Notes and Comments:

Situation and Description
The property is beautifully situated within this thriving and popular village and enjoys extensive elevated southerly views. The village is very well serviced with a doctors’ surgery, veterinary practice, primary school, post office and village store, two public houses, village hall, and an award-winning fish and chip shop and much more, all within easy walking distance. The nearby A465 provides easy access to the market town of Abergavenny to the south and to the cathedral city of Hereford to the north.

The Old Rectory offers a rare opportunity to purchase an unspoilt period house in a stunning location which is just a short walk from amenities and some outstanding rural walks. Full of period features, the house has a very comfortable feel and offers spacious rooms with high ceilings and includes four large double bedrooms, three main reception rooms and four bathrooms, making it ideal as a family house. In our view, The Old Rectory offers huge potential for the discerning buyer and is set in large and established gardens which offer both privacy and protection.

On arrival, a front door and porch lead into an impressive reception hall with mosaic tiled floor, ceiling cornicing, lovely staircase rising to the first floor and fielded panel doors leading off. The main drawing room has an oak floor, ceiling cornicing, deep skirtings, an attractive marble
fireplace, and sash windows to the front and French doors leading out to the gardens. A separate dining room has a large south facing bay window and plenty of original features as well as a fitted wood burner and built in cupboards. Overlooking the drive at the front of the house, is a comfortable study, or snug which offers a quiet place to relax and includes shuttered windows to the front, a fireplace with fitted wood burner and fitted cupboards and bookshelves.

An inner hall then leads through to a good sized and practical kitchen/breakfast room, with four oven Aga, working surfaces, twin bowl sink, window to rear and useful pantry. The ground floor space is then supported by a cloakroom, larder/utility and storerooms. A door from the kitchen also provides access to the cellar.

From the reception hall a lovely staircase rises to an impressive first floor landing with sash window overlooking the drive. There are then four large and comfortable bedrooms, two with en-suites and a master suite with fitted wardrobes, a good-sized bathroom and a bay window with superb views over the church to the valley beyond. The remaining bedroom is then supported by a recently refurbished family bathroom.

Outside
The Old Rectory is beautifully positioned within the village and approached by a long private driveway from a village lane which sweeps up to the house. Here there is a parking and turning area and access to the attached garage, as well as an enclosed courtyard with garden stores.
The gardens form a particular feature and extend to approximately 2.31 acres and are well established with mature trees, shrubs, herbaceous borders and various pathways and corners to explore. A sun terrace makes the most of the elevated position, as does a revolving summerhouse. In one corner there is a small kitchen garden and below the house larger lawned areas offer plenty of space for energetic youngsters.
