Hereford Road, Abergavenny, NP7

This handsome six bedroomed Edwardian period home has a large double storey tile hung bay window overlooking its broad south facing sun terrace which enjoys the most extraordinary view towards the Blorenge.  Sitting in gardens of about 0.44 of an acre, this fine family home is arranged over four floors and has retained an array of period features which complement its more contemporary enhancements including cornice ceilings, plate and picture rails, stripped floorboards, herringbone parquet flooring and stained glass leaded light windows.

The three reception rooms are set around a large spacious hallway with the kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and cloakroom found at the rear of the property.  Upstairs there are five first floor bedrooms, one of them having an en-suite and the remaining rooms being served by an exceptional six piece bathroom suite which also hosts a Nordic sauna.  The staircase continues up to the second floor and the sixth bedroom which is dual aspect with exposed roof trusses, walk-in eaves storage and an ensuite shower room.

Outside, the private grounds encircle the house and lie predominantly to the front to take advantage of the spectacular hillside vista.  There are extensive off road parking facilities which are accessed from the rear in addition to a large garden store.

This is a substantial property which offers a good level of storage in its eaves cupboards, plus in its cellar which has the benefit of natural light and a solid floor.  The property has been the subject of improvement works and has mains wired smoke detectors on each floor plus an electrical inspection conducted in 2025.
