Sellers Insight

Nestled within a generous parcel of land in the charming village of Penyclawdd, this impressive, majestic, family home enjoys an enviable position between the vibrant market towns of Monmouth and Abergavenny. Surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of the Black Mountains and its surroundings, The Old Vicarage is a truly special property that has been a much loved family home for John and Olivia.

“When we were relocating to this beautiful part of Wales, we had a very clear vison of what we were seeking; a spacious home, full of character, ideally situated for both family life and our daughters’ schooling. We rented whilst we searched until, one day, we were introduced to The Old Vicarage. It had not yet come onto the property market so could only view from the outside. However, even before crossings its threshold, we instinctively knew this would be our perfect home – and it has proven to be exactly that.”

“Our house offers an exceptional sense of space, paired with a natural elegance throughout. High ceilings, large windows and beautifully proportioned rooms create a light and welcoming atmosphere, whilst its timeless character allowed our furniture to blend seamlessly into our home. The generous and highly practical accommodation has perfectly suited our family life, whilst also offering ample space for entertaining friends and family. A particular favourite is our garden room, where panoramic views across the surrounding countryside provide a spectacular backdrop throughout the changing seasons. Outside, the beautifully arranged spaces for dining and relaxation make the most of the stunning setting and have been endlessly enjoyed”

“Within the grounds sits an old coach house, which we have thoughtfully and imaginatively converted into a peaceful, stylish, retreat and here Olivia has created an independent studio and holistic centre – a wonderfully tranquil and versatile addition to the property.”

“Despite its idyllic seclusion, everything needed for modern life is within easy reach. Wonderful walks begin directly from the doorstep, and the surrounding area is ideal for numerous outdoor interests; equestrian pursuits being very popular. The village hall offers a pre-school for under five year olds and also hosts community events. The delightful town of Abergavenny, famous for its annual food festival, is close by, as is historic Monmouth, while excellent transport connections provide convenient access further afield.”

“This has been a deeply happy home, filled with treasured memories, but the time has come for our next adventure. Whoever comes to live here will undoubtedly discover the same exceptional quality of life that has made The Old Vicarage, in its brilliant location, such a remarkable place to call home.*
