4 bed detached house for sale

Llanishen, Chepstow, Monmouthshire NP16

The property is a charming cottage enjoying a private, secluded setting within the beautiful Monmouthshire countryside. The accommodation comprises four bedrooms, a family bathroom, two reception rooms, a kitchen/dining room, utility room and guest cloakroom. The property offers excellent potential for extension and enhancement, subject to the necessary consents. The detached, single-storey stone barns provide scope for renovation, with potential to create ancillary accommodation, an annexe or substantial second dwelling. There is also potential to add a conservatory adjoining the kitchen/dining room to further enjoy the views. The attached ruin, complete with its original inglenook fireplace, was formerly arranged over two storeys and presents a further renovation opportunity. Deceptively spacious, the cottage flows naturally from the porch to the sitting room, kitchen/dining room and garden room beyond.

Turning onto the drive and winding through the grounds, the house only becomes evident as you round the final corner and the views open up before you. Ty Llwyd Farm's sizeable, partially tiered gardens and grounds offer attractive lawns, terraces, and an abundance of native shrubs and trees, all surrounded by farmland. A brook runs along the bottom of the garden, creating a true wildlife haven. However, despite the interest of the grounds themselves, your focus will always be drawn back to the astonishing views, which are so difficult to replicate in photographs. There is plenty of parking and, with two driveways leading to the property from the lane, the detached barns could be served by a separate private access.

The property sits on the edge of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, overlooking the Usk Valley towards the Sugarloaf Mountain in Abergavenny. It is equidistant from the Welsh border towns of Chepstow and Monmouth.
Despite its rural position, local facilities are close by. The attractive Llanishen village is situated on the Chepstow to Monmouth road. It has a thriving community spirit centred around its village hall, the popular Carpenters Arms pub, a shop, café and church. The village of Trellech is also only a couple of miles away with a primary school, doctors' surgery and the renowned Lion Inn. Secondary schools include Chepstow and Monmouth Comprehensive schools as well as Monmouth, Dean Close St John's and Rougemont private schools. There are excellent rail links at Chepstow and Severn Tunnel Junction and easy access to the M48 and the motorway network to South Wales, the West and the Midlands.
