Set at the end of a private lane in Home Farm, this stone barn conversion offers authentic character, generous living space and a large plot ideal for family life. The house combines vaulted living areas and a recently renewed kitchen with original granite walls and slate roof, creating a comfortable home with countryside charm and modern touches. Fast broadband and direct rail links from Cardiff and Newport make commuting feasible, while several highly regarded schools are within easy reach.
Practical features include ample driveway parking for multiple vehicles and a double garage partially converted to provide an ancillary room and WC. The garage’s double-storey configuration presents realistic potential for an annexe or separate living space, subject to planning and building regulations. The tiered, well-kept gardens provide multiple outdoor seating areas and a manageable lawn for children and pets.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property’s external granite walls are assumed to have no insulation, and the mains heating runs on LPG via boiler and radiators — both factors that could affect running costs and any future retrofit work. The home sits in a hamlet classification with rural traits; while very private, some services and amenities are further afield. There is a public footpath crossing the bottom of the plot, though it is reportedly rarely used.
Overall this is a characterful family home with flexible space and development potential. It will suit buyers seeking countryside privacy close to commuter links and good schools, and those prepared to consider targeted upgrades to heating and insulation to improve efficiency and comfort.
