A TASTEFULLY RENOVATED FORMER BARN (CIRCA 1850), SET WELL BACK OFF A MEANDERING AND PEACEFUL LANE, CLOSE TO OPEN FARMLAND. WOULD SUIT PROFESSIONAL COUPLE SEEKING A RURAL EASILY MANAGED AND COMPACT PROPERTY.

Particulars. Wonastow is a small hamlet which is about 1½ miles from the outskirts of and consists of several substantial rural homes, a sprinkling of cottages and a number of farms. The name includes quite a wide area of open farmland and this former barn is located off the meandering lane which links Wonastow to the Hendre, the latter being famous for its international sized golf course. Being close to Monmouth it relies on the facilities of the town which is best known for its educational system. However the town is linked by the A40/A449 dual carriageway to Newport and this allows easy access to Cardiff, West as well as the Heads of the Valleys, Cwmbran and Pontypool. To the North of Monmouth, near Ross-on-Wye, the M50 can be joined allowing swift access to the industrial Midlands. The property which is based on a small barn is not isolated as there is an adjacent cottage, while further up the lane there is the Methodist Gwern-Y-Saint Chapel, which was built in 1858 and which is thought to be somewhat younger than our client's barn. The latter has been beautifully converted to a high standard with a tiled floor finish throughout and having the benefit of double glazing and under floor heating.
