Llanwenarth, Abergavenny, NP7

Occupying a private position on the southern slopes of the Sugar Loaf and enjoying splendid views over St Mary’s Vale and across the valley towards the Vale of Usk in the distance, is this three double bedroomed country cottage sitting in grounds of approximately 1.44 acres.  In a rural position and approached via a byway, this country home is the perfect “get away from it all” residence which whilst accessible by car, is equally reachable on foot from the centre of Abergavenny which is under 2 miles away.  The grounds encompass a large south facing sun terrace, lawned gardens, a natural woodland and a small paddock, and for car drivers, there is off road parking and outbuildings equipped with power.

An almost off grid property with spring water supply, private drainage and electric heating both underfloor and via slim radiators, the cottage has been a welcome retreat from the madding crowd by the same family for over 20 years and during this time has been the subject of updating.  Entered through a hallway, the ground floor features a spacious triple aspect kitchen with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams overlooking the surrounding countryside which opens into a large reception space with stone fireplace.  In addition to a double bedroom and bathroom on this floor, there are two further double bedrooms and a contemporary shower suite upstairs.  This home has heaps of storage with a deep eaves storage cupboard, plus a carpeted eaves room with window and power which whilst having restricted head height, has been used as occasional overflow bed space for small visitors. There are two further boot/cloaks cupboards on the ground floor.

This home is offered to the market with no connected chain and will suit buyers seeking a home away from the town centre but with easy accessibility to services and shops when needed.
