Description

AVAILABLE FOR VIEWINGS This fine example of a Grade II Listed late Georgian country residence dating from about 1817 is understood to have been built from plans drawn up by Walter Gwatkin of Chepstow. Situated in the beautiful Vale of Usk, this substantial home of just over 3000 sq ft, is arranged over two floors and comprises five reception rooms, seven bedrooms, a modern fitted kitchen with utility/storerooms, and a family bathroom. There is a detached coach house in the grounds, plus gardens and woodland surrounding the property of circa 1.9 acres. Also included, is circa 6.2 acres of Glebe land which is currently let under a farm business tenancy for which notice to quit has been served (tenancy ends Feb 2023). Ideally situated in a semi-rural setting, this geographically centrally placed residence offers ease of access to a good road network for connectivity to the surrounding market towns of Usk, Raglan, Monmouth and Abergavenny, as well as further afield to Bristol, Newport and Cardiff. The property would benefit from cosmetic updating and offers scope for improvement and enhancement to suit individual lifestyle preferences. The ground floor configuration is highly conducive to home working given the garden access to both sides of the house.The house is noted by Cadw as being a well proportioned Georgian Rectory, retaining some original features. Handsome in appearance, the property is presented with whitewashed render under a slate roof with 12-pane hornless sashes with stone sills to the original front elevation and a centre door with attractive arched fan light over. The original plans for the house show it in its present form but with a single storey to either side of the principal two storey design containing a dairy and a brewhouse. These single storeys have since been adapted to create a large double storey to the left in the 1930's forming a family size room with generous triple aspect master bedroom above and to the right, incorporating a kitchen with useful utility room and store. In Accordance with our client's charitable status (Registered Charity Number: 1142813), the property may remain on the open market until exchange of contracts; our clients reserve the right to consider any other offer which is forthcoming. N.B. This property will be sold subject to our client's standard covenants, further details of which are available upon request.
