The top floor of the house is an innovative space.
Among its highlights is a beautifully renovated 'bunk room,' tucked into the eaves, offering a creative sleeping space.
A bespoke cinema room, soundproofed and equipped with a theatre-style setup, featuring original stall-style chairs from a London theatre, is a special feature for cinema lovers.
Outside, the property's extensive grounds are a true asset.
Beyond the kitchen wing, there are two utility rooms, stables for three horses, and a double garage with an inspection pit and original hayloft above.
The 17 acres of land include a series of gardens set up as 'outdoor rooms' and two mature woodlands, Colomendy and Llansoar Woods.
The historical significance of the land is further enhanced by an Iron Age stone fort.
With the appropriate permissions, there is significant potential for further development within these grounds.
A pre-planning meeting has already been conducted with a view to installing 10 eco lodges in the woods, to run as tourist accommodation, presenting a profitable ongoing business opportunity.
The location of the house offers a balance between rural tranquillity and convenient access to amenities.
Nestled between Usk and Caerleon, the property is situated in the heart of the Monmouthshire countryside.
The area offers a variety of excellent primary schools, historic sites, and leisure facilities such as Llandegfedd Reservoir.
The riverside town of Usk is nearby, while the Welsh border towns of Monmouth and Chepstow, with their independent cafes, shops, and festivals, are within easy reach.
For commuters, the M4 is a 15-minute drive away, with Cardiff and Newport offering further accessibility.
