This outstanding conversion of a Seventeenth Century threshing barn and its
attached stable and cart shed provides generous, flexible accommodation with
options for multi - generational living or additional lettings income.
Located in the popular village of Llangybi, amidst the beautiful rolling
countryside of the Usk Valley, this superb, historic home is a short walk from
the traditional village pub, The White Hart. All the facilities of the
charming market town of Usk are just three miles away, The Cwrt Bleddyn Hotel
with its spa and gym is nearby and the Ryder Cup Celtic Manor golf course is
just under 8 miles away. The property benefits from excellent access to the M4
corridor and on to Newport, Cardiff or Bristol and there are mainline rail
services from Newport, which was a major factor for the vendors, who travel to
London for work.
The Grade II listed property was converted in 2002 in a manner which
sympathetically introduced high quality, contemporary enhancements whilst
retaining the building's ancient ambience. At the heart of the stone - built
property is the stylish re - imagining of the entrance to the threshing barn,
which is open to the a - frame, exposing the historic beams, some of which are
thought to be medieval and reputed to have come from now - ruined Llangybi
Castle.
Entranced by the property's history, the fantastic beams and the extremely
high standard of the conversion, the vendors also love its light, airy and
spacious feel. There are beautiful views across the garden to the meadows of
the River Usk valley.
**Step Inside: - ** \ - From a central courtyard, a door opens to a stunning
kitchen/breakfast room, converted from a Nineteenth Century farm building
added to the original barn. The room is open to the a - frame and features
exposed beams. It has travertine flooring and is fitted with stylish, hand -
built kitchen units, with maple worktops and incorporating a range cooker.
A door from the kitchen opens to the former threshing barn, where a spacious
living room comprises a cosy seating area in front of a wood burning stove
opening up to the centre part of the barn, which soars up to the full height
of the building. The former cart doors either side are glazed and on one side
they incorporate a glazed door which opens to the courtyard and provides a
formal entrance if required. The vendors have made a seating area here, from
which they can enjoy views of the garden and countryside beyond.
An attractive split staircase, crafted in ash with glazed panels, leads up to
a galleried reception room on one side and to the principal bedroom suite on
the other. The reception room is full of character, being open to the a - frame
and having a glazed arrow - slit window in the end wall as well as a sliding
rooflight. It is currently used as a TV room, but has a range of potential
uses and could be turned into a further bedroom. On the opposite side of the
staircase, outside the principal bedroom suite, there is a galleried seating
area which overlooks the living area below. The delightful, light and airy
principal bedroom features exposed beams and a - frame and has two arrow - slit
windows on one wall and a window in the opposite wall, as well as rooflights
and a window in the end wall. It has a luxurious en - suite bathroom, with a
mirrored wall and the remaining walls fully tiled. There is a shaped bath as
well as a separate shower cubicle.
Back downstairs, from the end of the living room three steps lead up to a pair
of glazed doors which open to a study, a contemporary - style space yet with the
charm of arrow - slit windows with deep slate windowsills. From here a door
leads through to a sun room/gym which has glazed doors on two sides which
slide open to a patio.
Leading off from the opposite side of the study, there is a charming bedroom
which benefits from a modern ensuite shower room and a walk - in wardrobe.
The other side of the property, leading off from an inner hallway accessed
from the kitchen, there is an impressive bedroom suite (which could be used as
the principal suite if preferred). It incorporates a ground floor bedroom with
exposed ceiling beams served by a fully - tiled en - suite bathroom. Above the
bedroom there is a galleried mezzanine, currently used as a study with a view
looking out over the garden towards Wentwood.
Downstairs, accessed off the inner hallway and next to the bedroom, there is a
useful boiler room with plenty of storage space. Leading off the end of the
inner hallway there is a downstairs WC and a utility room, with space and
plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer.
This wing of the property was formed from a converted stone - built Nineteenth
Century stable block and retains original beams and lots of character. It
includes a charming interconnected annexe, which comprises a bedroom, modern
galley kitchen, shower room and a reception room, with access into the
courtyard. Alongside is a self - contained one - bedroom cottage, named Dairy
Cottage, which has a similar layout. The interconnected annexe has proved
ideal for inter - generational living and was one of the attractions for the
vendors. The cottage has provided lettings income and would equally make ideal
holiday accommodation.
The property is double glazed and there is underfloor heating throughout the
main part of the property and a separate boiler serving radiators in the
annexe and cottage.
**Outside** \ - The barn and the wing in the converted stable block overlook a
central courtyard, approached via a drive from the road. The courtyard
provides ample parking and at one end of the stable block wing there is a
double garage with electrically operated timber doors. The garage benefits
from electricity and central heating. Next door there is a large
workshop/mower store with a pair of double doors to the courtyard.
The property has outstanding views over its large, level, lawned garden and
then over open farmland to the Usk Valley and Wentwood Forest beyond. A large
paved patio in front of the sun room/gym takes full advantage of this lovely
outlook. The lovely gardens include colourful herbaceous borders and shrubs
and specimen trees. Along one boundary there is a beech hedge and a stream.
