This luxurious, custom-designed, oak-frame house has been designed down to the last detail to provide flowing, light-filled, three-to-four bedroom accommodation in a stunning and peaceful spot in the Monmouthshire countryside.

Offering an idyllic country lifestyle, this truly special, contemporary property could be your forever family home.

Rowan Lodge is located in the picturesque, scattered hamlet of Lydart, where it is within the Wye Valley National Landscape. This area of outstanding natural beauty is known for its breathtaking scenery, meandering river, wonderful walks and cycle rides, ancient castles and historic buildings, including renowned Tintern Abbey.

Rural, but not isolated, the property is ideally situated for commuters, with motorway links giving easy access to Newport (24 miles), Cardiff (36miles), Bristol (30 miles) and the Midlands. Within a ten-minute drive, the vibrant town of Monmouth (4 miles) offers a range of independent shops, famous High Street brands such as Waitrose and Marks and Spencer and a variety of cafés, pubs and restaurants. Monmouth hosts regular markets and a busy programme of events and it 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. There are a number of good local pubs and restaurants and two nearby one-star Michelin restaurants, The Walnut Tree and The Whitebrook. 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 the area very attractive for families. Trelleck Primary School is conveniently within three miles of the property.

Step Inside: - Rowan Lodge is a modern masterpiece which combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary luxury. It is finished to an exceptional standard, with high quality materials and fittings. Exposed oak timbers and solid wood floors are a feature throughout.

A glazed entrance door opens from an attractive open porch to a hallway, with neat, built-in cloaks cupboards to one side. A door from the hallway leads to a stunning, zoned family room, flooded with natural light from two sets of bifold doors which frame the views of the garden and countryside beyond and create a seamless flow onto a wide paved terrace, perfect for outdoor entertaining and soaking up the surroundings.

The family room is divided into three distinct areas, comprising a sleek and stylish, high specification kitchen, a cosy sitting area focussed around a wood burning stove in an oak-beamed open fireplace and a dining area with a vaulted ceiling, which is overlooked by the first floor gallery landing.

The ground floor accommodation also features a double bedroom, currently used as a home office and with the flexibility to be a living room. It has built-in cupboards along one wall and a set of glazed doors to the garden. Across the hallway from this room there is a well-fitted shower room and a useful utility room.

From one corner of the family room, a solid oak staircase rises to the vaulted galleried landing above the dining area. Light floods into the space from four, large, strategically-placed Velux windows. There is a fifth Velux window directly over the stairs.

Off the landing are three delightful double bedrooms, all open to the eaves and featuring the exposed oak roof timbers. The main bedroom is filled with natural light, with Velux windows in the vaulted roof and, in the end wall, large windows and apex windows which all frame the glorious countryside views. The charming bedroom has a stylish ensuite shower room with twin wash basins set in a modern vanity unit.

The two further bedrooms each have built-in wardrobes and they share a beautifully presented family bathroom.

Outside - Rowan Lodge is approached through an electrically-operated, wooden five- bar gate which opens to a gravel driveway, providing parking for several cars in front of the house. The glorious gardens, secluded by mature hedging, comprise a manicured level lawn with well-tended, well-stocked flower borders. There is a wide paved terrace in front of the family room, enjoying wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. The gardens also include an L-shaped garden shed.
