Full Details for 7 Bedroom Detached for sale in Abergavenny, NP7 :
A traditional stone Grade II Listed farmhouse dating from the mid 17th Century with many period features and much character. The farmhouse has 7 bedrooms and 3 reception rooms. Agricultural barn and additional separate cottage currently used for holiday lettings, all set in 35 acres.
Description Continued
It is thought that a medieval timber-framed house may have existed on the site with some of the original timbers re-used to build the agricultural barn. The farmhouse was the birthplace of explorer and navigator Captain Thomas James (1593-1635), a Welsh sea captain who set out to discover the Northwest Passage around the top of North America to Asia. This spacious farmhouse has been extended in more recent years and offers versatile accommodation over four floors with the added benefit of a separate cottage presently used for holiday lettings. The farmhouse, cottage and agricultural barn are set in gardens and grounds of circa 35 acres with pasture land forming the majority of the acreage. Wern y Cwm farm is nestled at the foot of the Skirrid Mountain (also known as the Holy Mountain) with walks and bridleways through the beautiful countryside on the doorstep.
