A charming detached period home located in an exquisite rural position within the sought after village of Cwmyoy. The village is located in the picturesque, Llanthony Valley, 8 miles from the thriving market town of Abergavenny and 17 miles from the cultural and literary hub of Hay on Wye. Perched on the hillside behind St. Martin’s Church, in the lee of Hatterall Ridge, School House, as the name suggests, is a converted school retaining a wealth of character and period features and offering exceptionally generous proportions throughout. The ground floor accommodation comprises a central entrance hall that leads on one side to the superb 27’ kitchen/family room fitted with modern units and an electric aga. This room also benefits from a wood burning stove, double aspect including French doors out to the front and an attached garden room providing an ideal spot to enjoy the breathtaking views across the valley. In addition, there are two further reception rooms, including one with a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden, that has been used as a fourth bedroom, a large utility room and downstairs WC. On the first floor the principal bedroom replicates the 27’ proportion of the living space below with the additional benefit of vaulted ceiling and exposed A-frame timbers with a door out with steps down to the rear garden. There are two further double bedrooms, either side of the bright and airy landing, as well as a family bathroom and separate shower room. While retaining exceptional period character throughout, the property also benefits from recent efficiency improvements in the form of extensive roof and wall insulation and the addition of an air source heat pump. School House is approached via a winding country lane leading to a forecourt area which has been landscaped to provide parking for two cars. To the front of the property there is a superb garden which enjoys the most breathtaking 180 degree views across the Llanthony Valley. Accessed directly from the house is a large terrace laid with flagstones and providing a wonderful space for outside entertaining or just soaking in the spectacular vista. From the terrace, steps lead down to a large section of lawn below which wraps around to the side of the house where there is a pond. Below the main garden is a further, more productive area, where previously there has been a vegetable garden, and there is also a small orchard of fruit trees. To the rear of the house there is a mature garden with a wealth of shrubs and trees, comprising a lower lawn and a number of terraces accessed via stone steps. Directly behind the house is a very useful detached stone built outbuilding with power, which is divided into three units utilised as garden stores. School House is a superb home of exceptional character and charm, both inside and out, which enjoys a rarely available and enviable location. Offered with no onward chain.
