Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Abergavenny, NP7 :

Govilon House is a fine example of an unspoilt 5 bedroom Grade II Listed house believed to date back to the 17th Century. The house is in need of updating and modernisation and offers a unique opportunity to restore an historic building to its former splendour.

. . .
This substantial property is located in the centre of the village of Govilon in the Brecon Beacons National Park and is believed to date back to Circa 1650. Although in previous years, part of the rear of the property has had replacement uPVC windows and central heating installed, the remainder of the property retains many of its original features including exposed beams and stone walls, shuttered sash windows, flagstone floors, a grand staircase, a cellar and four original fireplaces. The property could be used as a large family home or flexible accommodation with the opportunity to convert part of the house into a separate annexe with it's own entrance and courtyard garden (subject to the necessary planning consents). In brief the generous accommodation comprises: an impressive entrance hall with flagstone floor and magnificent wide staircase to the first floor.

. .
The dining room and two sitting rooms all have original fireplaces (two of which are open and the other with a log burning stove). From the second reception room are the stone stairs that lead down to the cellar which is currently used as a games room. The kitchen/breakfast room has an oil fired Aga and a second staircase that leads to the first floor rear of the house. A rear lobby leads to the cloakroom, further reception/store room and rear porch. From the lobby is a door to outside to the enclosed courtyard. To the first floor are four double bedrooms and a single bedroom and two bathrooms. From the landing is a further staircase that leads to the two large attic rooms which are in need of refurbishment. Outside the property there is a tarmacadam driveway which provides a turning and parking area for several vehicles. There is a large lawned area with numerous fruit trees and splendid views to the surrounding mountains and countryside beyond.

.
The outbuildings include an open fronted car port, a detached stone built two storey barn which provides useful storage or has potential to convert into an office/studio for someone wishing to work from home and additionally an old stable/garage that adjoins the rear of the house which, as mentioned before, could be altered and incorporated into the main house (subject to the necessary planning consents).
