Grosmont, Abergavenny

Full Details

Overview
Built in the 1970's, this beautifully presented contemporary home is tucked away down a country lane on the edge of the historic village of Grosmont. The house has the unusual name of 'Sally Rucks' which we understand is from the combination of 'Sally Port' (of Grosmont castle) and Rucks - a concealed entry where troops could Sally out to attack/defend from the enemy and where people came in and out of the fortification, the ancient lane down from the gate has the same name. In keeping with the period, the house offers space and light and has been tastefully modernised with much attention to detail. Located behind the historic village church and within walking distance of the local village pub, post office and castle, this house offers privacy but with the convenience of local amenities and the opportunity to become part of a thriving village community.
