Property Summary

The Old Rectory, as the name implies, is the former rectory for the neighbouring St Cadocs Church which lies behind the house. The house is situated in a peaceful corner of a popular village located between Abergavenny and Monmouth. Steeped in history with a wealth of features and much character, it is believed parts of the house date from the 19th century. The Old Rectory is tucked away surrounded by open farmland with views towards the mountains beyond, the River Usk is within a short walk and provides a tranquil setting to enjoy a peaceful stroll and the resident wildlife. Full of period touches, this much loved family home offers spacious rooms which are located over the 3 floors of the main house plus a single storey annexe. Outside, the house is approached via a wooden 5 bar gate opening onto a gravelled driveway with ample parking. The glorious gardens lie to the front, side and rear of the house which adjoins open fields to one side and the Church to the rear – the windows are all oriented towards the gardens and open countryside.
