Set in the heart of the Wye Valley, officially designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Monmouth is one of Britain's ancient Shire towns that can trace its history back to Roman times. The town is guarded by a unique 13th century fortified gateway bridge, which sits astride the river Monnow near the centre of the town, whilst its streets retain a plan which is thought to date back to medieval times.

Whilst retaining a strong agricultural legacy, Monmouth today is also a thriving business centre, which during the latter part of the twentieth century, attracted a quite diverse range of light industry. Its town centre has also attracted many of the leading multiples including Dorothy Perkins, Edinburgh Woollen Mill, Fat Face, Boots, W H Smith and Pizza Express. In more recent years Waitrose have opened a supermarket here which has been joined by a new Marks & Spencer food hall, a Lidl and an Iceland store together with numerous nationwide Coffee shops. With the A40 trunk road passing its periphery and providing immediate links to the national motorway network, Monmouth also commands rapid access to most major cities and airports of South Wales, the Midlands, the South East and South West of England. It is therefore not only the superb road connections which make the town such a natural base, but also a combination of an unspoilt environment, coupled with the market town atmosphere and a superb public education system of which Monmouth is justifiably proud.

Osbaston is the most northerly of the town's three suburbs, lying about mile from the centre and conveniently positioned just off the Monmouth/Hereford Road, within a ten minute walk of the Haberdashers School for Girls, with both of the Infant and Junior Schools (on Osbaston Road) being much nearer. There is a local "Hopper" Bus service.

The residence is one of a select group of properties, fronting a peaceful cul-de-sac with a most attractive south westerly view which engulfs the Monnow Valley and part of the town, against the backcloth of the wooded Lydart ridge. From the property on a clear day, one can also see the summit of the "Sugar Loaf" (near Abergavenny, about 19 miles distance) and several of the peaks of the Black Mountains.

We believe the property, which was one of the last to be built in the road, dates back to the early 1980's and has been our Client's home since August 1987. As these properties were individually constructed, no two homes are identical and this property incorporates several of the Vendor's improvements which includes provision of a sizable Private Office/Study close to the Kitchen, part of which could be utilised as an en-suite to an adjoining bedroom, if so desired. Our Client has also converted part of the double Garage into a Large Utility Room.

The accommodation is in our opinion decorated in neutral shades and provides:-

GARDEN The property is situated in a garden which has been skilfully terraced by our Client. The front section has been simply laid out with a lawned area to the right of the drive which provides a tarmacadamed parking section for a further vehicle to its left.

A short flight of steps leads up past the side of the Garage, to the upper level where there is a paved and screened sitting out patio area and which conveniently adjoining the Kitchen door.
From this point a pathway leads around to the rear of the property (there being a pathway across the full width of the house), with a flight of steps flanked by shrubberies to both sides leading up to a further lawned section. Situated virtually at the highest point of the garden is a further, paved sitting out/play area from which there is a stunning vista extending over the ridge top of adjacent homes to the distant mountains near Abergavenny.
