Long Barn is a substantial stone barn conversion set in about 2.1 acres of private grounds, offering versatile family living and clear multi‑generational potential. The main house provides five bedrooms with generous reception space and an attached single‑storey annexe; a separate detached one‑bed Coach House offers independent accommodation that has previously been let. Wide floor‑to‑ceiling windows and a balcony take in open valley views across Monmouthshire, and the plot includes a sizable steel agricultural building plus workshop and extensive parking.
The property suits buyers seeking space, self‑contained annex accommodation and agricultural/storage capacity. Heating is by oil-fired boiler with underfloor heating; windows are modern double glazed and the conversion work is relatively recent (circa 2003–2006). The outbuildings, paddock and hardstanding create clear scope for small‑holding, storage or hobby farming uses subject to any necessary consents.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks arising from the location and setup. There is no mobile signal on site and broadband speeds are very slow, which will affect home working and connectivity. The property is served by oil heating (higher running costs than mains gas) and there is an electricity wayleave across the land in favour of National Grid. The size of the buildings and grounds means ongoing maintenance and running costs will be above average.
Overall this is a rare rural offering for families or multigenerational households wanting substantial indoor space, separate accommodation and large, functional grounds. For purchasers who prioritise privacy, outdoor space and flexible ancillary buildings, Long Barn presents tangible lifestyle and income opportunities, provided the connectivity and servicing considerations are acceptable.
