Description
A charming Organically Farmed small-holding comprising a restored and extended stone built farmhouse of immense character, two small stone barns in a traditional fold-yard setting, pastureland and orchard extending, in all, to 22.41 acres or thereabouts.
Location
This unique property is set in the unspoilt rolling rural landscape of the Welsh Border countryside enjoying views towards the Black Mountains and possessing a distinct atmosphere of years gone by. The important local centre and market town of Abergavenny with its railway station and dual carriageway link with the national motorway system is approximately 8 miles distant.
The Farmhouse is built of stone with a later extension of stone clad cavity wall construction, standing under a felted and slated roof. The accommodation, which has been improved in recent years, is full of character with many original features. It has the advantage of oil-fired central heating and double glazing to the oak frame windows.
Accommodation
From the front door there is an entrance hall with a utility room on the right with the central heating boiler, a sink, worktops and plumbing for a washing machine. From the hall is a downstairs shower room with a tiled floor, large shower and screen, a WC and basin.
The sitting room has windows to the stunning views and French windows onto a veranda looking out over the garden and views beyond. There is a Clearview stove, bookshelves and oak floor.
The kitchen is a delight being cosy from the aga, with oak floor, windows to two aspects and a stable door. There is a fitted oak unit with a double butler sink, dishwasher and larder cupboard.
The first-floor landing gives access to four bedrooms, three of which are of double proportion. The main bedroom has a dressing room which could be en-suite instead, and the family bathroom is just next door. On the landing there is a double cupboard.
Outside
The property is approached over a stone surfaced driveway leading to the farmyard around which are located the farmhouse and two stone barns. To the immediate south of the property is a flagstone surfaced terrace with various climbing flowering and fragrant plants including jasmine, roses and clematis. The terrace is flanked by two flowerbeds containing well-established herbaceous plants, lavender, roses and shrubs. Pedestrian gates lead out to the driveway and to the foldyard. To the side of the property there is a good expanse of lawn with various roses and herbaceous plants, welcome shade being provided by an ancient yew tree. A gravelled sitting-out area formed by the junction of the two stone barns is a veritable suntrap and is home to a productive fruiting fig tree.
A nearby field gate leads out to a small paddock with young fruit trees and a picturesque pond flanked by a weeping willow, the paddock being ideal for the keeping of poultry or waterfowl. Just across the driveway from the farmhouse is a well sheltered hedge-enclosed productive kitchen garden area and a Poly-tunnel 12.19m x 3.89m approximately. Adjacent to the driveway is a Detached Outbuilding 5.33m x 3.58m of corrugated iron and timber construction. In the adjacent upper field there is a three bay open fronted building with a timber frame 12.34m x 5.49m and a further open fronted building with three bays of steel portal frame construction with metal profiled roof 13.82m x 5.76m.
Outbuildings And Foldyard
Located on two sides of the concrete surfaced foldyard is a range of stone outbuildings having corrugated iron roofs and comprising a Stone Barn affording to one end a Workshop/Store 3.96m x 2.43m probably at one time having been a farmhand/groom's quarters having an old fireplace, a later installed concrete floor and electric light. The boarded loft over is believed to have been a sleeping loft, whilst toilet facilities were available in the form of a lean-to earth closet located at the rear of the building, this now being utilised as a Garden/Fuel Store 1.93m x 1.07m The remainder of this building is a traditional Three Bay Stone Barn 9.02m x 4.42m with interesting timbers and beams, a carriageway through, lancet holes and access to the loft referred to previously.

Across the yard is a further two-storey stone building comprising a Cow House & Stable 7.82m x 3.78m having a corrugated iron roof, concreted floor, fluorescent lighting and one double power point. Granary Steps with a wrought iron balustrade lead up to the first floor where the former Hay Loft 7.82m x 3.81m has for some years been used as a hobby room to the farmhouse having a Jotul wood-burning stove installed, an insulated ceiling, Velux windows and two double power points, the part-glazed entrance door enjoying views towards The Black Mountains. To the rear of this building is a lean-to Implement Shed/Log Store 7.72m x 4.42m of timber framed and corrugated iron roofed construction with boarded sides, fluorescent lighting and one double power point.
