Stone House Barn is a substantial detached stone barn conversion in the small village of Newcastle in the beautiful rolling countryside around Monmouth Town on the Welsh borders. Originally one of the farm buildings it has now been converted by the farmer for his own use into a large and well proportioned home, full of character and interesting features. No expense has been spared to make it a practical, spacious and very attractive livable space.  Extensive use of timber beams plus   areas of solid oak flooring , quality windows with stone sills and large doors all give character and exude quality . We can see this property appealing to many would be purchasers requiring a character home but with modern conveniences. The house has certainly been built with entertaining in mind with a very large reception area with large windows/doors opening onto the terraces and garden. Truly a wonderful room for those family parties and Christmas get togethers.
There are three further family rooms, one of which has a cosy stone fireplace and one of the others currently used as a home   office/study (again excellent size).
The large kitchen is extensively fitted with solid walnut units and is currently fitted with a large cooking range and follows the farmhouse tradition allowing plenty of space for a very large central table and chairs and with large French windows/door  overlook the terrace and further to the views .
Four of the five bedrooms have ensuite facilities and three have fabulous vaulted beamed ceilings.

Access to the house is gained via a neat courtyard area and there is certainly plenty of parking. The garden has been geared to low maintenance and a very attractive flagstone terrace enclosed with low stone wall leads around the property with a water feature and the views taking centre stage.


IN SUMMARY
This is a very smart barn conversion built to the owners own specification and has quality stamped all over it (only now selling to emigrate). In our opinion it is well worth any serious buyer considering and certainly viewing. The house has a very attractive and practical layout and would make a super family home or possibly a Bed and Breakfast business opportunity. There is certainly plenty of car parking space. Some buyers may feel they would like a little more amenity garden but on such a good sized plot there is certainly the option of reducing the car parking area to perhaps put further lawns.
NB Opposite is a small stone 2 bedroomed cottage and further acreage (approx 47 Acres in total so we believe) and some modern outbuildings which are currently being retained by the vendor but there may be the option to buy outright if preferred by any purchaser .
