Description

Available on the open market for the first time since the 1940s, Walnut Tree Cottage enjoys a superlative location in the rural village of Mamhilad, approximately 8 miles from the thriving town of Abergavenny. Set within the Brecon Beacons National Park and in the heart of the Monmouthshire countryside, the property commands far-reaching views over the surrounding landscape. In need of modernisation, the cottage offers well-proportioned accommodation with considerable scope for improvement. The ground floor comprises four reception rooms, a kitchen, shower room and store. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Walnut Tree Cottage occupies a splendid plot extending to approximately 1.53 acres. There are two large outbuildings and gated access which could be utilised to create a driveway.
To the front of the property there is a large garden. To the rear of the house, the garden is laid to lawn with mature shrubs and a variety of trees, including a mature apple and pear orchard. Beyond this lies the remainder of the land, which would be considered ideal for a variety of uses, including the keeping of horses, sheep or other livestock, or further landscaping.
