The house has been owned by an established Abergavenny family for around 70 years and retains many original features including cornices, picture rails, decorative arch with ornate corbels and sash windows. The high ceilings and ornate fireplaces add to the charm and character of the property. The accommodation comprises: entrance porch with original tiled floor and part glazed door to entrance hall, doors to the sitting room and second reception room, stairs to first floor, an under stairs storage cupboard and access to the inner hall. The entrance hall has a feature arch with ornate plaster corbels and we understand the original tessellated floor is underneath the hall carpet. The sitting room to the front of the property, overlooking Avenue Road, has single glazed sash windows to the bay, coving and a decorative picture rail. Along the entrance hall is a second reception room which has a sash window overlooking the rear garden, coving, picture rail and a fireplace which has been blocked up.

A sliding door opens into the dining room with window to the side, wall mounted gas fire and built in book shelving to the side.
