This home most definitely needs to be viewed to appreciate the size of the living space available. At first glimpse you may well assume it is a semi detached but in fact it is the whole building that is for sale. Perhaps not the most photogenic home from the outside (this could easily be improved) it is really quite a massive house. The main living accommodation on the first floor is light and airy with open plan areas that work incredibly well and include a 35ft Sitting/Dining Room plus TV/Play Room.
On entering via the vestibule, glass doors screen the main living areas and a full turn staircase leads to the lower floor accommodation.
The very large Sitting Room opens to a further area (now used for formal dining) in total over 35ft in length with a working fireplace, large picture and French windows overlooking the gardens. There is also another section of the L shaped room which could be used for a TV or Play/Room (11ft x 10ft). This in turn opens to the Kitchen/ Breakfast Room (24ft long). Hopefully these measurements should give you some idea of the size.
The Kitchen, another light and bright room is another very large space. Exactly what modern cooks look for, fully fitted with a designated cooking and work area but masses of space for a large table and chairs- great for family & entertaining (more dining space as previously mentioned in the Living Area).The Kitchen also has direct access to the gardens.
Further to the living rooms there are four Bedrooms and two good sized Bath and Shower Rooms on this floor (3rd on lower ground floor).
The Lower ground Floor can be accessed via the staircase from the upper floor or independently by entrances at the front or rear. This area also offers a large amount of space, currently divided up into a Sitting Room, Study, Utility, Shower Room and excellent size Bedroom (5). For someone wishing to use this as an annexe for perhaps an elderly relative it would be relatively inexpensive to convert the utility to a separate kitchen. The space is arranged so that there are several options of which rooms to use for what purpose particularly as several rooms have lovely views to the garden. There is also a cellar/storage room (only accessed from the Sitting Room above via trapdoor).
There are terraced gardens to the front with neat tarmac parking area for several cars (plenty). To the rear is a particularly large lawned area with a detached garage. A raised terrace leads from the Sitting Room /Dining Room. The whole garden area enclosed with post fencing and hedging. The house having views down to other village homes.
IN SUMMARY
We would imagine the house was built in quite a contemporary style initially (apparently a certain famous musician lived here in the past). Still a modern home & well maintained it could not now be described as Cutting Edge but actually it would not take too massive a budget to put a wow back. The exterior is a little dull but again with just a little imagination could be transformed the owner has now booked a painter . We felt by installing some interesting windows and perhaps a balcony and some smart terracing this would greatly improve the look. Inside the square footage offers any family a really super home and the layout would work extremely well for a multi generation household without anyone compromising on space.
Conversely this could also work for someone choosing to work from home requiring a large office space. Make no mistake for the price this home is an excellent buy and we would suggest you book a viewing to judge just how much you would get for your money. Certainly the rural position opposite fields but still within the village of Mitchel Troy- just off the Common is a particularly special location.
Monmouth town just a few minutes drive away and great access to the motorway networks @ Newport perhaps 20 minutes away.
