Located in the heart of the popular village of Ewyas Harold, close to the English/Welsh border. Monks Retreat is a beautiful home, imaginatively converted from two stone barns incorporating much character and interesting features.
A front door leads into the kitchen and breakfast room, fitted with a comprehensive range of shaker style base and wall cupboards complemented by wooden worksurfaces and central island providing ample workspace. Exposed stone walls and beams sets the rustic tone for the whole property. Step up into the spacious sitting room, with large windows and patio doors allowing the natural light to flow through. The main feature of this room is the impressive part vaulted ceiling with its exposed roof trusses and ceiling beams. A part exposed stone wall and log burning stove add further character to the room. Leading off from the sitting room is a cosy dining room with a door through to the integral garage and additional reception space which would be ideal as a home office. The ground floor accommodation is completed with a useful utility room which also incorporates the downstairs W.C.
Stairs rise from the sitting room to the gallery landing, where there are four spacious bedrooms, all with vaulted ceilings. There are two separate contemporary shower rooms and built in storage in the second bedroom and useful airing cupboard located on the landing.
Flanked by a flagstone paved area, to the front of the property is a canopy porch over the main front door and two solid wooden doors for the integral garage and electric car charging point. The integral garage itself can also be accessed internally from the dining room. There is a stone paved path that leads around to the south-easterly aspect of the property leading to the utility room. To the rear is low maintenance courtyard garden accessed from the sitting room.
