Welsh Newton, Monmouth, Monmouthshire, NP25

Welsh Newton is a small village some 4 miles north of the vibrant Market town of Monmouth. Monmouth is situated at the confluence of the Rivers Wye and Monnow. It is the birthplace of King Henry 5th, and has the unique landmark of the 13th Century Monnow Bridge Gatehouse, the only one of its kind remaining in Britain. Monmouth is a popular tourist destination due to its proximity to the Wye Valley, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The lively cultural scene includes the Blake Theatre and an annual music festival. The town has many independent shops, as well as a Waitrose and M&S food store!

Property Description

Originally constructed circa 1684 as a Cider Mill for neighbouring Pembridge House with the later addition of the barn, the property one sees today was converted into a residential dwelling in the mid 1980's. Constructed of Herefordshire Sandstone, with a slate roof, the property provides extensive accommodation. A welcoming entrance hall leads to a kitchen/breakfast room, dining room and study, together with a charming lounge with feature stone fireplace and inset Clearview multi fuel stove. Each of these rooms have feature beams to the ceilings and with windows to all elevations, they are filled with natural light.

To the first floor are three double bedrooms, again with feature beams to the ceiling, the master bedroom having an en-suite shower room. There is also an exceptionally well proportioned family bathroom with both a bath and separate walk in shower.

Connected via a most useful utility room, but also with its own private entrance, is the annexe. Constructed from the former barn, it now provides a light and welcoming kitchen, sitting room and ground floor accessible shower room and w.c., whilst to the first floor are two bedrooms. 

One of the main features of Malicar Mill are the beautiful, well established, landscaped gardens. The sun terrace at the front of the Mill provides a fabulous seating area, with a curved path leading one towards Mallybrook. Between the house and the Brook the gardens are of a formal style, thoughtfully planted with scented shrubs including Roses, Clematis and an arbour seating area covered with Wisteria. Crossing the attractive stone bridge, the garden becomes informal with a range of mature trees, wild flowers and bulbs together with a bog garden filled with Ferns and Hosta's. This whole area is filled with both scent and bird song.

Positioned strategically to offer a vista across the gardens, is the bespoke Garden Studio/Office by Urban Garden Studios. A pentagonal, insulated studio with an abundance of glazing, equipped with both power and wired internet, this building can serve a range of purposes.

In close proximity is the attractively constructed double garage, and a generous gravelled parking area with space for a number of vehicles. For those concerned with strategic communications Malicar Mill is within easy access of both Monmouth and Ross, and the A40/M4 dual carriageway/motorway network. 

For those looking for a character property, beautiful gardens, and the benefit of a separate annexe then we strongly recommend an early viewing.
