3 bedroom terraced house for sale

Welcome to a pretty period property bursting with character, light and abundant charm, tucked away behind a leafy residential road within a terrace row of delightful cottages.

This most attractive of homes has been Grade II listed by Cadw for its 'special interest as a part of the important group of historic buildings in the suburb of Overmonnow and as one of the few off-street terraces surviving in Monmouth'.

The distinctive and attractive row of homes are accessed along a pretty flagstone pathway where, through a foliage archway opposite the front door, you will find the pretty front garden, and at the rear of the cottage there's more peaceful outside space.

Both gardens offer a pretty place to park yourself to relax or a party zone to entertain friends and family, as well as the practical additions of a greenhouse and shed.

Inside, the cottage is packed with stunning character features, from the flagstone floor to the stripped wood shutters, from the wall beams to the internal panelled doors, from the log burner to the charming free-standing kitchen.

There's a spacious yet cosy living room with a log burner, a kitchen diner with utility room, pantry and access to the garden plus three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, all offering an abundance of mesmerising character.

The cottage is nestled within an attractive area of Monmouth south west of the Monnow river, with the historic and distinctive stone bridge and its tower gate just around the corner leading to all the town centre has to offer within a very short walking distance.

From practical day-to-day needs such as a doctor's surgery to one of the best schools in the county, to more relaxing activities such as shopping, socialising and sport - this popular market town has all you need for work, rest and play.

Being on the edge of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers the chance to regularly get the boots on or the bike out to explore one of Wales' most stunning locations, or go up a level and dive into river-based activities or take the heart rate right down to relaxed via a gentle stroll and a picnic on the river bank.

If leaving the town is required the A40 is the main route north to Birmingham and south to the M4 and beyond, but this most beautiful of cottages will always call you back with a longing to return to somewhere very special to call your home.

Step inside this much-loved cottage and you're stepping into a property that has been a home since the early to mid-19th century, and although it has undergone a scheme of renovation and restoration the balance between retaining character and creating a home for the present and the future is perfectly achieved.

Combining two former cottages in the terrace, numbers 3 and 4, has led to a spacious lounge that greets you as soon as you open the front door with an inviting combination of natural materials and peaceful, neutral decor.

The whole cottage oozes character with exposed wood as a mesmerising feature within most spaces that adds not only charm but visually warmth and tactile texture. In this welcoming lounge the stripped wood shutters, cupboards and beams are a triumph and the decision to expose the wall beams at the end of the space to create a partial partition between this reception space and the staircase is genius.

The log burner nestled into the chimney breast adds extra warmth to this already cosy and comfortable room and as the colder weather begins to creep into the days, gathering around it on squishy sofas with family or friends as the warm waves wash over the room, is an absolute pleasure.

The slate flagstone floor adds another layer of charm and a visual connection to the rear kitchen diner as it flows through the doorway and into this second sociable space.

The kitchen diner is found adjacent to the lounge rather than at the rear resulting in both spaces being able to boast oodles of light streaming inside from the dual aspect windows, combined with a view of both the front and back gardens.

Cooking up a hearty feast, or even just a snack, is a wonderful shared experience with friends sitting at the dining table chatting before sharing a meal that creates shared memories. During warming months, or if the cook has a mishap that results in a smell, a refreshing breeze can be invited in through the door that leads directly to the..

As well as being understatedly pretty, this charming kitchen keeps the cottage character going with more stripped wood and a collection of free-standing units that can offer practical areas too. There's a pantry hugging one corner and a wall of exposed wood hiding a handy utility space behind it.

There are more stunning multi-paned windows adorned with stripped wood shutters to marvel at in the kitchen and they continue upstairs in the three bedrooms. Each of these slumber spaces are doubles and all can boast an absorbing view at their window that easily persuades you to linger.

The principal bedroom can demand a higher level of attention, boasting two handy alcoves either side of the chimney breast that are home to ample storage. It's a comfortable and cocooning space, with stripped floorboards adding warmth underfoot and a calm and simple decor that lets the exposed wood be the star of the show, a combination that creates a relaxed atmosphere that will easily send you off to sleep.

This welcoming and cosy vibe is replicated in the remaining two bedrooms and the family bathroom, with more honey-blonde wood on display and a bath placed next to the window so a view of swaying tree-tops or a sky full of stars can join you in the bath as you relax in the bubbles after a busy day.

Outside - Step outside into an idyllic cottage garden, but first you have to find the cottage by wandering down a charming flagstone pathway that meanders past the front door of the neighbouring homes in this delightful terrace.

Before you even push open the front door and explore the house and step out into the rear garden there's a bonus outside space to investigate. Through a foliage archway dripping in leaves opposite the front door there's a front garden, mostly hidden behind a hedge, that will captivate you.

Awash with an abundance of flowers, shrubs and small trees this enchanting parcel of land is the perfect place to grow your own produce with the support of the onsite greenhouse and shed.

It could be a private pocket of outdoor space to put up a deckchair and relax surrounded by nature, even though you're located within a busy market town, while your tomato plants grow in the sunshine.

But it's not the only place for the garden furniture to find a home - the rear garden is waiting to equally enthral you with a private space of lawn and patio against a backdrop of trees.

A peaceful tranquillity descends as you step outside from the kitchen, with the soundtrack of birds to accompany you. But it's a rear garden that can happily host a busy social gathering, from a small group of friends for lunch to a busy summer BBQ that extends well into the evening.

Both gardens are idyllic islands of greenery with the potential to become the garden of your dreams; a pretty cottage garden bursting with blooms or a practical space that earns its existence by producing vegetables and salad for the dinner plate - or both.
