House For Sale £475,000
Built in 1938 the impressive façade of this semi-detached home is an exceptional example of 1930’s architecture and the shining quality of Sweets, Usk builders and architects of that time. One of only four of this style in Usk, this is the first to come to the market in over 20 years.
The elevated position takes advantage of the stunning views across to the Brecon Beacons. Situated just a short walk into Usk town and moments form the A449, leading to the M4 & M50, this ideal location is perfect for Cardiff & Bristol commuters, whilst enjoying the surrounding countryside.
Much of the preserved 1930’s design includes the stunning Crittall style curved windows, original oak strip flooring, terrazzo and parquet flooring, lounge fireplace, Oak panelled staircase, and even the original kitchen and bathroom tiling are on show. A wonderful detail are the original hand painted designs found highlighting the corners of a dining room wall and others downstairs.
A driveway for circa two to three cars leads to a single garage with power and light. Steps lead up to the front garden where a pathway continues down the side of the house to the main entrance.
The entrance hall features the original parquet floor and panelled Oak staircase with cupboard beneath.
French doors open out onto the front garden from the middle of the stunning curved bay window of the lounge. Flooding in light the full width window has a completely open view across the trees. The original fireplace is open and working, polished oak floor and picture rails sit beneath the high ceiling.
Inset into the chimneybreast of the dining room is a Stovax wood burner. The wood parquet flooring of the hall continues in to here, with picture rails above. Discovered beneath old wallpaper are the original hand painted wall designs.
Original 1930’s terrazzo floor and tiling feature in the kitchen. A gas Rayburn range cooker inset into the chimneybreast, fires the hot water and heating. Base cupboards and drawers with oiled Oak doors are to two sides and include an integrated fridge and dishwasher. Under a large original Crittall window the Corian worktops feature, rolled upstands and integrated Corian sink and drainer to side. There is space for a four-seater table and chairs.
French Crittall style doors open onto a good size lean to providing a practical boot room/storage area with direct access to the garden. This opens onto a utility area with work surface and sink, space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. An original coal shed now acts as a storage area and wood store next to which is a downstairs w.c. A door from the utility leads to the side of the house.
Above the staircase, a window brings light onto the landing, which provides access to the large loft with skylight, all bedrooms, bathroom and a separate w.c.
The stunning curved bay window of the large master bedroom floods in light with views over the river Usk to the Brecon Beacons beyond.
The second double bedroom features a built in cupboard and has front facing open views.
The third double bedroom has views over the large rear garden.
A floor to ceiling airing cupboard is within the bathroom, which has a panel-enclosed bath with shower over and pedestal sink. The original 1930’s tiles reach half height and a window opens onto the garden view.
The large back garden features steps up to a wildflower bed and area of lawn, a path continues onto the patio with good-sized shed and further lawn behind, edged with fruit bushes. Beyond the second lawn are mature shrubs, fruit bushes, trees and further wildlife areas. The garden backs onto open farm land and offers superb views of the surrounding countryside.
