Millstone Barn Abergavenny NP7 8SU £390,000 .0 AN ATTRACTIVELY CONVERTED RESIDENTIAL BARN, AFFORDING 4 BEDROOMS AND 3/4 RECEPTION AREAS, BEING PART OF AN IMAGINATIVE BARN COMPLEX LOCATED ON THE EDGE OF A SMALL HAMLET WITH VIEWS OVER THE ADJACENT FARMLAND. Particulars. The hamlet of Llantilio Crossenny lies amidst unspoilt undulating countryside so typical of this part of Monmouthshire. The community is served by the surprisingly wide range of facilities at nearby Raglan (about 10 minutes away by car) including a Health centre, several general stores/mini markets, Post Office, Hotel an Inn, garage, several Churches, Gentleman's outfitters and even a Fish & Chip Shop. Although the village has a Primary School, there is a well regarded school at neighbouring Cross Ash, which is closer, being about 3 miles away. The major shopping centres of Abergavenny and Monmouth, both with excellent leisure and senior educational facilities, are close by (7 and 9 miles respectively) the former having a rail connection to Newport and mid Wales. While the area is quite rural, one does not need to travel very far before being able to connect to a fast dual carriageway or motorway, allowing rapid commuting to Mid & West Wales (via the A40 or Heads of the Valleys Road), South Wales (via the M4) or by crossing either of the Severn Bridges, bringing the Home Counties and the West Country within two hours travelling time. Millstone Barn is aptly named for its Millstone is still to be seen in the main garden and is one of three barns which lie close to White House Farm, all three having been converted to residential use. Our Client Vendors purchased about 7 years ago and set about renewing and refurbishing some of the conversion work including the renewal of the stained pine boarded floors with superior Oak. The RSJ's to the ceilings received Oak cladding while the Dining Room floor was replaced by Travertine stone, the Kitchen having a slate floor finish. While the Garage has been converted into a workshop which could be reinstated if necessary. While we anticipate that the buyer for Millstone Barn will be a family not dissimilar from our Client's, this property might appeal to a buyer who has equine or poultry interests as the vendor rents an adjacent field (which extends to approximately 5 acres) from a third party.
