Life on the farm

Five bedrooms, stunning views, 100 acres and a lovely cottage too

EVER fancied living in a farmhouse with period features and stunning views?

Or perhaps you’ve always dreamed of owning your own charming cottage.

Well now you can do both. For a Georgianstyle house is on the market in Monmouthshire for £2.5m – and you also get a three-bedroom cottage.

Set in 100 acres of rolling countryside, Gaer Hill Farm is a spacious five-bedroom property in St Arvans, near Chepstow, with stunning views. It has many period features like high ceilings and elegant fireplaces but it has all the comforts of modern living.

On the ground floor there are a number of reception rooms but it’s the drawing room which is particularly impressive and has a large marble surrounded fireplace with Jetmaster fire box. The garden room is designed to make the most of the outlook and afternoon sun, with sliding doors to the terrace and gardens.

The kitchen has white cupboards with polished granite work surfaces and the centrepiece is the Aga. Leading from the kitchen is a breakfast/sitting area so it’s a versatile family space.

A large and comfortable study is situated to the rear of the house with wood burner and access to the back kitchen and utility area.

The stairs lead up to a large and light galleried landing providing access to the five bedrooms, all of which have incredible views.

The master bedroom includes a large dressing room and en-suite shower room, there are three further double bedrooms, two of which are en-suite and one single bedroom.

From the house a terrace leads to steps to the large parking area with wide lawns beyond, rockery, pond, herbaceous beds and an array of specimen trees and shrubs.

Gaer Hill Farm also has a spacious three-bedroom cottage located behind the traditional buildings which has recently been refurbished to a high standard. It has a kitchen breakfast room, generous utility room, sitting room, dining room and downstairs toilet.

On the first floor the cottage has three bedrooms and family bathroom. The property is on the market with Knight Frank for £2.5m. Visit KnightFrank.com
