A lovely Arts and Crafts cottage built circa 1910.  The property holds all the charm of a cottage whilst the rooms are large and bright, as was the fashion in the Edwardian era. This sense of space and light is accentuated by the elevated south-facing position, with coutryside views.  The entire property has been lovingly restored in the last few years, designed to highlight the original period features, whilst offering contemporary must-haves in the kitchen/diner, bathrooms and throughout the decoration. Although it is semi-detached, the houses were built ‘back-to-back’ meaning that they do not over-look each other, offering the full privacy of a detached village property.

The Village Hall, 30 seconds from the property, offers weekly exercise and arts classes, soft-play and a children's play-ground, as well as regular gatherings; including pub nights, Saturday brunch, Panto and the village Christmas dinner. There is also a wonderful friendly pub, the Carpenter’s Arms, for either a drink and a chat or some delicious home-cooked food. Being just off the main road, the transport links are fantastic for this rural area. Buses to Chepstow and Monmouth stop in the village. Cardiff and Bristol are within easy commuting distance of approximately 50 minutes. For local amenities, Raglan, Usk, Monmouth and Chepstow are all within a 20 minute drive.  The schooling at all of these is considered very good and school bus services are available from the village.
