen through the trees and it looks up to Gray Hill, known for its Bronze Age stone circle. It is right on the edge of Wentwood Forest, which is the largest ancient woodland in Wales and the ninth largest in the UK. For the vendors, it has been a very special home: "There are not many places where you get a view like this. It is absolutely stunning. It has been a fantastic family home and it's a great environment to be brought up in. It's excellent mountain biking territory and we would go running as well. If you live around here, it is almost mandatory to have a dog as there are so many lovely dog walks. This area is also very popular with horse riders." Ideal for those who enjoy nature, wildlife and the great outdoors, the cottage is also well situated for commuting - the vendor works in Gloucester. The cottage benefits from convenient access to the A48 and onward to the M4, bringing Bristol and Cardiff within easy reach and there is also good access to the A449 and M50 for travel to the Midlands. About two miles away, Llanvaches is a popular village with an active community life and a traditional country pub. The vendors' children attended school in nearby Caerleon. "The bus for the comprehensive school stopped outside the front door." For supermarkets, shops and further facilities, there's a choice of Newport or Chepstow, which are roughly equidistant (9-10 miles) or Caldicot, some 7 miles away. Step inside:- - The cottage is set alongside a quiet country lane, from which it is well screened. A track leads round the cottage to a double garage with space in front for three cars. There is additional space for one car on a cobbled area in front of the cottage. The former farmhouse, built some time before 1835, now incorporates a converted attached stable to one end and a modern extension to the other. There are oak framed windows to the front and side of the property and all the windows are double glazed. From the front porch, an oak stable door opens to a formal dining room, in the oldest part of the house. This room has exposed ceiling beams, a riven slate floor and antique-style brass wall and ceiling lights. A wood burning stove set on a raised stone hearth makes a cosy seating area at one end. At the other end of the room another fireplace has been blocked up but left as a feature. Two windows look out over the front gardens. From the back of the room, a door leads to a rear hallway, where there's an oak entrance door. This leads from the back garden and is the access which the vendors use most. From the hallway, four flagstone steps with a rope banister lead down to a wonderful, light and airy sitting room, converted from the former stable. There is an exposed stone feature wall and three windows each frame different views. A floor-to-ceiling window has external oak shutters but the house is so private that the vendors do not feel the need for curtains and in the evenings, enjoy the night sky. "There is very little light pollution here so you get fantastic views of the stars." In an extension at the other end of the cottage there is a spacious farmhouse-style kitchen with a ceramic tiled floor, exposed ceiling beams, a range of Shaker-style units and space in the middle for a family dining table. The kitchen windows gives views over the garden and the bank to the side of the house. "In the mornings, we enjoy watching the wildlife there." The downstairs accommodation is completed by a recently refurbished shower room. Open tread stairs from the hallway lead to up to four bedrooms. The stunning principal bedroom has a soaring ceiling open to the exposed A-frame. Three windows let in plenty of light. "The one at the foot of the bed has the best view of all, looking up to Gray Hill, Wentwood Forest and Wentwood Reservoir and out over fields where there are often sheep." The principal bedroom benefits from a large in-built storage cupboard and an en-suite bathroom with a fitted vanity unit. There is a drencher shower over the bath, as well as a hand shower. At the other end of the house there is another delightful double bedroom, also exposed to the A-frame. In between, in the oldest part of the house, are two charming double bedrooms, each with an original fireplace. In the larger of the two there is a useful cupboard and an access hatch to boarded roof storage space. The first floor accommodation also includes a family bathroom, with a bath with shower taps. Outside - The cottage stands in mature gardens of about a third of an acre, with an adjacent area of about 2.74 acres of woodland and grassland, where there are two small stone outbuildings, one derelict, one converted to a bat shelter. The lawns around the property are bordered by established trees and shrubs with a wall along one side, all providing a high degree of privacy. There is also fruit orchard. The level front lawn provides a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the long-distance views. "In winter, when the trees have lost their leaves you can see to the Severn Estuary and the two Severn bridges". At the back of the house, there is a cosy outside seating area where the vendors like to have breakfast or coffee. The back garden is dog-proof.

