Ty-Llywd Farm, Watery Lane, Llanishen

Occupying a fantastic secluded yet accessible location, at the end of a private sweeping drive, Ty Llwyd comprises a charming, detached country farmhouse enjoying an elevated position affording outstanding panoramic views over the striking valley of Usk. This former farm workers property has been significantly extended and renovated by the current Vendor’s to provide deceptively spacious and versatile living accommodation that will no doubt suit a variety of markets and requirements; briefly comprising to the ground floor; an attractive Oak storm porch leading into a generous lounge with feature fireplace, a substantial plan kitchen/ dining room with a useful utility and WC off, concluding the ground floor is the stunning garden room offering uninterrupted views over beautiful rolling countryside. The first floor affords four double bedrooms and the four-piece family bathroom. Ty Llwyd actually benefits from two private driveways, both leading off the main lane and to the property, the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 3.5 acres, providing excellent opportunity for the garden enthusiast, or indeed both equestrian and small-holding potential. The wrap-around gardens are a real joy to wander and the rear terrace provides the perfect spot to dine, entertain and take in the breathtaking Usk Valley views, which really are one of a kind!

Adjacent to the private drive, there are a range of old stone outbuildings which offer prime potential for conversion into either residential units (annexe or holiday letting), or indeed to store machinery/ or keep animals – all subject to the necessary consent. The buildings are set away from the main residence and so would work brilliantly as a self-contained annexe or indeed to provide an income stream by way of holiday letting, given this is the perfect semi-rural location with an abundance of walks on your doorstep. Furthermore, attached to the main property is a historic ruin of a former building, the stone ruins of the property still adjoin the farmhouse with the large stones of the old fireplace in situ, giving scope for further extension. This provides an outstanding opportunity to gain permission to re-build and create either additional contemporary living spaces to the main residence, or alternative uses, depending on requirements.

The property is approached down a long drive off the lane from Llanishen village, which has the benefit of a thriving community with a garage, shop, pub and village hall. The historic town of Monmouth some 7 miles distance, provides a comprehensive range of amenities including a broad range of shops, schools both junior and senior which enjoy excellent reputations and a wide range of leisure and sporting facilities. Chepstow is approximately 6 miles to the South, also offering excellent facilities, including junior and senior schools, leisure and sporting facilities including Chepstow Racecourse and St Pierre Golf & Country Club. The property allows easy access to the larger road network, M4 and M5, which makes Bristol, Cardiff and Birmingham within comfortable commuting distance.
