Whitebrook, Monmouth

Occupying a prominent position within the sought-after Monmouthshire village of Whitebrook, situated in a tranquil location within the heart of the Lower Wye Valley and retaining easy access to the market towns of Monmouth and Chepstow. This is an exciting and very rare opportunity to acquire a Grade II Listed former church having been sympathetically restored by the current owners to provide a fantastic and unique home. Old Trinity Church dates back to 1836 and affords a wealth of original characterful features combining contemporary fixtures and fittings, affording fantastic deceptively spacious and versatile living accommodation arranged over two floors with the added benefit of a ground floor double bedroom and shower room, which will no doubt cater for multi-generational living needs. The layout briefly comprises; entrance porch, entrance hall, substantial open plan sitting/dining/living area as well as steps up to a formal dining area, kitchen, double bedroom and shower/utility room, the first floor affords a galleried landing area, two double bedrooms, family bathroom and a further sitting area or a potential fourth bedroom. The property enjoys gardens to both the front, side and the rear whilst offering stunning views across the village and towards surrounding countryside. There is the option to purchase the adjoining paddock by separate negotiation which will really create a sizeable plot. Further benefits include an extensive private gated driveway and additional garden area to the rear with the potential to be a delightful walled courtyard garden. Offered with the benefit of no onward chain, we would strongly recommend arranging a viewing to appreciate what Old Trinity Church has to offer.

The small village is situated in the Lower Wye Valley, in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it a good base for those who enjoy the outdoors - walking, climbing, cycling, canoeing, riding and enjoying beautiful scenery and wildlife. On the west (Welsh) side of the River Wye, Whitebrook is mid-way between the village of Tintern, with its renowned Cistercian abbey and the market town of Monmouth. Lining this town's historic streets and tucked away in pretty courtyards are a variety of independent shops, tempting tea rooms and coffee shops and there's a Lidl, a Waitrose and an M&S Food. Monmouth hosts regular markets and a busy programme of events, boasts good leisure and recreation facilities and nearby world-class golf courses. For live entertainment and film, there's a choice of The Savoy Theatre and The Blake Theatre.

Whitebrook is approximately 3.5 miles from Trellech Primary School and the reputation of Monmouth's state schools, the Haberdashers' Monmouth independent boys' and girls' schools and the nearby Llangattock School Monmouth with Monmouth Montessori Nursery make this area popular with families. There are a number of good pubs and restaurants in the vicinity of Whitebrook, including Michelin-starred The Whitebrook.
