Outside are formal gardens with panoramic views, a valuable range of
outbuildings and stables and a detached leisure building with indoor swimming
pool. There are some 24 acres including old woodland and miles of walks and
rides in the surrounding countryside.
Although rural and approached off a small country lane the property is also
easily accessible. It is under 3 miles from the M4 at The Coldra (Celtic
Manor) so is easily accessible to all centres of South East Wales, Cardiff and
Bristol. London trains are from Newport or Bristol Parkway, which is just over
20 miles away. There are excellent shopping, sporting and educational
facilities close at hand.
**Outside** \ - the formal gardens with stunning views
**Detached leisure building with indoor swimming pool**
The approach is off the country lane via electrically operated security gates
onto a sweeping drive that encircles a wonderful old oak tree. The front
gardens are partly walled and comprise wide areas of lawn with wide stone
steps to the impressive front entrance. To the rear are further gardens and a
wide westerly terrace, overlooking the Vale of Usk, and probably the best of
the incredible views. Close by is the boiler room with Biomass boiler. A short
distance across the lawn is a large detched leisure building with indoor
swimming pool and changing facilities.
The stable block, manege, paddock & woodland
Off the drive, and backing onto a large paddock, is an excellent modern stable
with tack room, and access to the outdoor manege. There is excellent hacking
on the doorstep with miles of rides and walks in the surrounding lanes, and
nearby Wentwood Forest. The remaining grounds comprise a lovely area of
ancient woodland.
In all some 24 acres
