5 bedroom house

An outstanding (southerly facing) home, delightfully rural yet accessible at the end of one of the myriad of small country lanes in the village of Llanishen. Elevated, yet sheltered to the north, it commands superb panoramic views to the south and west over the Vale of Usk towards the Blorenge. With a light and airy contemporary feel, the house has been extended and refurbished on three levels. The heart of the house is a central feature with mezzanine and a full height part galleried staircase. All the main living spaces enjoy the stunning views, including the magnificent large, open plan kitchen/dining room and tranquil garden room. What makes this property even more unique are the tall bifold doors and windows in both the kitchen/dining and living rooms which, when opened, spectacularly unite the garden with the interior to create a sensational entertaining/living area. There are three further reception rooms, including an office and studio (initially conceived as a granny annexe). The house features 5 bedrooms (2 en-suite) and planning for a sixth bedroom and ensuite in the huge attic which has been part converted and provides a useful space as a playroom, office etc. There are attractive formal gardens with a south patio, again with amazing views, and, at a higher level, a sloping paddock with separate access and room for a barn. In all about 1.6 acres.

THE ATTRACTIVE GARDENS WITH SPECTACULAR SOUTH WESTERLY VIEWS
The property is approached off the lane via a gated entrance leading into a generous parking and turning area. Wrapping around the corner of the house on the east and west side is an extensive terrace taking full advantage of the views, particularly to the south and west. Beyond the terrace are areas of shrub and flower beds with a good area of lawn enclosed by clipped hedging. In one corner is a TIMBER GARDEN SHED.

THE VALUABLE PASTURE PADDOCK AND OUTBUILDINGS
At high level above the house and with arguably the best views of all is a paddock extending to 1.6 acres. Light and sunny with well defined boundaries comprising hedging and mature trees with stoned access off the lane with ample further parking and the frame of a small Dutch Barn (with inspection pit) which could be easily re-instated to provide further garaging/ workshop/storage etc., or alternatively an extra dwelling/annexe (subject to planning permission). There is ample room here for a caravan, boat and several vehicles. Laid mainly to grass with wild daffodils, this is a beautiful spot. A private tarmacadam drive runs through the paddock to an upper gate on the top lane providing separate access if required. Near the house there is a further GARDEN SHED and GARDEN STORE.
