Located on the fringe of Llanddewi Rhydderch village, within the Brecon Beacons / Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, circa 3.5 miles from the historic town of Abergavenny and excellent road and rail links. The barn was tastefully converted from a former agricultural dwelling to create an attractive home with versatile accommodation. The interior combines the traditional features and character of the original building combined with a contemporary flair. A superb family home located in a rural, although not isolated, position. Adjoining the barn to the rear is the original farmhouse and although a close neighbour, the barn is not overlooked with each property being orientated in opposite directions. The barn is complemented by pretty, mature gardens with views across open countryside, lawns, an orchard and a barbeque hut.
Ground Floor
Entered via the main front door into the entrance hall, with flagstone floor. To one side of the entrance hall is a snug with feature wood burning stove and stable door opening onto delightful gardens which adjoin open fields with superb, uninterrupted views. On the opposite side of the hall is the door to the open plan kitchen/dining room with flagstone floor. The kitchen is fitted with a modern range of cupboards which are in keeping with the farmhouse style of the room. Light floods into the dining area through French doors opening out onto the front garden. To the rear of the dining area is the main staircase to the first floor landing, whilst behind the kitchen is a useful utility/boot room and cloakroom.

The dining area flows through to the sitting room with an attractive inglenook fireplace fitted with wood burning stove, set on a clay tiled hearth. An exposed stone wall and exposed timbers are a nod to the original agricultural building. Glazed picture windows capture views across the Usk Valley.

The principal bedroom has three windows, one a decorative “owl” window and a high level display/storage area. A door leads to the en-suite bathroom. The useful studio is accessed via a below head height original beam, and has a low level window affording views to open countryside.
