3 bedroom cottage

Canal Cottage is a delightful three bedroom period home enjoying a spectacular location in the sought after and historic village of Llanover, in the heart of the Monmouthshire countryside, on the bank of the Brecon and Monmouthshire canal. The location affords exceptional views across the Usk Valley towards the Skirrid Mountain while also providing easy access to the wide ranging amenities of Abergavenny. Originally a lengthman's dwelling, a historic role in the maintenance of the canal, the property retains the benefit to its heritage with an option to secure a mooring directly in front of the property. The cottage has been substantially extended and sympathetically refurbished retaining range of original features including flagstone floors, exposed timbers and stones fireplace in the main living area. The accommodation is set across a number of half levels, comprising a welcoming entrance hall with steps up to lounge which overlooks the canal, extending through to the superb kitchen/diner with triple aspect that overlooks both the canal and adjacent farmland. Two sets of stairs lead to the upstairs accommodation with two double bedrooms on one side including a master bedroom with ensuite shower room and extensive storage, and a modern three piece bathroom, while to the other there is a further double bedroom. From the hall, steps lead down to a lower level that comprises an office area and utility room. Canal Cottage is approached by a gravel driveway that provides parking for several vehicles, with the front of the property bordered by a low level wall that adjoins the tow path of the canal. There is a generous and mature garden to the front with extensive lawn and apple trees, as well as a detached workshop store, and original pig sty. While the obvious focus of the location centres on the canal, the superb views across the Usk Valley are simply breathtaking, a point highlighted by the raised composite decking added by the current owners accessed via double doors from the kitchen. With the vast majority of properties in the area still being owned by Llanover Estate this is an exceptional opportunity to secure a period home offering an unrivalled combination of quality, period character and a superlative location.
