House For Sale £875,000
This detached, executive style, four bedroomed family home sits in attractive wrap around walled gardens of about ½ an acre in one of the premier positions in the market town of Abergavenny and enjoys an enviable, glorious vista across the town and the Usk Valley towards the majestic Blorenge beyond. Substantial in size, this individual home was built just over 20 years ago and comprises a main house with an interconnecting, self-contained two storey annexe which can be used separately to the main family accommodation or incorporated into the principal house, to suit personal preferences.
INTRODUCTION
The original part of the property features a generous hallway with a wide sweeping staircase leading to a galleried landing above, enhanced by a large picture window to the stairwell, oak flooring and glazed, oak panelled doors linking into the open plan reception rooms. The dual aspect lounge/diner has broad windows and French doors opening onto a wide sun terrace, perfectly arranged to maximise the view of its magnificent countryside backdrop. For a less distracting view, the dual aspect study is located at the front of the house and being away from the main hub of the house, provides a quiet spot for working or resting. The dining room opens into a kitchen which has an interconnecting door to the ground floor of the annexe. On this level, the annexe has a living room, kitchen and hallway with access to both the front and rear gardens. The kitchen could equally be used as a utility/shower room and the living room, a reception room or even a ground floor bedroom, if required. On the first floor, the spacious dual aspect principal bedroom suite has a range of fitted wardrobes and a modern four piece en-suite. The other two bedrooms are served by a shower room in addition to a cloakroom on the ground floor. A door connects this floor to the first floor of the annexe, which has a dual aspect double bedroom and a good size contemporary bathroom suite, with stairs leading from its own landing to the lower floor. It would therefore be simple to assimilate the bedroom accommodation into the main house by removing the door connecting the two landing spaces.