VENDOR INSIGHT - "Ruthlin Mill is a superb property nestling in a green oasis of gardens, grassland, woodland, and river. It is a beautiful and tranquil oasis that has been the much loved home of the present owners for the past fifteen years. Ruthlin Mill began life in the sixteenth century as a grain mill and then became the first mechanised paper mill in Wales. The vendors explain that they initially fell in love with the fantastic location but knew they could remodel the property to their design. Working with an architect they retained the original walls to keep the sense of the mill as an industrial building, and within the walls created an ecologically designed, chic and comfortable Interior. They love the entire house, but the garden room, which stretches across the back of the property, is their favourite place to relax and entertain. It overlooks the gardens, woodland and the riverbank, and it is pure joy to sit and watch the changing seasons. A winter snowfall remains undisturbed, white, and sparkling across the landscape. There is always a magical view and it is also nature lover's paradise for observing wildlife that includes a visiting otter and kingfisher. Ruthlin Mill is a home that welcomes visitors, and the owners recall many brilliant summer parties on the patio, which is complete with pizza oven. Eighteen months ago, they hosted their daughter's wedding when over two hundred guests were able to enjoy the gardens and the magical night time atmosphere created by the tree lights. The two bed self contained annexe is perfect for overflow visitors or multi generational living. It has also been a successful holiday let. The house stands in over thirteen acres which consist of a delightful mix of gardens, a quarter of a mile of riverbank along the Monnow River, and also the wow factor of the electrically operated water wheel. The garden is divided into formal areas and informal woodland zones. There is an excellent kitchen garden and a well established orchard where the fifteen trees provide a good annual harvest. It is a loved and well used garden where there is nothing better than settling by the riverbank for an evening glass of wine, or an afternoon of fishing. The charming Swedish log cabin is where you can host a barbecue for twelve, and there is stabling for the horse owner. The garden is a serene sanctuary where you can simply savour being a part of this very special setting. The house sits on the edge of friendly, picturesque, and active Skenfrith village with its award winning pub and restaurant. It also has its own castle and if you follow one of the many local walks you can enjoy the views over the village and Monmouth Valley. The vendors are moving to be closer to family and will miss the privacy, space and beauty of Ruthlin Mill but take away many happy memories and are sure the new owners will love it as they have. Ruthlin Mill is a truly rare and special property. Outside - Step outside to become totally enchanted as you wander around the private 13.7 acres of land, a captivating parcel of peace cocooned in nature and surrounded by sweeping views.

The cottage is embedded within the stunning countryside of Monmouthshire between the villages of Newcastle and Skenfrith, off a quiet country lane and via a private driveway.

The dual aspect windows mean that wherever you sit within this delightful sitting room a captivating view is flooding your vision. Character has not been forgotten in this additional space with exposed beams and a brick and stone baking oven alcove in the corner adding period charm.

VENDOR INSIGHT:- - "Cae Graig holds a significant place in my family's heart, having been in our possession since 1961. Originally bought by my parents, subsequent generations, including my grandparents and later my own children, have called it home, and so it holds immense sentimental value for me." "This property embodies a traditional farmhouse aesthetic, extended by various enhancements over the years. Its core structure traces back to the early 1800s, with expansions in 1992 and 2000. This natural setting, abounding with diverse flora and fauna such as cowslips, primroses, and bluebells, offers a serene atmosphere filled with birdsong."

The expansive sitting room provides ample space for large gatherings or quiet relaxation, while offering picturesque vistas of the courtyard and surrounding woodland from every vantage point."

Beneath the unpolluted night sky, devoid of intrusive streetlights, we have spent many magical evenings mesmerised by the stars. The wood, which the garden leads into, is a magical place, filled with a whole host of beautiful birdsong."

