This substantial Victorian detached house occupies about half an acre on the edge of Usk, combining period character with flexible modern living across three storeys. High ceilings, original detail and large rooms suit a growing family or those needing guest or home-office space. The top floor provides a separate suite ideal for independent living or long-stay visitors.
The ground floor offers a formal lounge, dining room, modern kitchen with island, utility/boot room and a conservatory with underfloor heating opening to a sun terrace. Parking is generous via an electronic gated entrance and shared driveway, with additional off-street space for several cars. The rear garden is professionally landscaped with a pond, terraces and enclosed lawn — a private, usable plot for children and entertaining.
Practical points: heating is oil-fired to radiators; external walls are traditional stone with no known insulation (assumed); double glazing upgraded post-2002. The property has a recorded flooding history and some flood-prevention measures are in place — buyers should review flood records and insurance implications. Also note its rural hamlet location: excellent mobile and fast broadband, but longer journeys for some services.
Overall this is a large, characterful family home with scope for further upgrading or adaptation. It will particularly appeal to buyers seeking space, privacy and countryside lifestyle within easy reach of Usk and good commuter routes to Cardiff and Bristol.
