Afon Gardens, Ponthir, NP18

This superb four double bedroom, three reception detached home, located in the sought-after village of Ponthir, represents a rare opportunity to acquire a high-quality family property that has been thoughtfully extended and enhanced by its original owner. Built by the well-regarded Bartondale Homes, a builder known for quality construction and stylish layouts, this home stands out not only for its generous proportions but also for the personal design input and bespoke modifications carried out during its construction.

At the time of building, homes from Bartondale were quickly snapped up by buyers due to the quality of finish and build they delivered. This particular property was custom-designed for the family who first moved in and still owns the home to this day, resulting in a home that is truly one of a kind within the development.

As you approach the property, you’re greeted by a wide block-paved driveway providing parking for two cars. A grand canopy-style open porch welcomes you, offering a practical and attractive entrance point to the home. Stepping inside, the spacious hallway features tiled flooring, which immediately sets the tone for the high-quality finishes found throughout the property. From the hallway, there are doors leading to several of the main living areas, along with a staircase rising to the first floor. A useful downstairs WC with a wash hand basin is located just off the hall.

The home offers an abundance of living space across three reception rooms, all of which have been designed to flow seamlessly while also offering distinct and flexible spaces for family life. As you enter the front sitting room, you are met with a bright and airy atmosphere thanks to the large window overlooking the front aspect. This room is ideal as a quiet reading room, study, or informal lounge.

Returning to the hallway and into the kitchen, beyond, you make your way through to the formal dining room, which also benefits from a front aspect window and marble tiled flooring. This space is perfect for hosting family meals and dinner parties and is located conveniently close to the kitchen. The lounge, located at the rear of the property, forms the heart of the home. It is a generously sized room that features a superb fireplace as a focal point and offers a comfortable setting for relaxation. Glazed double doors lead directly from the lounge into the brick built and glazed conservatory, which spans the full width of the lounge. This conservatory is a particularly special feature, offering a light-filled space with full double glazing, tiled floors, and French doors that open out onto the rear garden.

The kitchen and breakfast area represent another standout element of the home. Beautifully designed and finished, the kitchen provides everything a modern family could need, combining practicality with high-quality aesthetics. There is an island-style breakfast bar with stylish overhead lighting, creating a sociable and functional preparation and dining space. The kitchen boasts a six-ring gas hob, a double oven, and a microwave built into the unit above. The granite worktops adds both durability and elegance. There is an inset sink with stylish tap fittings and tiling that complements the overall scheme beautifully.

Appliances are all integrated, including a dishwasher, a built-in fridge freezer, and a built-in washing machine, all cleverly concealed behind matching cabinetry to maintain the sleek finish. Beyond the main kitchen lies a spacious breakfast area to the rear. This area provides an informal eating and seating space and is bathed in natural light, thanks to large windows and French doors that open onto the rear garden. The tiled flooring continues here for practicality.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with four double bedrooms, each tastefully decorated and offering excellent space. The master bedroom is positioned at the front of the property and features an extensive range of built-in wardrobes, complete with overhead and bedside storage that maximises space without compromising on style. The en-suite bathroom is well appointed with a double shower cubicle, tiled flooring, and a modern wash basin.

The second bedroom features built-in wardrobes, providing ample storage. Bedrooms three and four are also generous in size and benefit from built-in storage solutions, making them perfect for children, guests, or as work-from-home offices if desired.

The family bathroom is thoughtfully laid out. It features a full-size bath, a stylish wash hand basin, low level w.c. and a step-in shower cubicle. The tiling throughout is of a high standard and adds to the overall impression of quality.

The garden itself has been landscaped with a focus on ease of maintenance and outdoor enjoyment. There is a combination of decked seating areas, decorative pebble zones, and a side access gate, all enclosed by quality fencing for privacy. The rear garden has been designed to flow naturally from the indoor space, making it ideal for outdoor entertaining, barbecues.

Throughout the property, attention to detail is evident—from the carefully chosen tiles and lighting fixtures to the high standard of decoration and the well-maintained condition of every room. The house is fully double glazed and has been lovingly cared for by its owner, with no expense spared in keeping the property in excellent order.

Beyond the home itself, the location of this property is another major selling point. Situated in the popular and well-connected village of Ponthir, the area is known for its welcoming community spirit, peaceful surroundings, and convenient access to a range of amenities. Ponthir has a strong sense of community, with a well-regarded primary school, local pubs, and a village hall that hosts regular events and activities.

The property lies within easy reach of Ponthir Primary School and also benefits from being in close proximity to the highly regarded Caerleon Comprehensive School. Additionally, the prestigious Rougemont Private School is just a short drive away, offering excellent private education in a nearby location.

The neighbouring town of Caerleon, known for its Roman heritage, provides further amenities, including a range of cafes, restaurants, pubs, and cultural attractions. It is a charming place to spend time and adds significant appeal to the local lifestyle. Meanwhile, for more extensive shopping and leisure facilities, Cwmbran and Newport are both just a short drive away, offering major retail centres, supermarkets, entertainment venues, and transport links.
