LOCATION & SITUATION

Blaengawney Farm enjoys an excellent location positioned on the side of

Mynydd Maen which is the mountain that runs between the town of Newbridge

and village of Hafodyrynys, close to the towns of Crumlin and Pontypool,

benefiting from a rural location with private feel and boasting excellent views.



Positioned at the end of a third-party owned shared farm drive and surrounded

by Natural Resources Wales Woodland, the property is accessed via a gated

entrance into the yard area with ample parking directly adjacent to the

Farmhouse and outbuildings.



Blaengawney Farm has a semi-private position yet there are excellent

connections to the main road network, with easy access to the A472, A4042

and A467 as well as the M4 and M48 at Newport. The towns of Newbridge,

Crumlin and Pontypool are only two and four miles away respectively, offering

a full range of amenities with an excellent range of schools, busy town centres,

and extensive range of recreational and leisure facilities/clubs.



Further recreational facilities can be found at Newport, with all the benefits a

city has to offer, such as Friars Walk Shopping Centre, a railway station offering

direct trains to Cardiff, Bristol and London, bus station, cafes, restaurants,

excellent schools and sports venues.



THE FARMHOUSE

The Farmhouse is accessed from the third-party owned farm drive. The property

benefits from an excellent hardstanding yard and parking area to the front of

the house providing parking for a number of cars. A formal levelled pond garden

is positioned opposite the house on the far side of the yard with a lawned and

paved walled garden to the immediate front of the house with paved terrace to

the rear. The traditional barn and office are located the other side of the access

track on the western side of the yard area from the farmhouse and provide an

excellent opportunity for a range of possible uses (subject to obtaining the

necessary planning consents).



The main entrance to the property is through a large door to the front. This

elevation opens directly into a spacious utility room with tiled floor, worktop,

and Belfast sink. Directly beyond this is a wet room equipped with walk-in

shower, wc, and wash basin. From the side of the utility a step leads up to the

kitchen with stone tiled floor and fitted with original wooden wall and base units, ceramic sink, a five-ring gas hob, an oil fired aga and a standalone electric oven and hob. The kitchen has a light and airy feel with windows to the front and rear and external door to the rear.



Beyond the kitchen is the sitting room with windows to the front and rear and

fireplace with log burning stove. A central hallway provides access to the dining

room with boarded oak floor, fireplace and window to the front providing views

of the yard and pond garden beyond. The room is light and modern whilst

showcasing the original features of the Farmhouse. A door on the rear of the

dining room provides access to a room currently used as an additional office

space, which houses the boiler and has an external door to the rear terrace.



From the central hallway stairs, with under stair cupboard, lead up to the first

floor with three spacious double bedrooms and two modern family bathrooms

featuring a free-standing bath, wc and wash basin in the first and a walk-in

shower, bath, wc and wash basin in the second. Historically one of the bathrooms

used to be a bedroom providing scope for any purchaser to convert back to a

bedroom if required.



The overall accommodation is modern, bright, spacious, and well thought

out with many of the Farmhouse's traditional features and beams featuring

throughout the property.



Externally, to the rear of the property is a terraced area which catches the

morning sun. To the front of the property is a walled formal lawned garden area

with patio for alfresco dining and outlook over the yard and beyond.



OUTBUILDINGS AND LAND

Directly north-west of the Farmhouse is the traditional four bay barn with block

walls and fibre cement roof. Three bays are fully enclosed. Due to the size and

condition of the barn it certainly has potential for a range of possible uses subject to gaining the necessary planning consents. Attached to the southern elevation of the barn is the kennel block with five kennels.



A lean-to, extending off the rear of the barn, has been sensitively converted into

an office, providing a light an open working area with windows to the front and

side. Steps then lead down to a communal kitchenette/dining area with worktop,

metal sink, boarded floor and windows to the side and rear. A downstairs

cloakroom is accessed off the kitchenette with wc and wash basin.



To the south of the yard is the pond garden with formal walled path with split level circular patio areas and walkways surrounding two wildlife ponds with walkway and recycled plastic deck area. Having been relined approximately ten years ago the ponds themselves are teaming with life and have an array of beautiful plants including an abundance of waterlilies providing a place of peaceful relaxation and connection to the natural environment.



The land at Blaengawney Farm is set over four main compartments positioned

to the north-east of the yard and buildings comprising an orchard and three field

enclosures of permanent pasture.



The orchard extends to approximately 1.2 acres and is stocked with approximately

120 cider apple trees including Ellis Bitter, Harry Masters Jersey and Dabinett

varieties and has been established for twelve years. It is understood that the crop is sold every year.



Beyond the orchard to the north is the principal field enclosure extending to

approximately 4.12 acres. The land is accessed independently from the farm

track to the east and also via the orchard from the south and features a water

trough on the southern fence line. North-east of the principal enclosure are two

rectangular field enclosures extending to 2.42 acres and 1.76 acres respectively.



The land is all gently sloping improved permanent pasture which has been well

maintained through grazing with cattle and sheep, mown for hay/silage and is in

very good heart. The internal fences and boundaries are in good condition, with

stock proof fencing and hedging throughout.



In all Blaengawney Farm extends to approximately 10.82 acres (4.38 hectares)
