Set in a peaceful hamlet near Monmouth, Old Orchard Barn is a striking Grade II listed barn conversion arranged over multiple floors. The conversion, completed to a high specification in 2008, retains strong period character—exposed beams, a galleried landing and an imposing oak staircase—while offering generous modern living spaces and a large open-plan kitchen/dining area ideal for family life and entertaining.
The property sits in roughly 0.5 acres of principally lawned garden with wide rural views over rolling countryside and a gravel driveway providing vehicle access. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms spread across the upper floors give flexible accommodation for children, guests or home working. The size and layout suit a family seeking character alongside practical living space.
There are important practical points to note: the house is Grade II listed, which may limit alterations and require listed-building consents for changes. The building appears to have traditional stone walls with no known modern external insulation, and heating is by an oil-fired boiler with radiators. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average in this rural setting. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
Overall, this is a substantial, characterful rural family home offering far-reaching views and a generous plot. Buyers should budget for higher running costs (oil heating, council tax) and be prepared for the listed-status constraints and potential fabric upgrades (insulation, services) typical of converted historic buildings.
