Garway Mill, Garway, HR2

Set on the banks of the river Monnow, this pretty former water mill was built in 1835. The two upper floors have been cleverly converted to provide two bedrooms and two spacious reception rooms with a wealth of original features tastefully exposed and embellished. The 2.66 acres of grounds and gardens have much sought-after fishing rights, both double and single bank, for approximately a mile.

Garway is a short drive away with a thriving village hall, a pub and primary school, as is Skenfrith. Access to the major road networks is via nearby Monmouth and Ross-and-Wye. There are railway stations in Hereford and Abergavenny.

Garway Mill is constructed in stone with inset wooden windows and doors on the first and second floors, all set under a combination of clay pan-tiled and tiled roofs. Features include vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, trusses, exposed stonework, fireplaces, ceramic tiled and boarded floors and Scandinavian woodburners. Some of the mill stones have been retained and placed nearby.
