The property provides the following: Porch, Entrance Hall, Cloakroom, Lounge, 2nd Lounge, Study/Bedroom 6, Spacious Kitchen/Diner, Side Porch/Utility, Palatial Landing, 2 Bathrooms, 5 further Bedrooms and a Two Car Garage/WorkshopGas central heating. uPVC double glazing.Professionally Landscaped Garden.

Monmouth is a quaint yet friendly market town and is one of  Britainn++s ancient Shire towns, situated on the Wye Green Valley bottom between the famous Wye and the equally well known Monnow.  The town incorporates many interesting period buildings, dating from its Castle, 1067, its unique thirteenth Century fortified Gateway Bridge, the Great Castle House (circa 1673) while at the centre of the town stands the Shire Hall, which was originally constructed in 1724, being  used by the Assizes.

Today Monmouth is a thriving business/retail centre and which during the latter part of the twentieth century has attracted quite a diverse range of light industry. Its town centre incorporates many of the leading multiples including a Marks & Spencer Food Hall, Waitrose, Boots, WH Smiths, Iceland numerous nationwide coffee shops, all of which are augmented by many privately run retailers.  However, it is possibly the superb public education system which draws many people to Monmouth, having both public and state school systems. With the A40 passing its periphery, Monmouth is to many, a natural home base, being within easy commuting to numerous areas including Bristol, Cardiff, Gloucester, Hereford and Worcester.

The residence which is within walking distance of both junior and senior schools is within 15 minutes of many of the Townn++s amenities. It has been our Clientsn++ home for about 16 years, during which time a number of substantial improvements have been carried out. The first to be undertaken was the levelling of some of the garden, while about 10 years ago several of the floors were tiled or had n++engineered Oakn++ boards laid (by local specialists ATC). The house has been extended over many years, the most recent extension incorporating the Bathroom and Landing. We further understand that the electrical circuits have been overhauled, the Gas boiler was replaced in  2010, all external doors and windows with the exception of Porch/Hall door have also been replaced. To aid energy efficiency, additional insulation has been installed within the Loft void.

This roomy home will appeal to a large multi-generation family and could in our opinion with minor modification, be divided to provide an Annex for a Grand parent or Teenager. It affords:-
