Located in the popular Monmouthshire village of Llangybi three miles from Usk, this substantial, detached, four-bed, three reception room house, hidden on a quiet lane, offers an exciting renovation opportunity combined with ample parking, garage, and sizeable garden, surrounded by rural views.
Wander along a quiet country lane through the glorious Monmouthshire countryside surrounded by an astonishingly beautiful undulating landscape and it is easy to miss the private driveway to this substantial four-bed, detached house. Nestled within an abundance of trees and mature shrubs, the gate on the lane gives way to glimpses of the handsome house as the driveway sweeps up the front facade.
The property is the last house on this country lane that's lined with detached country abodes as it meanders out of the village of Llangybi. A popular and pretty spot to call home, the tiny village is centred around the White Hart pub, village shop and St Cybi church.
The main road through the village offers direct and speedy access to the market town of Usk for further facilities less than three miles away to the north, and to Caerleon, Newport and the M4 to the south, as well as being on the local bus route.
Back at the house, the countryside is the most abundant of the neighbours with the generous rear garden seamlessly rolling into the panoramic rural views that continue for miles to the hills on the horizon. The sizeable, brick-built house offers large reception rooms, a kitchen diner, utility room and cloakroom on the ground floor and four double bedrooms and family bathroom on the first floor, all a generous size and all ripe for renovation and welcoming a new owner's personal style.
Step inside the porch and then the inner front door and immediately the well-loved home hugs you with a welcoming atmosphere, oodles of space and waves of light cascading into each of the sizeable rooms.
The entrance hall in this well-designed family sized four-bedroom house is the centre of the home, providing access to all the ground floor rooms. Even though the hall is empty there are features to notice and admire in this first space, from the period parquet flooring to the glass panel staircase which ensures that shared light can flood up and down the stairs with ease.
On the left there's a handy cloakroom, but the main event is across the rear of the house where three large reception rooms span the whole width of the property, all offering fabulous views out over the garden and the glorious countryside beyond. The largest of this terrific trio of spaces is the living room that nestles into the corner of the house and so can boast a dual aspect, as well as a feature fireplace, a focal point for social gatherings on sofas clustered around it, whatever the weather is doing outside.
The parquet flooring continues into this space, as well as into the adjacent two reception rooms, and once restored will bring period charm to the home as well a visually warming, honey-blonde tone to the decor.
Next to the living room is the central, formal dining room and then a further lounge.
The versatility of the house is obvious from the outset, with each of these reception spaces a blank canvas that can become any function that a new owner requires.
From home office to media room, ground floor bedroom to playroom, dining room to lounge - the size and configuration of these three rooms can be morphed to suit any lifestyle needs.
There's the chance to combine spaces too to create a more open-plan way of living, such as removing a dividing wall to combine spaces, replace windows with French doors to the garden, or even install a two-way log burner so two reception rooms can enjoy this one added feature, with changes subject to planning consent.
At the front of the house the kitchen diner is another generous room, with ample space for a breakfast table and chairs so the cook can enjoy company while a feast is prepared, plus access to the garden via a glass door and an adjacent utility room offering the practical to this pretty impressive space.
There's more potential at this end of the house for reworking the space too, with the removal, with planning and building regulation permission, of the dividing wall with the adjacent lounge.
This would create a magnificent kitchen diner that spans the depth of the property, offering views of the front and rear garden from inside one large space.
There's potential to update the home on the first floor too, where there are four double bedrooms, all with garden views, plus a family bathroom to be found.
But there's also a bonus cloakroom and storage cupboard sandwiched between two of the bedrooms. With minimal reworking of this space it could easily become an en-suite shower room to one of its neighbouring bedrooms.
This generous house offers the opportunity to update it into a home with more connected spaces and showcasing a new owner's personal style or, alternatively, just turn the front door key and enjoy it as it is, relaxing in the welcoming spaces while enjoying the incredible views.
Outside - Step outside and be enveloped by the substantial slice of the Monmouthshire countryside that comes with this handsome house.
From the tree-lined entrance off the peaceful country lane, through the mature front garden and under the towering trees, the long driveway sweeps up to the property, ending in a garage, ample parking and a welcoming entrance to the home.
Around the back of the house the outside space becomes even more impressive, with the country views enveloping the substantial garden and seamlessly rolling into the fields and hedgerows that stretch for miles across the magnificent vista to the hills on the horizon.
It's a garden that is well-loved, not just for its mature trees and shrubs and an ocean of sumptuous green lawn wrapped in enviable rural views, but for its variety of opportunities too. There's ample space within the generous plot to expand the terrace into a party patio able to accommodate all family and friends, plus parcels of the land are ideal for dedicated vegetable patches and outdoor additions to support growing onsite produce.
It's the perfect garden for work, rest and play, in the perfect countryside spot to fully appreciate the breath-taking Monmouthshire landscape.
