Llanvaches, Caldicot

This beautiful property originally known as "Greenacre Cottage," has changed hands several times over the years. In the mid-nineties a local businessman acquired it through auction. Opting for modernisation, he demolished the original structure and erected a larger, contemporary home for himself and his family. This new abode boasted a purpose-built basement, which still remains in situ today, and provides a superb flexible space with multi-functional usage. While the cottage was replaced with a modern structure, the old stone barn, showing signs of decay, was restored using materials salvaged from the original dwelling.

Furthermore, remnants of the demolished cottage were repurposed to construct a retaining wall encircling the new residence. The property exchanged hands again in 2005, finding new occupants in a young family who resided there until 2018. Since this date the current vendors have lovingly restored, renovated and reconfigured Greenacre House transforming it into a magnificent property suited for both family life and entertaining. Situated in a quaint hamlet to the west of the village of Llanvaches, the property offers breathtaking views of the panoramic landscape, beautifully framed from both inside and outside of the residence.

Stepping through the canopied front entrance door there is a spacious reception hallway, this hall serves as the central hub to all ground floor rooms, fostering a seamless flow throughout the home.

VENDOR INSIGHTS:
We fell in love with Greenacre House the minute we came down the track and opened our car doors to hear nothing but bird song, but twenty years on from being built, the house was in serious need of a face lift!

All three bathrooms have been replaced with modern suites; the integral garage has been replaced with a further reception room and a large utility room and the basement has been remodelled to include a gym, office, hobby room and wine cellar.
