Set within a quarter-acre plot in peaceful Penycaemawr, The Old Stables is an impressive detached barn conversion that balances character features with practical family living. Vaulted ceilings, exposed stone walls and two wood-burning stoves create a warm, atmospheric interior across generous living spaces, while large windows and bifold doors flood rooms with countryside views.
The ground floor has a long open-plan kitchen/dining room with a Rangemaster, integrated dishwasher, Belfast sink, oak worktops and a pizza oven — ideal for family cooking and entertaining. A sitting room with solid oak flooring and bifold doors sits to the front; its roof was built to allow a future bedroom extension above (subject to planning permission), offering clear potential to increase accommodation.
Outside, private parking for multiple vehicles and a raised patio lead to a level, lawned garden. A 1.1-acre paddock with wooden stables adjoins the property and is available by separate negotiation, useful for those wanting grazing or extra land. The house is offered chain free and sits within easy driving distance of Newport, Cardiff and Bristol via the M4.
Practical points to note: services include a private borehole water supply and private drainage via a septic tank; heating is by wood-burning stoves and room heaters though mains gas is recorded as the main fuel source in the area. Council Tax is band F and any purchaser should be comfortable with a rural setting and the responsibilities of private water and drainage.
This home will suit buyers seeking a characterful, move-in-ready rural house with scope to personalise and expand. It’s particularly attractive to those who value outdoor space, quiet hamlet living, and good commuter links to larger centres.
