Step Outside
The house is approached from a quiet country lane through an electric gate to a generous tarmac drive leading to a paved patio to the main entrance. The driveway provides parking space for numerous vehicles and access to a detached double garage with electric door and security lighting. The patio continues along the side and wraps around the rear of the house offering many options for outdoor dining or just simply to enjoy the view. The large gardens comprise level, well-maintained lawns with shrub borders and plentiful mature trees including a walnut and a plum. At the bottom of the garden is a wood-clad summerhouse and beyond, a post and rail fence with a wooden gate leading to the banks of the beautiful River Usk where the owners enjoy riparian rights. There is a second gate to the side of the house providing access to a second garage/workshop. This building, subject to any planning consents, could be converted to an annexe/studio or perhaps a holiday let to generate ancillary income. Across the road is a small orchard with apple trees and a vegetable plot.

Agent's Notes
During the unprecedented storms in February 2020, the property did have water ingress to the rear ground floor. The owners were away and the water came through a set of French doors which had not been replaced in recent years. The area of the flood has been refurbished and specialist flood defence doors have been fitted in addition to a flood defence system. Full details to be provided during viewings.
