Set on a quiet country lane just outside Monmouth, this three-bedroom semi-detached stone home delivers classic period character and elevated countryside outlooks over Monmouthshire and the Black Mountains. Internally the house feels generous for a cottage, with exposed beams, two log burners, an open-plan living/dining/office flow and a well-equipped farmhouse-style kitchen with a range cooker and utility area. The south-facing picture windows frame the views and bring plenty of natural light to principal rooms.
Practical strengths include a garage and parking for two cars, a decent plot with a cottage-style lawn and mature planting, and a recently modernised bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower. The property is freehold, has double glazing (installation date unknown) and sits in a low-crime, peaceful hamlet with good road links to the A40 and Monmouth town centre.
Important considerations: the house is oil-fired with an oil boiler and radiators, and the solid sandstone/limestone walls are likely uninsulated — upgrading thermal performance will be needed if you want lower running costs. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average, so remote working may need a separate solution. There are visual signs in images suggesting exterior maintenance and possible damp risk in places; an independent survey is recommended to confirm structural and damp condition before purchase.
This home will suit buyers seeking rural character and views who accept some practical updating, or investors looking for a distinctive long-term rental with potential to add value through insulation, heating upgrades and targeted conservation works.
