Grade II Listed Magor guest house up for sale for £995,000
The Brick House Country Guest House, listed by Christie & Co, is a Grade II Listed property dating back to 1790. The charming residence, which has been owned by the current occupant for an astounding 76 years, is on the market for a guide price of £995,000. According to the estate agent, the guest house was originally built by William Phillips of nearby Whitson Court. (Image: Christie and Co via Rightmove) It has only changed hands twice since then. Originally a farm house, it began offering bed and breakfast services in 1974, a tradition that has continued to this day. The estate agent noted that the property has remained an incredibly popular bed and breakfast, attracting both regular and new guests. Its semi-rural location, just three miles from the M4, has contributed to its enduring success. In addition to the main house, there is a detached bungalow in the grounds which is currently let out on an assured shorthold tenancy (AST), providing further rental income. There is also a partly converted two-storey barn attached to the main house. Once finished, this could offer two bedrooms, a sitting room, and a kitchen. The property is located in Redwick, a peaceful village on the outskirts of Magor, Monmouthshire. It is approximately three miles from Junction 23A of the M4 motorway, providing easy access to Newport, Cardiff, and Bristol. (Image: Christie and Co via Rightmove) The area offers a tranquil rural setting with access to both countryside and urban attractions. These include Magor Square, the Procurator's House, St Mary's Church, Redwick Village, Caldicot Castle & Country Park, and the Gwent Levels. (Image: Christie and Co via Rightmove) The Welsh Coast Path and National Cycle Route also pass close by, providing easy access to the guest house. Inside the property, you enter via a timber-framed, glazed porch into an open plan hall featuring the main staircase. (Image: Christie and Co via Rightmove) This leads to the guest lounge, which boasts a bar area with exposed beams and a feature stone fireplace. There is also a formal sitting room, a guest dining room, a kitchen/breakfast room, a garden room, and an office. (Image: Christie and Co via Rightmove) The main staircase leads to a dual landing housing three ensuite double bedrooms. The second floor offers four bedrooms, two doubles and two singles, with the double bedrooms offering ensuite bathrooms. (Image: Christie and Co via Rightmove) Further accommodation can be accessed from the first floor landing or a separate staircase from the main kitchen. This includes two bedrooms with built-in storage and a separate bathroom. (Image: Christie and Co via Rightmove) Externally, there is off-road parking for numerous vehicles, mature gardens and grounds, and an adjoining three-acre paddock, available via separate negotiation. The gardens, mostly laid to lawn with mature shrub, hedge, and flower borders, wrap around the property. (Image: Christie and Co via Rightmove) An outside terrace makes it perfect for alfresco dining, with views of the countryside and beyond. Included within the freehold sale are two further properties. The first is an attached barn, which is fully wired, plumbed, and plastered, but now requires the second fix for completion. The other is a cottage, which has been let to the current tenant for the last six years on an AST basis. The cottage features a sitting room with central electric fire, a kitchen, a garden room, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. According to the estate agent, this is a fantastic opportunity to be the next custodian of a truly beautiful farmhouse. They noted that the property has a multitude of uses, from continuing the current B&B trade to creating a special family home. With the option to provide extra income via the rental properties or offering multigenerational living opportunities, it's a safe bet for years to come, they added. Coupled with the idyllic countryside location, proximity to major cities and road networks, and having the option to acquire further land, it's a property not to be missed.

The Robert Hamilton, a former Wetherspoons in Airdrie, is now on the market for a fixed price of £210,000. The pub, which though currently vacant has a 'substantial' trading area over two floors as well as an outdoor seating area, had previously been listed as 'under offer' by agents Christie and Co at an asking price of £300,000.

Agents Christie and Co said that the Airdrie pub, which is in the town's centre, had potential for redevelopment for residential use subject to planning consent.

They added: 'The business was well known within the community and used by the locals and visitors to the town. 'The property previously traded as a successful Wetherspoons and recently under an independent owner, however, we are confident that the site has the potential to cater for many concepts going forward.
