Detached house for sale in Penallt, Monmouth, Monmouthshire NP25

The Property
Located at the heart of the village, construction started on The Old Vicarage in 1888 to a design of great presence and purpose by prominent architect, F W Waller, who served as Architect for the Gloucester Diocese. Whilst traditionally Victorian in many ways, the entrance porch being unmistakable, there is a nod to the Arts and Crafts movement which indicates that The Old Vicarage aesthetic was not only beautifully constructed but also somewhat ahead of its time.

One could easily argue that The Old Vicarage is the ideal family home. Five double bedrooms, flexible reception space and a large, well-equipped kitchen/breakfast/day room accessing a substantial terrace with far reaching views across glorious Wye Valley countryside should be enough.

Add to this the wealth of period features, the vicar's old study, marble fireplaces, the recent addition of a detached double car port with store room and large office/gym above, well-tended gardens to explore and a short walk to the village pub and the case for that title grows ever stronger.

There is even the much envied service of ultrafast, full fibre broadband thanks to a 'Fibre Community Partnership' that arranged for the installation across the village, an ev charging point in the car port and a regular bus service for the four miles into Monmouth.

For the benefits of those outside the region, Penallt is regarded as a true gem of the Wye Valley. It is surrounded by stunning scenery and served by exceptional facilities for all ages. Pelham Hall, Penallt's sizeable Village Hall, has 3 floodlit tennis courts, a cricket club, bowls and table tennis clubs and serves as a hub for many village activities. There are 2 pubs, a burger restaurant at the 'Humble by Nature' farm, Michelin star dining at The Whitebrook and an annual beer festival. Babington Meadow in the middle of the village hosts open air theatre productions, art exhibitions and offers sport and timber playground facilities for all ages.
