An extended substantial family home offering over 3600 sqft of accommodation in a plot of circa 0.75 acre, in this sought after village situated between Usk & Abergavenny.

The property occupies a prominent, private corner plot opposite the renowned Black Bear Inn, consisting of lawned gardens and private courtyards beyond a gated driveway leading to a parking area and double garage.

Bettws Newydd which is approximately 4 miles from the picturesque town of Usk and 8 miles from the larger, historic town of Abergavenny. The location is within a short distance of excellent road and rail links. A mainline railways station can be found in Abergavenny and just outside of the town is access to the A465 (for Hereford, Merthyr and Brecon) which links (via the A40 and A449) to the M4, M5 and M50 motorways for Cardiff, Bristol, London and the Midlands.

A gated drive leads to extensive parking, double garage and the pitched covered entrance.

The large entrance hall features an engineered wooden floor, stairs to the first floor and an archway with further steps up to a continuation of the hall. A large downstairs cloakroom with w/c and pedestal sink is large enough to create a shower room.

Dual aspect with sliding doors to the courtyard, the lounge has a continuation of the engineered wooden floor and a log burner set in a half height stone wall.

A study overlooks the gardens.

An inner hall leads to the front facing well-proportioned dining room with engineered wooden floor.

Behind the dining room is the kitchen with a door to the rear area of garden. Fully fitted with a range of wall and base units with worksurface extending to a peninsular breakfast bar. A dual stainless-steel sink sits beneath the window. A hob and eye level Bosch double oven are built in, whilst there is space for an under-counter fridge and dishwasher.

The second part of the entrance hall leads into a vast two storey extension giving access to a 21 x 20 ft family room and sitting room. On the ground floor.

The sitting room has sliding doors onto the courtyard, there is a fireplace with chimney flue but currently houses an electric log burner.

The superbly sized family room features a wall of patio doors and panes overlooking the courtyard.

A utility room is accessed from the family room with plumbed sink and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The circa 3-4 year old oil boiler for the modern extension is housed here. An external boiler room houses the oil boiler for the original house which was also replaced circa 3-4 years ago.

Upstairs a split-level landing leads to 6 bedrooms, 3 ensuite and a family bathroom.

When it comes to selling houses, M2 is a new South Wales estate agent that's setting out to stay a step ahead. A step ahead of the competition - and a step ahead of its customers' needs and expectations. Specialising solely in residential sales, M2 may be a fresh new brand, but its sales staff have extensive local knowledge and many years' experience. M2's owner, Mark Roberts, who set up Roberts Estate Agents in Newport 15 years ago, now aims to establish the company's former branches in Usk and Abergavenny at the core of a completely new and separate enterprise. "Estate agency is a people business, so I am delighted that the wonderful staff from both premises will be helping me to develop my new brand," he said. "Sales know-how and familiarity with the local area are really important - so are a friendly face, an understanding approach and excellent customer service. At M2, our staff are welcoming, professional and skilled in helping buyers and sellers achieve their goals." M2, launched on Thursday August 23, specialises in residential sales across the market, promoting higher end properties (£500,000 plus) under the Town and Country banner. The offer is simple and straightforward - sales fees are competitive and there are no upfront charges and no add-ons. "Our priority is finding people their perfect home," says M2's Nicola Foxton, who has spent 19 years in estate agency and is manager of the Usk branch, joining four years ago, just two years after it was set up. Among other "familiar faces" is Jo Francis, branch manager at Abergavenny who has 26 years' estate agency experience and opened the Abergavenny branch nine years ago. Shortly afterwards she just happened to sell a property to the parents of her one-day-to-be assistant branch manager, Alex Buchanan! Jo has also successfully developed the branch to the point where she can claim: "To date, this year this branch has sold by far the most houses we ever have." Both Jo and Nicola put much of their success down to their sales progression skills. "I take responsibility for the whole process," says Nicola. "I am with my customers every step of the way to make sure the sale goes through." Both branches have also benefitted from an increase in demand from Bristol buyers prompted to look this side of the Severn Bridge. Usk is only nine miles from junction 24 on the M4, making the city easily accessible by car whilst Jo says commuters are tempted to buy in Abergavenny because of the train station. "The removal of the Severn Bridge tolls at the end of this year has acted as a catalyst," says Mark. "But once they start looking here, buyers realise they can get so much more for their money and a completely different lifestyle. They can get a three-bed semi for £200,000 here when in Bristol they would be paying £400,000." Whilst Mark's future plans for M2 include development of online property sales across a wider region, he and his staff recognise that in towns like Usk and Abergavenny customers appreciate a face-to-face approach - and an agent they can visit at weekends. Both branches stay open to facilitate this - Abergavenny opens 7 days a week (on Sunday from 11am to 3pm) and in Usk, whilst the branch shuts for the weekend at 1pm on Saturday, viewings continue into the afternoon. Staff always accompany viewings and make a point of having seen a property and met the owner first.
