8 bedroom detached house
St Marys Hill, Llanvair Kilgeddin, Monmouthshire
£1,500,000
Chewton Rose, South Wales
029 2243 0205
This Georgian country home certainly will not leave you feeling claustrophobic as it is set on a rather breathtaking 20 acres of land. This is the sort of property that would be perfect for someone who enjoys equestrian living, especially as there are 11 purpose built wooden stables with hay storage and a large tack room that leads into the larger barn. The interior of the house has the same traditional Georgian look too throughout almost every room, it would feel as though you have stepped back in time every time you go through the gate.
7 bedroom detached house
Trinant Hall Lane, Llanhilleth, Abertillery
£1,225,000
The Express Estate Agency, Nationwide
0161 468 3825
Modern meets rustic definitely feels like the style for this stately home. It may look like just your ordinary house when compared to the others, but where it stands out are with its interior and facilities. With a state-of-the-art kitchen, seven bedrooms, a full-size sauna and an indoor swimming pool (the fact that it’s indoor being important because no matter how big your house is, the weather will always be an issue).
5 bedroom detached house
Chepstow, Monmouthshire
£1,180,000
Fine & Country, Chepstow
01291 629799
If you are looking to buy the house rather than the land, then this one is for you. You are able to sit in the comfort of your own home, looking out of the windows and seeing a panoramic view of the Usk Vale and Welsh mountains. Not only that, but in the evenings you can relax in the superbly equipped home cinema, or perhaps on the weekends go for a ride on your horse that is stabled outside. It’s whatever you fancy, really.
6 bedroom character property
Llanbadoc, Usk
£3,250,000
pa black, Monmouth
01600 522004
This Victorian house and grounds certainly has a lot to show for itself. Firtsly, the long tree lined driveway that really shows the class of the property. Also the outdoor swimming pool and pool house to make the absolute most out of the summer. You will have access to your own coach house, stable block and even your own private lake, which helps to complete the feel of the property.
6 bedroom detached house
Kemeys Folly, Langstone
£1,795,000
Chewton rose, South Wales
029 2243 0205
pa black, Monmouth
01600 522004
CJ Hole, Newport
01633 966124
This house is the perfect combination between old and new, as it looks like a castle turret that has had upgrades. Whilst the blend of cutting edge modernism and the more traditional look might seem strange at first, once you get a proper look you can see just how well they compliment each other. Not only that, but this particular property has made something of a name for itself on Channel 4’s Grand Designs, so you might even end up on TV.
5 bedroom detached house
Monmouth, Monmouthshire
£1,600,000
Chewton Rose, South Wales
029 2243 0205
You certainly won’t be short of things to do in this property. The house itself is a five bedroom classic experience with plenty of space. Talking about space, you get six acres. This includes an outdoor swimming pool and tennis court and also an entertainment barn where you can perhaps throw your own parties or maybe even host events. The barn has it’s own kitchen too so you’ll never have to rent one out for an event again.
9 bedroom detached house
Woodcroft, Near Chepstow
£1,500,000
Savills, Clifton
0117 407 2178
The first thing that stands out with this property is the eye-catching turquoise finish on the exterior wood work. The second thing is that it is the first on the list to feature a wine cellar which, if you are truly enjoying a life of luxury, is almost certainly paramount to it. It also has nine bedrooms, a beautiful conservatory and wonderfully landscaped gardens that you can gaze over from the balcony.
Farm House
Mamhilad, Pontypool, Monmouthshire, NP4
£1,250,000
Knight Frank, Hereford
01432 486014
Now if you prefer a bit of hands on renovation work, but still want plenty of land, a giant 124 acres to be exact, then you needn’t look any further. This property is in desperate need of some skilled renovation and when finished it could definitely be on par with every other house on this list, and possibly be worth more than all of them.
6 bedroom farmhouse
Llanvetherine, Abergavenny
£1,700,000
Knight Frank, Hereford
01432 486014
This farmhouse has the perfect combination of a classic country house surrounded by its own farm with a collection of stone barns and all set in 141 acres of beautiful Monmouthshire countryside. Ideal for someone who loves horses, this solid stone house was extended in the 19th century and most of the rooms enjoy stunning views to the south and the east.
