This has been a wonderful home for our family for over 60 years - a perfect location for us as children and later for our own childen to grow up with the freedom to play outdoors and enjoy active lives out in the fresh air - whilst also still being close to Newport and Cardiff. The garden has also been a safe roaming space for the many family pets we have had over the years including dogs, cats and chickens. The local area is also fantastic for exploring, walking and hiking and Draethen is a lovely, welcoming and close knit community. It is with some sadness that we let the family home go but we are sure whoever comes next will love it as much as we have!
