Property description

A charming fully modernised detached four bedroom former period farm house, set within a large well established and private garden, with wonderful far reaching views, and the added feature of a 4.5 acre adjacent paddock. This unique home enjoys truly stunning views in each direction, across rolling fields and hill side, yet still within easy driving distance of Machen, with its many local amenities, as well as good access to both Newport and Cardiff. The property has been extensively renovated by the present owners for their own occupation, including total new wiring and plumbing, a new oil fired heating system with panel radiators, new hardwood effect PVC double glazed windows, an intruder alarm, and new re plastered walls and ceilings, Considerable character has been both added and retained including flagstone floors, beamed ceilings, hardwood panelled doors, floors and a spindle balustrade staircase, whilst externally the property has been finished with smooth render with pretty brick window dressings, all beneath a new Spanish slate roof. Adjacent to the property are new detached stables which are available to rent if required. This impressive home includes a gable porch, an entrance hall, a study area, a sitting room with a natural stone fire place and a wide window seat, and a separate lounge with cast iron period fireplace and french doors which open onto a private sun terrace. The hub of the house is a generous open plan kitchen and breakfast room, 22\'5 x 12\'0, equipped with integrated appliances as well as a large solid fuel Rayburn range cooker. On the ground floor there is also an outer hall with access to a boiler room, a modern shower room with shower cubicle and wc, plus direct access onto a second private sun terrace. The first and second floors comprise four double size bedrooms and a modern period family bathroom with white suite, including a cast iron roll top bath and a wc with a high over head cistern. The surrounding gardens have been carefully landscaped with mature lawns and wide patios, designed to command privacy. For the equestrian buyers a 4.5 acre adjacent paddock allows room for the construction of a stable block if required, whist an existing stable block with four loose boxes and a hay barn are available to rent. The property benefits a new drainage system (septic tank), mains electricity and main water ( all underground cables and services), a wide private off street entrance drive with large double gates and an imposing stone name plate, and the private entrance lane (owned by the neighbour next door) is due to be re surfaced at no added cost to the new owners of Pentre Porth Farm, with a full legal right of way provided. As a further advantage, the current owners have obtained full planning for the construction of a first floor extension above the kitchen and shower room, as well as the construction of an Orangery to be approached from the french doors within the Lounge. This Orangery would be of cavity construction, with an apex slate pitched rood with velux roof lights.
