Kinsons Farm is a really super “way of life” property. It could quite happily provide any owner with an income or at least a pension plan. A delightful stone built farmhouse with super outbuildings including a self contained guest suite and gallery surrounding a pretty courtyard, a babbling stream creates the boundary to the woodland beyond (stream within property boundary) with a pond, gazebo as well as approx 2.8acres of garden and land.
The main house has just been redecorated in subtle chalky pale cream tones that make the house feel light and bright but still suit the period style. The interior is virtually original, the owners preferring to keep the very practical layout instead of bashing it about with a lump hammer as so often has happened to these old farmhouses. Therefore it has retained the three delightful reception rooms with a new addition of a kitchen extension to the one side. The sitting room has views to the gardens and has a wonderful open fireplace where you can imagine toasting your toes on cold winter days. The other two reception rooms now used as a small dining and another reasonable size sitting/tv room. Since the kitchen has space for eating this dining room would offer possibilities for a study. There are three very pleasant bedrooms on the first floor and a charming bathroom fitted with period fittings totally appropriate for the age of the house. A new bedroom with staircase has been converted from the attic. This new bedroom made into two defined areas ostensibly to fit an ensuite. All the sanitary ware has been purchased but not yet installed. The whole area plastered and with velux windows installed but not yet painted. Outside in the courtyard are several really great outbuildings in excellent condition. One converted barn and hayloft now offers versatile accommodation for guests and a ground floor art gallery. However since both floors have independent access- one via the ground floor, the other via exterior stone steps it could easily be converted into two small apartments, perhaps one larger holiday let or even accommodation for family members in a multi generation family. Further to this is the old milking parlour virtually rebuilt by the owners, re roofed and with neat barge board frontage. The whole barn is in excellent order in fact complies to food production standard and was used for a brewhouse. This could be converted to various uses with minimal cost. Perhaps further accommodation or office suites, perhaps an alternative space for the art gallery or even workshops. Opposite on the other side of the courtyard is yet another outbuilding of stone construction again neatly plastered and fitted with good quality wall and floor units it offers a practical space. For artists or artisans looking to work from home with the gallery opposite it could be used to run small workshop courses or even a cookery school. It also occurs to us that this property would be ideal for someone wanting to set up a luxury Bed & Breakfast. Certainly the setting would be a major bonus for whatever you choose. This particular valley created by the lovely stream leading down to the river Wye far below is very attractive and extremely sought after. There are some very expensive and delightful properties tucked away in the lightly wooded hillside. The valley leads down to the famous Wye Valley where the river Wye wends it way through the hills from Monmouth towards Chepstow the whole area renowned and awarded an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The land is delightful with large gardens, a paddock, old pigs cotes, a large pond fresh water supplied by the babbling stream (reputedly with fish) and a delightful gazebo with seating to enjoy it all. On the opposite side of the road is the wild meadow which is in available for purchase but would need to be separately negotiated which has not been grazed for some years. This in the springtime is an absolute riot of bluebells as you can see from the owners photograph. You can imagine how perfumed the air would be from such profusion. In fact this meadow is one of 150 local wildlife sites that have been recognized by the Gwent Wildlife Trust as being especially important for the wildlife that they support. (NB There is no obligation associated with this recognition). Living here could be and absolute idyll, you don’t need too much imagination to see the life this property could give you. IN SUMMARY This is a really charming old property that could suit so many people from busy families to small business entrepreneurs to retirement couples looking for a home and perhaps some extra income. The situation is idyllic. Dappled woodland vistas and country lanes, slightly off the beaten track but close enough to make tourism work very well should that be an option. Holiday homes achieve premium money in this area. There is also a Michelin Star restaurant in the same hamlet. With great access to the Wye Valley and Tintern Abbey etc. The house and buildings are in excellent order and could be practical for a huge variety of uses including holiday accommodation hence the reference to tourism. The paddock could certainly take a pony or a few sheep or pigs etc and a keen gardener would have a fabulous time in the gardens. The meadowland opposite is also available to purchase which could complete a really attractive parcel of land and gardens. This kind of property comes on the market rarely so we can only recommend that you should view ASAP before someone else snatches it up.
