Penrhiw Avenue, Oakdale, Blackwood, NP12 0EW

A home of this scale, history and presence is rarely offered to the market.

Set within the iconic former Oakdale Hospital, this exceptional Grade II listed residence has been thoughtfully transformed into a substantial six-bedroom home extending to over 3,500 sqft, offering a level of space and versatility that is almost impossible to find locally.

From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is something entirely different. Homes may offer space, but very few can match the sense of grandeur found here, particularly within the main living room. With its striking original bay window, impressive proportions and feature log burner, this is a room that truly sets the home apart, offering a scale and atmosphere that modern homes simply struggle to replicate.

At the heart of the home is a breathtaking kitchen, dining and entertaining space, enhanced by a stunning glazed roof that floods the room with natural light. Bi-fold doors open out to far-reaching valley views, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living, making it ideal for both everyday life and entertaining.

Flowing from here, the property offers multiple reception areas, allowing for clearly defined spaces to relax, work or host, all without ever feeling limited by space.

With six double bedrooms arranged across two floors, the property offers exceptional flexibility. Whether for a growing family, multi-generational living or those working from home, the layout adapts effortlessly. The ground floor alone provides three bedrooms, including a superb principal suite complete with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, offering long-term practicality without compromising on comfort. Additional bathrooms across both floors ensure the home functions just as well as it impresses.

Beyond the main living accommodation, the property continues to deliver with a dedicated home gym, workshop space, attic room with further potential, and extensive storage throughout, supporting a modern lifestyle where space is no longer a limitation.

Externally, the property benefits from secure gated parking, providing both privacy and peace of mind.
