Overview

A fine example of a stone former barn, converted to a dwelling circa 2008, positioned amidst a small cluster of 3 properties which once comprised a farmhouse and agricultural buildings. The barn is located in a semi rural setting with glorious unspoilt countryside views circa 10 miles from Abergavenny, between the historic village of Grosmont and the pretty village of Cross Ash with its well regarded primary school. Thoughtfully designed to ensure the privacy of the barn is maintained and set in circa 2.4 acres of gardens and grounds oriented make the most of the sun on the private side of the house.

Ground Floor

The barn has much character throughout with many features including interesting exposed timbers, flagstone floors and oak joinery. The barn has been carefully designed to maximise space and light and create a home with a wealth of features combined with the requirements of modern day living. Enter through a painted wooden door into a welcoming entrance hall with stairs to the first floor and a useful cloakroom/W.C. The spacious sitting room, with wood burning stove mounted on a stone plinth, is generous in size and has double doors opening onto the stone terrace with views across the gardens and fields. From the sitting room is a door to the spare room, a versatile room which could be used as a study or reading room. Again, this room has double doors to the outside enjoying not only the beautiful views but privacy and tranquility.

...

On the opposite side of the entrance hall is the open plan kitchen/dining room with ample space for a farmhouse style dining table and chairs. The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with a range of wood fronted cupboards, wooden work surfaces, integrated appliances and an island unit with inset hob and cuboards/wine rack below. From the kitchen is a door to a useful utility/boot room with stable door to outside.

First Floor

Stairs rise to the first floor, which has high ceilings throughout giving the rooms a spacious and airy feel. There are two double bedrooms served by a traditional family bathroom and substantially sized principal bedroom, a wonderful room rich with features including exposed timber beams together with practical features including extensive built in storage and en suite shower room.

Outside

A private driveway, bordered by post and rail fencing, is entered via a wooden gate accessed off a country lane. The level gardens adjoin a stone flagged terrace adjacent to the property, ideal for enjoying the peace and tranquility and admiring the views. The gardens are predominately laid to lawn with a variety of specimen trees, beyond the lawns are gounds with two natural ponds and wild flowers. Within the grounds is a substantial and useful studio/office which has an electricity supply and high speed internet cabling. There is a courtyard to south easterly aspect of the property enclosed by a low level wall with an outlook to the neighbouring properties. The gardens and grounds to the rear of the barn provide much privacy as well as enjoying the most stunning views across open countryside towards the mountains beyond.

Location

The property is located between the pretty village of Cross Ash with its well regarded primary school and the village of Grosmont which is close to the English/Welsh border between Herefordshire and Monmouthshire. Within a few miles is the village of Llangattock Lingoed which boasts the The Hunters Moon.
