This grand, modern - day mansion enjoys a secluded location in the idyllic

ideal for commuting to Bristol, Cardiff, Newport and beyond.
Constructed to a high specification, the spacious property (approximately
9, 537 sq ft) has recently undergone a comprehensive refurbishment. It has a
stunning new kitchen, luxurious bathroom and en - suites, and has been stylishly
redecorated throughout. All the double glazed windows and exterior glazed
doors are newly installed and new carpets have been recently fitted
throughout. The immaculately presented accommodation includes four reception
rooms, five/six bedrooms and a two/three - bedroom annex, making it suitable for
large families and multi - generational living. It also has the benefit of level
wheelchair access and a recently - installed, well - maintained passenger lift to
the first floor.
The property has been fitted out with high quality drapes, lighting and
furnishings, carefully chosen by the vendors, one of whom is a professional
interior designer. These are all available to purchase, subject to
negotiation.
The L - shaped residence is situated in mature grounds of approximately 1. 3
acres, in an elevated, south - facing position, just above the highly desirable,
rural village of Llanvair Discoed. From the house and grounds, there are
spectacular views over the Severn Estuary and also to Wentwood Forest, the
largest ancient woodland in Wales and ninth largest in the UK, where there is
excellent walking, mountain biking and hacking.
Llanvair Discoed, with its ancient church and village pub, lies just north of
the A48 road, with easy access to the schools, shops and facilities in
Caldicot (under 6 miles); to the market town of Chepstow (about 7 miles); to
the pretty riverside town of Usk (8 miles) and to the city of Newport (10
miles). It falls within the catchment of the well - regarded Shirenewton Primary
School. Independent schools in the area include the Haberdashers' Monmouth
boys' and girls' schools, less than 20 minutes away. For golfers, the Celtic
Manor Golf Course and St Pierre Golf Club are both 7 miles distant.
**Step inside: - ** \ - The property is accessed from a quiet country lane
through electrically - operated wrought iron entrance gates, with an intercom
system. A sweeping, tree - lined, paved drive leads to the front of the house,
where there is a turning circle and parking for six cars in front of a pair of
integrated double garages.
Double glazed entrance doors, under a large and impressive portico, give
access to a bright and airy, reception hall with Travertine flooring. The
flexible, ground floor accommodation boasts four reception rooms. The
magnificent drawing room has newly - laid oak flooring and a wood burner fitted
into a handsome marble fireplace. The formal dining room has refurbished
parquet flooring, cornicing, a central ceiling rose and double French doors
leading though to a day room, which has oak flooring, large, floor - to - ceiling
bay windows and glazed doors to the expansive sun terrace which runs along the
front of the house. There is also a large family/TV room again with new oak
flooring and lpg fire set into a decorative marble fireplace.
In addition to these reception rooms, there is a large, flexible space, from
which a short flight of balustraded steps lead up to a mezzanine giving access
to the single storey annex. The vendors suggest: "It is large enough for a
grand piano, or would make an ideal music room or alternatively a reading room
or games room. " Furthermore, behind the integrated garages, with French doors
to the back garden, is a home gym.
The stunning, new kitchen has a range of Symphony shaker - style units with
marble work surfaces. There is a large central breakfast/work island and a
comprehensive range of inbuilt appliances, plus an American - style fridge
freezer, a wine cooler and a five - oven electric Aga. The attractive Carrara
marble effect porcelain floor tiles used in the kitchen are carried through
into the large, downstairs cloakroom, fitted with a marble - topped vanity unit.
The utility room has fitted cupboards, a commercial Miele wa. .
The property has ample storage and utility areas - there's a room which houses
an additional fridge and freezer; a large cleaning cupboard; a wine cellar; a
boiler room and a storage area for garden machinery.
From the main entrance hallway, stairs lead up to a spacious galleried landing
with a feature arched window over. The fabulous principal suite has three
large picture windows giving beautiful views over the garden and surrounding
countryside to the Severn Estuary. "We get a very clear view of the old Severn
bridge, which twinkles in the distance when it is lit up at night. " The
spacious bedroom has fitted cupboards, its own dressing room with bespoke
fitted wardrobes, a make - up room and a luxurious en - suite shower room
featuring a walk - in, waterfall shower and a marble - topped vanity unit.
The extremely spacious second principal bedroom shares the same views towards
the Severn Estuary and has a dressing room with fitted, mirrored wardrobes.
There are three further, beautifully presented double bedrooms, one with its
own dressing room, and each with a stylishly fitted en - suite shower room. On
this floor there is a further room, currently used as a home office, but which
could be used as an additional bedroom.
The impressive family bathroom has Carrera marble effect porcelain floor
tiles, an attractive double - sink vanity unit with a marble top and upstand and
is fitted with a free - standing roll - top bath positioned under a large bay
window. "The views are incredible. It is so private that you can sit in the
bath, without the need for blinds or curtains, and enjoy the view over the
fields towards Wentwood. "
The annex, along one side of the property, can be accessed from the mezzanine
but also has its own external door. It is currently arranged as guest
accommodation but could be used separately from the main house. There is a
kitchen, small WC and two double bedrooms, each with an en - suite shower room.
The room being used as the lounge also has an en - suite shower room, so could
be used as an additional bedroom. A further room that's being used as an
office could then serve as the lounge.
**Outside** \ - The property is set in well - tended grounds with large lawned
areas front and back, featuring established trees and mature planting. There
is a large raised sun terrace along the front of the property, another terrace
at the back and an area of decking.
"On fine days, we have lunch on the front terrace, enjoying the views towards
the Severn Estuary, over the trees and without a rooftop in the way. From the
kitchen, there are French doors to the rear patio and from about 3 o'clock
onwards, that' area is bathed in sunshine and that's where we entertain into
the evenings. "
