Model Cottages, Mathern

Welcome to one of Mathern’s most iconic homes, a truly special dwelling within a charming row of period homes known as Model Cottages. Grade II listed and steeped in history, these distinctive homes were built in 1891 for workers on the nearby Wyelands Estate. Full of character and proudly cared for by the same owners for almost 50 years, this two-bedroom property is a rare find, combining beautiful period features with everyday practicality in a peaceful village setting.

Inside, you’re welcomed by a hallway that instantly tells a story, raised skirtings, architraves, original doors and even the quarry tiled floor hiding beneath the carpet. On the right, the cosy sitting room features a lovely bay window and stone fireplace, perfect for relaxing with views over the garden. Opposite, the dining room offers flexibility, currently used as a third bedroom, with two character windows and another period fireplace.

Towards the rear, the kitchen has space for a breakfast table and is ideal for those looking to put their own stamp on it. Off the kitchen, there’s a small boot room and down the hall you will find a pantry and a large shower room, all of which could be reconfigured to suit your needs. Upstairs, two comfortable double bedrooms await, with the main bedroom boasting vaulted ceilings, a period fireplace, and countryside views through the window, the perfect spot to watch village life pass by.

Outside, The stone-walled gardens front and back are mature and full of charm. There’s a pretty veranda at the front, ideal for a morning coffee, and a peaceful rear garden that feels private and green. The property also benefits from off-road parking for two cars and a double garage, a practical bonus not often found with period homes.

Mathern is a picturesque Monmouthshire village with a friendly pub, village hall, historic church and access to scenic walks including the Wales Coast Path. Chepstow is just a few miles away for shops, schools and restaurants, while the M48 offers easy links to Bristol, Newport and Cardiff. Whether you’re heading into town or out for a countryside stroll, everything is within easy reach — but the best part will always be coming home.

While we’ve done our best to make sure everything is accurate, we recommend double-checking the details with your solicitor. We haven’t tested any of the services or appliances, so we can’t guarantee they’re in working order.

In most cases, we don’t get any financial incentives for doing this, but there may be a few instances where we do. Rest assured, anyone using a recommended provider won’t receive preferential treatment and it won't affect their position or priority over other interested parties. Their choice is always their own.
