The Old Convent: a very special two-bedroom apartment in a beautiful Edwardian conversion set in the protected conservation quarter, one of Abergavenny’s most historic and sought-after locations, this exceptional two-bedroom apartment forms part of a lovingly restored Edwardian building. Formerly St Michael’s Convent (from the 1970s) and, before that, a school dating back to the 1940s, the property is steeped in local heritage and character.
The building has been sensitively and skilfully transformed by a family team into just four high-spec apartments—each crafted with care, and with modern living and sustainability in mind.
Sustainable Design, Minimal Costs
This home is part of an innovative eco-retrofit, incorporating six integrated features that significantly reduce energy consumption. Estimated monthly energy bills are estimated to be as low as £55, saving £2,000–£3,000 per year compared with typical period conversions.
Thanks to the high build quality, other ongoing costs are impressively low. The four apartment owners will share the freehold and can directly manage spending, eliminating the need for a management company. Monthly contributions for insurance, maintenance, and repairs are estimated to be just £26 - much lower than local average service charges.
The fully fitted kitchen, bathroom, windows, hot water and heating systems are all covered by ten-year guarantees, offering peace of mind for years to come.
Light-Filled Living With Inspiring Views
Apartment A is beautifully bright, with large windows facing south, west, and north, filling the space with natural light throughout the day. The open-plan living and kitchen area leads onto a generous, full-length private balcony, offering views over the gardens and out towards the iconic Sugar Loaf mountain.
A private garage is also available by separate negotiation, which is not currently allocated to any of the four apartments
Ideal for… young professionals, downsizers, and anyone who wants to be near Abergavenny’s independent shops, cafés, and restaurants, and also the Black Mountains for escaping to nature
