OUTSIDE are formal gardens with panoramic views, a valuable range of outbuildings and stables and a detached leisure building with indoor swimming pool. There are some 24 acres including old woodland and miles of walks and rides in the surrounding countryside.




Although rural and approached off a small country lane the property is also easily accessible. It is under 3 miles from the M4 at The Coldra (Celtic Manor) so is easily accessible to all centres of South East Wales, Cardiff and Bristol. London trains are from Newport or Bristol Parkway, which is just over 20 miles away. There are excellent shopping, sporting and educational facilities close at hand.

Outside - THE FORMAL GARDENS WITH STUNNING VIEWS
DETACHED LEISURE BUILDING WITH INDOOR SWIMMING POOL
The approach is off the country lane via electrically operated security gates onto a sweeping drive that encircles a wonderful old oak tree. The front gardens are partly walled and comprise wide areas of lawn with wide stone steps to the impressive front entrance. To the rear are further gardens and a wide westerly terrace, overlooking the Vale of Usk, and probably the best of the incredible views. Close by is the BOILER ROOM with Biomass boiler. A short distance across the lawn is a LARGE DETCHED LEISURE BUILDING with indoor swimming pool and changing facilities.

THE STABLE BLOCK, MANEGE, PADDOCK & WOODLAND
Off the drive, and backing onto a large paddock, is an excellent MODERN STABLE with tack room, and access to the OUTDOOR MANEGE. There is excellent hacking on the doorstep with miles of rides and walks in the surrounding lanes, and nearby Wentwood Forest. The remaining grounds comprise a lovely area of ancient woodland.

Viewings

Please make sure you have viewed all of the marketing material to avoid any unnecessary physical appointments. Pay particular attention to the floorplan, dimensions, video (if there is one) as well as the location marker.

In order to offer flexible appointment times, we have a team of dedicated Viewings Specialists who will show you around. Whilst they know as much as possible about each property, in-depth questions may be better directed towards the Sales Team in the office.

If you would rather a ‘virtual viewing’ where one of the team shows you the property via a live streaming service, please just let us know.
