About the Property
Moon & Co. are delighted to offer to the market, a property which comprises an attractive principally stone built farmhouse, originally forming part of the impressive Curre Estate and located in the same area as Itton Court, the seat of the Curre family.
The current vendors purchased the property approximately 43 years ago and have over the years carried out extensive and thorough improvements but at the same time retaining much of the character and charm. The house therefore offers both the attractions of modern amenities along with period features. The position of the house is ideal, it stands in 3 acres of its own grounds on the periphery of the sought-after villages of Shirenewton and Mynyddbach. It is within easy walking distance of the well regarded village school and all local village amenities.
The beautiful Monmouthshire countryside can be accessed directly on foot from the property via an extensive network of footpaths and lanes. The historic town of Chepstow is a picturesque 5-10 minute drive away. Chepstow has excellent transport links via the M48, a mainline railway station and connection to the National Express network.
Adjoining the property is a 5 acre field which may be purchased with the property for an additional £60,000 if you require.
