Located on a quiet country lane near a friendly village a few miles from Chepstow, this three-bed, detached family home boasts amazing views and a tranquil 0.5 acre garden. With two reception rooms, two bathrooms, conservatory and utility room, the spacious home offers renovation potential too.
Peace and privacy await at this substantial home nestled within the stunning Monmouthshire countryside and yet just a few miles from the popular market town of Chepstow.
Along a small country lane from the village of St Arvans this detached three-bed family home can boast breathtaking views from the front and an idyllic garden of about half an acre at the rear, surrounded by a collection of glorious mature trees. Directly from the front door are long walks through the countryside as well as a stroll into the friendly village for facilities that include a church, a pub and a community hall. Or jump in the car or on a bike to explore the nearby Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or visit Chepstow Racecourse. Keep travelling south for a few miles for all the shopping and socialising opportunities Chepstow offers, and to access further afield via the M48 and M4 and the town's railway station.
Called Porthcasseg House, this country abode offers a formal, separate dining room and a spacious living room that seamlessly flows into a conservatory via a set of French doors. There's a generous kitchen with space for dining, a large utility room and ground floor shower room.
Upstairs the three bedrooms are doubles and all can boast a mesmerising view from the window that is hard to leave, plus the upper floor has a four-piece bathroom. Outside, once through the private gates, there's ample parking and a detached double garage. Porthcasseg House has not been on the market for over 20 years and is offered for sale with no chain. The much-loved family property is ripe for renovation, continuing its legacy as a happy home ready to provide lasting and lovely memories.
Step inside Porthcasseg House and this detached country abode welcomes with generous, light-filled rooms that are social hubs, combined with separate spaces for more intimate or peaceful moments. The lounge is a sizeable room with ample space for friends and family to gather and relax, with a comfortable ambience assisted by the light flooding in from the window which also frames a pretty garden view. The large living room flows out via a set of French doors into a conservatory ensuring that the idyllic garden can be thoroughly enjoyed whatever the weather. From stormy winds and heavy rain to watching the spring unfold from the clutches of winter, the conservatory is a special bonus space to see it all.
The second reception room is the place to be for enjoying more formal dining with dual aspect picture windows adding a delightful duo of garden views and light source to the sociable meal.
The separate dining room illustrates the versatility of the home, able to accommodate a variety of uses to suit a variety of lifestyle needs, from a playroom to a home office, a cosy snug to a guest bedroom if required.
Into the kitchen and it's another generous space designed to be able to easily create a feast that is then enjoyed at the breakfast table. The room offers ample storage, a classic country Aga and a conventional oven, and a fabulous garden view from the sink that will easily distract from the chore of washing the dishes. As part of an update of this space, maybe the window by the breakfast table could be changed to a set of French doors, subject to relevant permission, to seamlessly connect this hub of the home to the beautiful garden.
Off the kitchen is a shower room plus a substantial utility room with an extra vestibule area that could become a pantry or handy boot room as there is a door directly out to the garden from this space. After a refreshing walk through the landscape, it would be the perfect place to leave the muddy wellies, coats and hats.
Up to the first floor to discover three double bedrooms that are spacious and airy, each with fitted wardrobes and its own unique view of the peaceful garden plus glimpses of the magnificent Monmouthshire countryside beyond.
The four-piece family bathroom can offer a corner bath and separate shower. The light and bright room offers the chance to rework the design, if desired, with enough space for a double sink unit and extra storage.
The comfortable and much-loved family home has been the centre of making memories and sharing experiences for one family for over 20 years but now offers the chance to update it to create a home to suit the lifestyle and interior style of a new owner.
The owners were drawn to property keen gardeners and walkers and had dogs. Fall out of the house onto miles of walks with the dogs. It was a wonderful home that the whole family enjoyed and was full of life. There were once open views over fields to the rear before the trees grew up. The area is such a wonderful community and have had great neighbours. The summer is when the whole family would descend to use the gardens for parties and There was an once area of garden which they used as a secret garden which was used as a sheltered space that the children would play in.

Outside - Step outside the front door and every time the view from the front of this home will take your breath away. The detached three-bedroom property can boast panoramic and uninterrupted views from the front with fields and woodland stretching out for miles to the horizon. Add a bench or bistro table set to the front patio that flanks the front facade and the enjoyment of the rural vistas can be enjoyed accompanied by a drink or a meal.
The peace and privacy of the rear garden is soon calling, about 0.5 of an acre that provides a tranquil and secluded spot, an island of peace that is cocooned in a myriad of mature trees adding a variety of shades of green and striking shapes to the garden landscape.
The garden is vast enough for an area to be dedicated to growing produce and keeping chickens, flat enough to add a swimming pool, and enticing enough, with glimpses of the vast countryside views beyond as well as a secret section to explore, to be the perfect outdoor space for a family.
Past the garden walls are wonderful walks, bike rides and pony trekking in the countryside including through the Wye Valley and to Eagles Nest viewpoint, but this spacious and comfortable house that can boast its own slice of beautiful and secluded outdoors will always offer a welcome home to look forward to.
AGENTS NOTE: Heating is supplied by a local heat district network which is powered by a bio mass boiler housed in a barn in the neighbouring fields across the road owned by the local farmer. Installed around 8 years ago and they pay the LTD company each month and have unlimited use of the heating.
