Cwm Road, Govilon

Positioned along a quiet lane in an elevated position, Highbank is a thoughtfully arranged semi detached home designed to embrace its surroundings. With an upside down layout that places the living accommodation on the upper floor, the home captures far reaching views across the Usk Valley towards the Sugarloaf Mountain, while south facing gardens step up behind the house to create a series of sunny seating terraces.

Inside the ground floor firstly offers flexible bedroom accommodation, currently arranged as three good size bedrooms plus a fourth room used as a dressing room, all served by a family bathroom. This level also provides internal access to an impressive 24ft garage, ideal for storage, hobbies or workshop space.

Upstairs is where the home truly comes into its own. The open plan lounge and dining space enjoys dual windows that frame the surrounding countryside, creating a light filled setting for both relaxing and entertaining. The kitchen sits just off this space and connects through to a useful utility room and cloakroom. An archway leads from the kitchen into a conservatory, a lovely additional reception area that looks out over the garden and works beautifully as either a dining or sitting space. Finally there is a further double bedroom enjoying views of the garden.

Outside, the south facing gardens rise around and behind the property in a series of defined levels, each creating its own place to sit, unwind and follow the sun through the day. At the top, an elevated seating area provides a particularly special vantage point, perfect for soaking up both sunshine and the sweeping valley views. To the front, there is a further level lawn boasting a wealth of shrubs and flower beds where property also benefits from off road parking and access to the garage.

Govilon is a sought after village set between Abergavenny and Crickhowell, surrounded by open countryside and outdoor pursuits. Just moments from the door you can join the cycle path that runs from Llanfoist through to Brynmawr, while the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal offers scenic walks and waterside tranquillity. The village itself has a welcoming pub and local shop, with the wider amenities, cafés and independent shops of Abergavenny and Crickhowell only a short drive away.
