4 Bedrooms Barn conversion for sale in Lydart, Monmouth NP25 | £ 975,000

Property Description

Set in over 5 acres with superb country views over Abergavenny and beyond to the Brecon Beacons, is this unique barn conversion with contemporary and sympathetic replica additions. Located just 5 miles from Monmouth, in Trelleck school catchment and circa 2 miles from the A40 providing access to the A449 (circa 20 minutes to the M4 junction 24) and M50. Many factors have been considered in the design of this circa 5-year-old conversion and build. The landscape in particular has been used to a great advantage not only achieving superb modern design but also an eco-friendly, energy efficient family home.

The South West facing location creates light and airy accommodation and proved invaluable for ensuring the build was as energy efficient and eco friendly as possible. The hot water and underfloor heating is provided by an air source heat pump, which is also income generating via a renewable energy incentive. Solar panels and solar thermal panels also provide electricity and hot water and again are income generating. The barn further benefits from mains electric and private drainage through a treatment plant.

Indeed, family is very much at the heart of this relaxed, casual and practical home as much as design. Divided into two halves and linked by a 21ft hall, the accommodation is exceptionally versatile, providing the option for multi-generational living, working from home and separate adult/child spaces. The original barn hosts the vast vaulted and beamed kitchen/dining/family room, the centre hub of family life, and a separate first floor sitting room. An entirely new section follows on from the long hall which is set into a bank providing the master suite and additional double bedroom and shower room. To the other side is a modern replica of the barn, constructed with the same external features as that of the original. This houses two double bedrooms, shower room, galley utility room and 2 receptions. All the Mandrian stone tiled flooring is underfloor heated and the internal handmade carpentry is all oak.

The main entrance can be found in the new barn however the linked hall has a further two main doors and therefore could also act as a main thoroughfare. An oak stepped turning staircase takes you from the main entrance to the first floor landing of the new barn. Accessed from here are two double bedrooms, one with built in furniture. Both have oak floors, radiator heating and exposed beams in the sloping ceilings. A three-piece contemporary shower room with Grohe rainfall shower, Velux window and under unit lighting services this floor.

From the main entrance hallway, a galley style utility room acts practically as a cloaks area, which could easily become a second kitchen for a self-contained annex. Both reception rooms in the modern barn have large arched windows with doors out onto the courtyard. The second reception leads into the 42ft gallery hall linking the old with the new. A superb design feature being inset into the landscape with porcelain tiled floor and floor to ceiling doors at either end. This porcelain floor continues into the contemporary new section where an inner hall leads to an underground circular library area with bespoke curved storage and bookshelves and feature domed recessed lit ceiling with changing light mode. From here a further underground hall leads to another contemporary fully porcelain, mosaic and slate tiled wet room with starlight led lit ceiling. Further double bedroom with porcelain tiled floor and door out to courtyard.

Upon walking into the master suite a large wet room shower can be found on the left, beyond a partition wall is the ensuite bathroom with superb minimalist freestanding bath and counter top sink inset into a bespoke unit. The main bedroom has full width built in wardrobes and full width glazed wall with door overlooking the courtyard.

Without a doubt it’s the conversion of the original barn that has instant impact being home to the exceptional space that is the kitchen, dining room and family room, all beneath the original impressive double height, beamed and vaulted ceiling. To the far end sits an esse two hot plate, wood burning range cooker creating the family casual sitting area. In the middle lies the family dining area with views out through the large double height windows to either side of the barn. The hand crafted and painted wooden kitchen surrounds a large oak central island incorporating an inset pop up De Dietrech extractor unit and Meile induction hob. Further built in appliances include an eye level built in Meile oven and microwave. A dresser style unit has been cleverly designed with a book case frontage behind which hides a larder cupboard.

From the kitchen, a door leads through to a pantry off which an oak stepped turning stairwell leads to the divided first floor level of the original barn. Arranged as separate, quiet seating area away from the open plan of below, a feature floor to ceiling wall allows you to look down over the barn through several recessed cubic viewing panes capturing elements of old meeting new.

The circa 5 acres gently slope down towards the barn and level garden area currently home to the neighbours sheep. The barn itself encloses a maintenance free courtyard with large slabs, slate chippings and decking, zoning the south west facing courtyard opening onto superb rural views across to Abergavenny.
