Occupying an exceptional rural setting in the heart of the stunning Llanthony Valley, Foxwood Cottage is a substantially improved former farmhouse set within approximately 34 acres of gardens, pasture and woodland. Enjoying an enviable position surrounded by unspoilt countryside, the property combines character, space and versatility with breathtaking views across its own land and the surrounding countryside.
Despite its name, Foxwood Cottage is a substantial country residence extending to over 3,400 sq ft. The original farmhouse dates from around 1700 and remained a small working farm until the late 1970s, when it began a programme of enlargement and improvement that has created the impressive home seen today. Subsequent owners have continued to enhance the property, including the installation of oak-framed double-glazed windows and doors together with further extensions that have significantly increased both the living accommodation and flexibility of the house.
The spacious accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes a superb sitting room, generous dining room and family room, all ideally suited to modern family living and entertaining. The kitchen/breakfast room is complemented by a utility room, shower room and a bright sun room overlooking the gardens. A substantial double garage provides excellent storage and workshop space.
To the first floor are four bedrooms and a study. The principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room, whilst a second bedroom also enjoys en-suite facilities. A family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation.
Foxwood Cottage is accessed via a sweeping private driveway that cuts through the lower grounds and leads to the extensive forecourt, providing parking for numerous cars. The grounds, gardens and paddocks measure approximately 10 acres. Formal gardens wrap around the house, enjoying superb views including across to the Brynarw Mountain. The charm of the gardens has been further enhanced by the creation of a large nature pond with bridge to a central island. In addition, there are paddocks that are complement by a two berth stable block with attached tack room. The land retains its agricultural designation and has previously supported livestock.
Beyond the immediate grounds lies approximately 24 acres of mature woodland, providing an exceptional natural environment rich in wildlife. The woodland is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and supports a diverse range of flora and fauna, including dormice and lesser horseshoe bats. Deer, foxes and badgers are regularly seen, while a network of paths creates the rare opportunity to enjoy extensive private woodland walks directly from the doorstep.
Foxwood Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial country home with significant acreage in one of Monmouthshire's most sought-after rural locations. Combining historic character, extensive accommodation and approximately 34 acres of gardens, pasture and protected woodland, it offers an exceptional lifestyle property in a truly outstanding setting.
