Situated in a private courtyard and set away from main roads, an impressive terraced home that has been extensively renovated by the current owners to provide well proportioned accommodation over two floors but with the ongoing potential to enlarge if required (subject to the necessary planning regulations).
This beautiful stone fronted terraced home is situated away from the main road in a small courtyard setting used only by near neighbours. Offered for sale with no onward chain complications, this impressive property has been extensively renovated and improved by the current owners to give us the home we see today, with many alterations completed in June 2022, so a very contemporary feel juxtaposed with immense character such as exposed beams and stonework.
The town of Usk itself is steeped in history and boasts the superb Castle alongside very well renowned restaurants, public houses, shops and local school. There is also the fantastic addition of the White Hare gin distillery. Nearby towns of Newport, Cardiff and Bristol offer further entertainment and shopping facilities if required.
On entering the property via a timber and glazed front door with additional leaded light effect window to the front you are greeted by a most impressive reception room. This room has a light and airy feel, being dual aspect and featuring a host of characterful features including exposed stonework to walls, exposed beams to the ceiling and a recessed fireplace with flagstone hearth housing an electric log burner. The flooring is complimented by timber skirting boards. The contemporary feel of the home is further enhanced by the open aspect kitchen, separated by a solid oak breakfast bar with plenty of seating space for enjoying lunch or dinner, or even just a quick coffee while reading a newspaper. The recently fitted 'Howdens' kitchen (fitted in June 2022), has a wide range of units including a built-in pantry cupboard with sensor lighting, ample fitted shelving and power points, ideal for hiding away a microwave. Additional features of this well appointed space include integrated appliances, such as oven and fridge-freezer as well as solid oak work surfaces with integrated sink, drainer and waste disposal unit. There is a double glazed window overlooking the rear courtyard. A rear utility room is accessed via characterful stable doors and in turn has stable doors opening to the rear courtyard. Within the utility room there is a counter top with plumbing for washing machine and space for tumble dryer beneath. Wall mounted storage units.
The staircase rising to the first floor landing is accessed via a glazed and panelled door from the lounge, ensuring no heat loss up an open staircase. The first floor landing is of generous proportions and is currently used as an office space, yet large enough to accommodate a staircase if any buyer wanted to convert the large loft above. The current residents have drawn up plans for converting the loft space into an additional bedroom with en-suite facilities. The two bedrooms on the first floor are both double rooms, the main bedroom enjoying built-in wardrobes with mirrored sliding doors, whilst the second bedroom also houses the boiler cupboard which was fitted in June 2022 and has a 10 year warranty, with storage space within. The family bathroom includes a modern four piece white suite, fitted in June 2022, and encompassed a close coupled w.c, wash hand basin with storage beneath, panelled bath and an open aspect shower enclosure with glazed sidescreen. The walls are finished elegantly with Italian porcelain.
'This home truly has been a wonderful place to be, as there is a real sense of community in our small area, with all neighbours being incredibly welcoming. We have even been invited to a grand shed opening' party by the neighbours, any excuse to socialise together! It's a delightful micro-community within Usk and if it wasn't for personal circumstances we would have loved this to have been our forever home. Whoever buys this fantastic home will surely have found a place they will want to stay for many years to come.'' says the vendor.
Outside - A cobbled area to the front is used by the residents for parking vehicles, yet it is the rear where this home truly comes to life. Directly from the utility room, a stable door opens out to a central, communal courtyard that is used as a social area for all residents. With only 5 properties enjoying this space, it is ideal for sitting out in the evening and socialising with neighbours over a glass of wine and food.
However, if one wanted a more private outdoor space, additionally to the courtyard is a large private garden belonging to the property accessed via a pathway from the courtyard. It is an enclosed garden laid mainly to timber decking and mature shrubs. There is a wide variety of fruit trees and in total, the area measure approximately 28mx6m and backs onto Jane's Meadow part of the picturesque Usk Memorial gardens.
