Property Summary
A fine example of a Victorian period house built circa 1870 and with much character and many of the original features. This substantial attached house is cleverly orientated to ensure privacy and is not overlooked with extensive gardens to the front and sides. To one side of the house is a private south facing terrace with the most stunning view towards The Blorenge Mountain. Located in a prime residential area on the Western side of Abergavenny town, this period houses in the area were originally built for the senior managers of the railways and iron works, in more recent years, the Western side of Abergavenny has been favoured by buyers in the medical profession (ideal for the proximity of Nevill Hall Hospital) and business people, both working locally and commuting to the cities of Bristol, Cardiff, Hereford and London. The Western side of Abergavenny is an ideal location for access to road and rail links, the house is within walking distance of a well regarded local primary school and a new ‘super school’ with leisure centre. The house requires updating and modernising and offers generously proportioned rooms with many original features including tessellated tiled floors, stripped floorboards, ornate plaster cornicing, ceiling roses, period fireplaces and an impressive staircase with turned handrail and newel posts, original doors, and the wonderfully high ceilings typical of a property of this era. While the house would now benefit from some investment, it presents an exciting opportunity for purchasers to reconfigure the layout and create a beautiful home, in a sought after location, to suit their needs and the requirements of modern day living.Full Details
