5 bedroom detached house for sale

Ty-Canol is a farmhouse, with much character and charm, believed to date to the 1580's with later additions in the 18th and 19th centuries. Located on the fringe of the village of Llanvapley, betwixt Abergavenny and Monmouth. The farmhouse was substantially updated in 2019/2020 with investment in a ground source heat pump, a new domestic sewage treatment plant and new roof. The interior, rich with character and period features, is waiting for a new owner to add their own design and flair. The farmhouse has views over the rolling Monmouthshire countryside and offers an attractive garden, a separate orchard and stone barns with potential for conversion (subject to the necessary planning permissions). Ty-Canol adjoins a working farm and some of the farm buildings are located along the shared driveway to the house. Ty-Canol offers the perfect combination of an authentic period property in a rural location, with views and good access to transport links.

Ground Floor
Enter through the entrance door, located to the side of the house into an entrance hall with room for coats and boots and a doors to a shower/utility room and to the dining room. The utility room houses the workings for the ground source heat pump and provides storage together with a Belfast style sink on a brick plinth, a shower and an interesting feature with an old, galvanised water tank. From the entrance hall continue through to the dining room with its magnificent stone fireplace, the central, impressive and 'quirky' beam which was in situ some 400 years ago when a fire is believed to have caused the split in the beam (it has been checked by a structural engineer and deemed safe to hold the ceiling in place). Exposed stone walls and wooden panelled walls add to the character of the dining room which has ample space for a family sized table and chairs.

...
From the dining room are doors to the sitting room and kitchen. The sitting room has windows over looking the garden and is flooded with light. The character of this wonderful period house is evident again with the stone fireplace, housing a wood burning stove set on a stone hearth, exposed ceiling beams and built in book shelves to either side of the fireplace. The kitchen is from the dining room and has a door leading to the garden and the front of the house. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wood painted rustic style cupboards with work surface over, space for the usual kitchen appliances including a range cooker.

First Floor
Stairs rise from the dining room to the first floor landing which provides access to two large double bedrooms and to the rear of the landing, two slightly smaller rooms, all served by a family bathroom. The two smaller bedrooms are divided by a partition wall which could, subject to checks by a qualified person, be removed to create one large bedroom with an en-suite. On the first floor landing are storage cupboards.

Second Floor
From the first floor, a painted wooden staircase leads to the second floor to a fabulous attic room featuring heavy oak A-frames, exposed floorboards, and Velux windows, a perfect study, studio or children's den.

Outside
Ty-Canol is approached via a shared farm track, off a country lane which leads to the farmhouse and continues to the farm. Off the farm track, prior to reaching the house, is a cow barn which is used to house cows during the winter months. The farmhouse, gardens and the stone former agricultural barns lie to one side of the farm track, on the opposite side is a private parking space with room for several vehicles and a beautiful orchard with views across the Monmouthshire rolling countryside. To the other side of the orchard is another parking area, which does not belong to Ty-Canol but there is an agreement that a car can be parked in this space. Adjoining the farmhouse are the attractive gardens which comprise, in the more formal area of the garden, lawn, planted beds and shrubs and a natural area with mature hedge borders and trees.

Stone Former Agricultural Barns
To one side, but detached from, the farmhouse are two attached stone-built barns, one with external steps leading to a second floor. Other outbuildings include a 'lean to' and store shed. The stone barns present an excellent opportunity for conversion, to either guest accommodation/holiday lets or perhaps a studio or office for personal use. Any conversion of the buildings would be subject to planning and building regulations.
