This superbly presented converted barn sits in a semi - rural setting, in an
'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty', on the outskirts of the popular village
of St Arvans, within a small exclusive development of similar properties.
Reached via a private road providing sole access to this barn development,
giving a peaceful and tranquil setting with no vehicular through road and
associated noise.
The property has been sympathetically and thoughtfully converted in 2000 and
exudes style and character with exposed brickwork, original exposed oak beams,
painted floorboards, 'Aga'. This spacious unique family home provides just

area, providing parking for just one neighbour, and for two cars in front of
the attached garage for The Stables. There is additional parking, solely for
The Stables, for two further cars alongside the shared driveway that leads
into the courtyard. The beautiful established mature cottage gardens, which
provide a lovely sun trap, were largely designed by well - renowned multiple
Chelsea gold medal winner gardener, Peter Dowle.
