Swn Yr Afon Tredunnock | | | NP15 1LY Seller Insight

Beautifully positioned on the edge of the highly sought after village of Tredunnock is Swn Yr Afon, an imposing Georgian-style family home that was built just four years ago. “We moved to the house in 2015 and I’d say that there were a whole range of factors that attracted us to it,” says the vendor. “It’s tucked away in a very private spot just a few minutes from the centre of the village, so it’s very secluded here but by no means isolated, and the views are just incredible. The house itself is very spacious and lovely to look at; we have a gorgeous little one-bed annex, which is a fabulous feature of the property, and we also benefit from having a stunning garden. In short, I’d say it’s a house that ticks all the boxes.”

“The house was designed and built by a local property developer, and I have to say he did a fabulous job. From the outside it has the look of an old manor house, however inside it’s the ideal modern family home but with touches here and there that give it real character and charm. The rooms are all generously proportioned and the main living areas radiate from a fabulously large reception hall, which has a tremendous impact as you walk in. We have more formal rooms for relaxing and entertaining as well as a huge, open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that’s not only the perfect family space, but also a brilliant room for a party. It’s a house that works incredibly well and it’s also been designed to incorporate a wealth of eco-friendly technology, so for such a large property it’s really quite economical to run.”

“The house sits really nicely within the plot and over the years we’ve spent an awful lot on landscaping so the garden is looking just lovely. We have a beautiful fountain to the front of the house, a huge patio terrace to the back that overlooks the rolling fields that surround us and we’ve created a fantastic area for the children with a summerhouse, a slide, a treehouse and a swing, so all in all it’s a very family-friendly space with something for everyone. The garden is definitely a feature of the property that I’ll really miss when we leave.”

“I love the lounge simply because it’s a very large but cosy feeling space, especially when the wood burner is roaring away, but the open-plan kitchen is the room to which everyone seems to naturally gravitate and it’s one that really has the wow factor.”

“Within the house and garden there’s a tremendous feeling of peaceful seclusion and the views across the valley really are something else. However, as I said before, we’ve never felt isolated living here. I can hop in the car and be in Usk or Cwmbran in ten minutes and the nearby road and rail links are very good so it’s easy to travel further afield.”

“The annex is a fabulous feature of the property and the possibilities for its use are endless, we used it as a music studio, but it could be used as a granny annex, for visiting guests or even as a little rental.”

“The house is just stunning, but I think it’s the setting that I’ll miss most when we leave, it’s a place where you can come home, forget the stresses and strains of everyday life and totally relax.”*
