Lower Common, Gilwern, NP7

This most attractive stone dressed period residence sits in an enviable spot in the favoured Lower Common area of Gilwern and enjoys distant hillside views over its large westerly rear gardens towards the hillside beyond.  Occupying a plot size of approximately 0.2 of an acre, this detached family home is generously proportioned with four double bedrooms, three reception rooms and a spacious shower room on the ground floor.  Extended over time, a kitchen / breakfast room spans the width of the house at the rear and whilst the property might benefit from cosmetic updating, there are many character features including heavy panelled doors and fireplaces in the reception rooms and three of the bedrooms.  This home has been sympathetically upgraded and benefits from double glazed sash style windows befitting the property’s heritage, an attached garage, and a sizeable workshop in the garden equipped with power and a gardener’s wc. 

Double fronted with a hipped roof and chimney stacks to either end, this is a generously proportioned property but given its plot size and access to either side of the house, offers the potential for further extension or development to suit, subject to the necessary planning consent.
