Llandevaud, Newport, NP18

Creating an idyllic country retreat for equestrian enthusiasts. With its long private tree lined drive, professional stable accommodations and approx 4.5 acres of paddocks enclosed by traditional stone walls, this impressive country property checks all the boxes for equestrian living while also providing flexible space ripe for a variety of uses.

Stepping inside the front door, the warm and welcoming entrance hall features limestone floors flowing underfoot by Mandarin Stone. This wonderful space leads off to a light filled kitchen, living rooms at both ends of the barn, a handy utility room and cloakroom.

The sociable kitchen and breakfast room features a palette of cream Shaker-style cabinetry complemented by striking grey and black marble floors. Quartz countertops accommodate a ceramic sink and modern appliances, including an integrated fridge/freezer, gas range oven, and dishwasher. The space also contains a large pantry and corner larder. Barstool seating at the oak breakfast bar makes this room conducive for casual dining too. The utility room contains generous quartz countertops with an inset stainless steel sink and plumbing for laundry appliances. Attached, the cloakroom offers a vanity sink unit and WC.

To the front, the cosy sitting room provides a wonderful spot for relaxing next to the gas log burner fireplace or admiring pastoral views from the dual aspect windows. Just beyond, the elegant dining room also enjoys dual outlooks from two sets of windows along with a shelved stone wall ideal for showing off heirlooms.

Further on, another living room provides another wonderfully snug yet airy room thanks to the two windows, another gas log burner and oak floors underfoot. Half-glazed French doors open outside to a charming stone-walled side porch.

Upstairs, two staircases lead to three well-proportioned bedrooms that receive ample natural light. The landing off the main staircase provides access to two guest rooms and the family bathroom equipped with a tub and shower for ultimate convenience. The second staircase leads exclusively to the private main retreat with its own en-suite shower room where there are views all around.

Throughout the home, classic finishes like exposed beams, brickwork and hardwood double glazed windows let the authentic charm shine while modern touches like spot lighting, central heating and integrated appliances maximise comfort and convenience.

Outside a long winding driveway leads through the countryside ultimately approaching the main residence. Mature trees and landscaping flank both sides of the drive, including an orchard with apple trees. As you approach the barn there is ample space to accommodate numerous vehicles along with a double carport.

Creating an ideal entertaining space, a decked terrace adjoins the home providing seating amidst the lush established gardens and garden lighting. Beyond, extremely well-defined paddocks offer picturesque views behind stone wall fencing.

Away from the house there is a stable block consisting of four individual stalls suitable for housing horses. There's even solar panels for your power needs. Nearby, a vast tractor shed/garage includes twin powered roller shutter doors. Above the garage sits a refurbished open room lending itself well as an office, studio space or possible residential accommodations pending planning approval.

The village of Llandevaud, this conversion boasts an enviable location near the M4 motorway for quick commuter access. The Celtic Manor Resort and Golf Club provides first-class leisure facilities just a short drive away. The barn also sits within easy reach of Chepstow and its wealth of shops and restaurants.
