Shirenewton, Chepstow

Moon & Co. are delighted to offer to the market The Brooklands which comprises an attractive principally stone built farmhouse, originally forming part of the impressive Curre Estate and located in the same area as Itton Court, the seat of the Curre family.

The current vendors purchased the property approximately 43 years ago and have over the years carried out extensive and thorough improvements but at the same time retaining much of the character and charm. The house therefore offers both the attractions of modern amenities along with period features. Standing within its own attractive gardens with large mature orchard, the house also benefits from an adjacent 5 acre field with additional mature woodland and natural stream, all positioned in an idyllic location on the periphery of the sought-after villages of Shirenewton and Mynyddbach, which benefit from good local communities to include well respected village school and is also close to the historic town of Chepstow, with excellent road access via the M48 to the M4 motorway network to Cardiff, Bristol and beyond.
