Set on a large plot in a peaceful semi-rural lane, this converted barn offers rustic character with practical modern upgrades. Exposed beams, a mezzanine overlooking the open-plan living space, a feature log burner and a well-proportioned kitchen create a warm, flexible home suited to downsizers or those seeking a single-storey lifestyle with extra workspace.
The property includes a generous garden arranged for entertaining, covered patios, multiple storage sheds, a bespoke outdoor bar and a hot tub. A detached single garage and driveway parking add secure vehicle storage. Internally the layout provides a principal bedroom with adjoining walk-in wardrobe and a separate office/bedroom with its own external access — useful for home working or visitors.
Buyers should note practical and historical issues: the house is oil-heated (boiler and radiators) and has walls of uninsulated granite/whinstone as-built, which will affect running costs. The property has a septic tank for drainage. There was a water ingression event in 2020; Welsh Water accepted responsibility and remedial measures were implemented (wall tanking, block wall and three soakaways). While flood defences are in place and current official risk is shown as no risk, prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on long-term flood resilience.
Built before 1900 and finished to a characterful rustic standard, the home presents immediate comfort and scope for selective upgrading (insulation, heating modernisation). EPC rated C and freehold tenure provide an attainable ownership proposition in a quiet village-fringe location with reasonable road links to Newport and the M4 corridor.
