Monmouth is a friendly and bustling market town, situated in the lower Wye Valley at a point where the famous Wye is joined by the Monnow. It contains many fine examples of Georgian period buildings, many of which have been tastefully refurbished and adapted to house a number of multiple retailers, who have been attracted in recent years to it' town centre. These augment a diverse range of well established family owned shops. However, it is probably best known for it's educational establishments, possessing both public and state school systems.

The property is one of a small group of listed cottages which fronts one of the oldest streets within the town and is within a few minutes walk of the towns' ancient Monnow Bridge and the lower section of Monnow Street. The main amenities including several Supermarkets (including a Waitrose), a selection of inns, a modern Primary School, Doctor's Surgery and a recently built Hospital, may all be easily reached within five minutes, while the more senior schools are within an additional five to ten minutes walk of the property, along a fairly level route.

The accommodation which is quite deceptive, has the benefit of part double glazing and gas heating. It affords the following: -

GROUND FLOOR
ENTRANCE PORCH with quarry tile floor with mat well, ample cloak hanging space and a glazed door leading through to: -

FRONT SITTING ROOM 16'9 x 13'4 overall, a most irregularly shaped yet attractive room, featuring a quarry tile floor and a natural stone fireplace fitted with a Valor coal effect gas fire, secondary glazed front window and built in louver doored storage cupboard containing the meters and a range of shelving. Range of wall lights, telephone point and doorway through to: -

DINING ROOM 13'3 x 11'1, again with a quarry tiled floor and with a Pine, open tread staircase leading off to the first floor. Spot light fittings, double glazed rear window overlooking courtyard and door through to: -

GALLEY STYLED KITCHEN 11'2 x 7'6 maximum, equipped with a relatively modern laminated range of units with wood trim and with a flecked rounded edge work surface, incorporating an inset stainless steel sink with base and drawer cabinet range beneath. At the far end of the extended work top, there is provision for an automatic washing machine with an end shelve unit. Opposite there is a matching double base cupboard and wall unit. Provision for either an electric or gas cooker with space adjacent for an upright fridge freezer. In addition there are several interesting niches to the wall possibly the remnants of an old bread oven. A uPVC double glazed window overlooks the rear courtyard. There is functional ceramic tiling above all work surfaces and a quarry tile finish to the floor. The wall mounted Main Medway gas heater provides on demand the hot water. Doorway through to the :-

REAR PORCH with a built in airing cupboard containing a number of slatted shelves.

SHOWER ROOM equipped with a modern champagne coloured sanitary range comprising low flush WC, shower basin set in a fully tiled recess, supplied by a Mira Sport electric shower whilst adjacent is a pedestal washbasin again with half tiled surround. In our opinion there is sufficient space to allow for the reinstatement of the bath. Baxi Brasilia 5000S wall mounted convector, inset lighting and uPVC double glazed window. Extraction fan.

FIRST FLOOR
SMALL LANDING with double glazed side window.

REAR BEDROOM 1, 11'7 x 10'5 with secondary glazed window overlooking rear garden. Wall mounted Baxi Brasilia convector heater and access to loft area over landing.

OUTSIDE
Although the garden is in need of some attention, there is immediately to the rear of the property, an enclosed and sheltered courtyard area ideal for containerised plants. A pathway flanked on both sides by garden and leads to a Summer House 11'6 x 5'3 with several ranges of adjustable shelving and an electrical supply.