Nestled in the Monmouthshire countryside in the highly desirable village of Bettws Newydd, overlooking its own grounds and the woodlands of the Usk Valley, sits this magnificent, high quality country property. A rare find, this large five-bedroom home has two spacious and characterful reception rooms, a lovely formal dining room and a farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room that's provided a hub for family life. The property has been lovingly maintained by the vendors for the past 20 years, during which time they have added a stunning Amdega conservatory to take full advantage of the peaceful, private location and the idyllic rural views. The property sits in gardens and grounds of approximately 1.4 acres. It enjoys truly special, neatly-tended, south-facing walled gardens, full of mature shrubs and planted for seasonal colour and there is a paddock of approximately half an acre nearest the house. "We were looking for a rural lifestyle and we were attracted by the location, which is close to Usk and Abergavenny, two historic towns which we knew well. It is also commutable to Cardiff, Bristol, Hereford and Cheltenham. Bettws Newydd is a premium village with an ancient church, lovely old pub and one of the oldest yew trees in the country." The vendors were also drawn to the property's historic charm and the way its careful and stylish conversion, some 10 years previously, had seamlessly blended 200-year-old farm buildings with new additions, built using matching reclaimed stone under a welsh slate roof and featuring oak beams, and solid wood doors "You are conscious both of a sense of history and of the exceptional build quality." The picturesque Monmouthshire village of Bettws Newydd is about 3.5 miles north of the pretty riverside market town of Usk, where there is a Church in Wales Primary School. It is about 7 miles from the shops, schools and facilities in the larger medieval market town of Abergavenny. The property is also ideally positioned for access to Monmouth (12.8 miles distant). The name of the village means "new prayer house in Welsh", as it was founded by the 6th century Irish Saint Aedan of Ferns. The grounds of Lodge Farm adjoin those of the lovely, ancient church of St Aeddan's, which is Grade I listed and where the veteran yews include one of particular age and notoriety. It's the church where the vendors' son got married, with the reception being held in a marquee in the property's gorgeous gardens. The Usk Valley Walk runs through the area and near the village is a large Iron Age hillfort at Coed-y-bwnydd, in the care of the National Trust. The village pub and restaurant, The Black Bear Inn, is a short stroll from the property. The vendors also enjoy a lovely country walk from their door, up to the hillfort and over the hill to The Clytha Arms - "frequently voted as the best real ale pub in Wales". Step Inside:- - The house has a charming ambience and a wonderful flow, with a spacious, airy feel. "It is south-facing so the rooms have lots of light, which is quite unusual for an old property. We also have beautiful views from the house, looking down the Usk Valley and to the Black Mountains beyond" The front door opens from a clay paviour courtyard to a large and attractive entrance/dining hall, with an oak beam and exposed stone pillars adding character. This room is used for formal dining and entertaining. Meanwhile, the large farmhouse kitchen, converted from a former single-storey cowshed, is the heart of the family home. With space for a large table for informal get-togethers, it has characterful exposed ceiling timbers and slate flooring. It is fitted with cottage-style wall and base units and features an Aga which runs on LPG. The worksurfaces are granite and limestone tiles have been used for the splashback behind the Aga. The kitchen sink is placed under a window overlooking the courtyard. Next door to the kitchen is a useful fitted utility room with a Belfast sink, space and plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. The other side of the kitchen is a cosy snug/study with built-in cupboards and shelving and a fireplace, with a wooden surround, housing an LPG fire. There are two fabulous reception rooms leading off from the dining room, both full of character. They both overlook the gardens and have French doors to a sunny patio. The drawing room has feature beams and ceiling timbers. An imposing stone fireplace with a rustic oak mantel houses a large multi-fuel stove. The sitting room, part of a converted 200-year-old barn, has exposed beams and an exposed stone wall and there is a wood burning stove in an open fireplace. A door from the sitting room opens to the stunning cedar wood Amdega conservatory. This was added to the property 15 years ago, in a style that is in sympathy with the rest of the house. It has limestone flooring with electric underfloor heating and features the exposed stone exterior walls of the property. It makes a wonderful, atmospheric dining and entertaining space. "It's a great addition for all seasons and it gives a sense of living in the garden." The conservatory also links the main property to a further utility area and a double garage with an ensuite bedroom over. The vendors currently use the garage space as a gym and for a sauna. With its own independent heating/hot water system, there is potential for this part of the property to be converted into an annexe , subject to planning permission. In the main house, there is also a downstairs WC, whilst from the dining hall, a staircase leads up to the first floor landing. The beautiful principal suite has a walk-through dressing room with bespoke oak wardrobes along one side. The wardrobes continue along two walls of the bedroom. This room has a vaulted ceiling featuring exposed timbers. French doors open to a balcony with lovely views over the walled garden and the pastureland and wooded Usk Valley beyond. There is a luxurious ensuite with a bath and a steam shower. There are three further, charming double bedrooms, one with a well-presented open plan walk in shower and the others served by a family bathroom with a slate floor, bath.. Outside - The house enjoys a secluded situation, off a quiet lane in the most historic part of the village. A private driveway leads to ample parking space for four cars in front of the double garage/annexe. The house sits in beautiful, mature, formal gardens bordered by walls constructed of reclaimed stone. The garden features some lovely established trees and is planted with spring bulbs and shrubs including a mature fig tree, rhododendrons, azaleas, magnolias, hydrangeas. There is a large patio for outdoor dining and a sun trap gravelled garden area is used for barbeques.

This has the potential to be a pony paddock and the vendors also considered siting a tennis court there. "We love the tranquillity of Lodge Farm, as well as being surrounded by beautiful countryside and wildlife within the Bettws Newydd conservation area.
