Location
Monmouth is a beautiful and historic Welsh county town. Because of its location within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Monmouth has become a thriving tourism hub and its high street offers an assortment of independently-owned boutiques, renowned retailers, a variety of restaurants, welcoming pubs, bustling bars, leisure facilities, private and public schools, and various supermarkets - including Waitrose and a Marks & Spencer Foodhall.
The home at a glance
This terraced cottage is a short walk from Monmouth's town centre. The main entrance leads directly into the dining kitchen which sets an attractive scene. There is a flagstone floor, an inset log burner, a Rangemaster cooker plus wooden cabinets, worktops and a larder. There is space and plumbing for a compact dishwasher and room for a fridge-freezer.
Plenty of natural light pours into the dual-aspect expanse through a set of French doors which lead out to the rear garden, as well as a sash window and a second smaller window over the Belfast sink.
Beyond here, there is a welcoming sitting room which also includes a sash window, a smaller window and a glass-paned door that leads out to the rear garden. A cast iron feature fireplace, framed by a wooden mantle, serves as a striking focal point and a wooden floor, wooden windowsills and wooden shelving built into an alcove present a timelessly elegant colour palette.
In the far left-hand corner of the sitting room, two steps lead down into a utility room which has a terracotta tile floor, a Worcester combi-boiler, space and plumbing for a washer/dryer and a separate cloakroom.
The staircase exhibits exposed timbering and splits off into two wings but all rooms on this level of the property exhibit an elevated view over Drybridge House, a beautifully preserved 17th-century mansion.
The right-hand fork in the staircase leads into a capacious, light-streamed master bedroom which, much like the sitting room, has a cast iron fireplace, wooden floor and wooden windowsills, offering a handsome continuity.
The left-hand fork leads to the second bedroom which also has a sash window, wooden floor, wooden windowsills and a cast iron fireplace. Next door, there is a family bathroom which contains a freestanding bath with both a drench shower head and handheld shower attachment, plus a vanity unit, a WC with a vintage-style cistern and an industrial-style radiator. The bathroom also has a second door which links it with the master bedroom.
Outside, the low-maintenance rear garden offers a level lawn, paved seating area and a little shed to store gardening tools and equipment.
