Description - A much-loved family home in a popular and peaceful village, 2 Castle Rise, Llanvaches, has lovely private, established gardens, more than 2,700 sq ft of accommodation, a large conservatory, home office space and a separate, brick-built summer house.

The current owners were attracted to the detached property by its semi-rural location, in a family-friendly community, yet with an easy commute to Bristol. That they chose wisely is clear from the fact that it is only now, after 31 years, that they are looking to move. It's been a great home in which to bring up a family, in a lovely neighbourhood with good schools.

Step inside:-

Part of this property's appeal is its spaciousness, evident from the moment you walk into the hallway, where glazed double doors straight ahead open into a large living/dining room. There's an office and a cloakroom off to one side, a modern kitchen/breakfast room on the other, leading through to a utility room with a door into the double garage. A particularly practical and attractive feature is the wooden flooring throughout the entrance hall and living/dining room.

From the entrance hall, stairs lead up to the master bedroom and ensuite, two further bedrooms, a family bathroom and a study. From the study a door opens to a fourth bedroom, which measures an impressive 22'10 x 17'6. As the children got older, we were able to extend and we had a large room built over the garage. The room is now used as a bedroom, but the children had it as a playroom and later as a teenage den. It's where my son was able to play the drums out of earshot!

Another inspired addition to the accommodation was a large L-shaped conservatory, reached through bi-fold doors from both the kitchen and the living/dining area. In the summer, we eat all our meals out there and spend a lot of time sitting out there. It's like another living area but you feel like you are in the garden.

Explore the area:-

Llanvaches is a popular village with an active community life centred on the church hall. There's a children's play park, football pitch and a choice of country pubs within a short drive. The nearest shop/Post Office is in the nearby village of Caerwent, around two miles away. Llanvaches is nestled beneath Wentwood Forest, an area of ancient woodland which can be explored on foot, bicycle or horseback. The village lies just north of the A48 road, giving easy access to the facilities in Caldicot (approximately 6 miles), to the market town of Chepstow (approximately 8 miles), renowned for its ancient castle in its commanding position above the beautiful River Wye, and to the city of Newport, some 9 miles distant. There are also excellent road links to the M4, for commuting to Bristol or Cardiff.

Outside - OUTSIDE

The property is in a quiet cul-de-sac on the very edge of the village. It is approached over its own driveway, where there is ample offroad parking. It stands in a generous plot, with large, level, wrap-around gardens. One of the big benefits of the location is that we are not overlooked by other houses. There's a children's playing field to the back and to the right you look over fields with sheep in them to the rolling hills beyond. From the front and back, there are also views of Wentwood Forest.

The wonderful, well-tended gardens feature expanses of lawn, established borders, shrubs and trees. A patio area with a pergola provides a lovely place for barbeques and outdoor entertaining and the patio extends in front of a detached, brick-built summer house with two sets of doors. Built by a previous owner as a writer's retreat, the summer house is now used for a hot tub.
