On the market after years of serving the vendors as a much loved family home, Upper Glyn Farm is a glorious, period barn conversion offering 6 double bedrooms, flexible reception space, grounds covering approximately 5 acres and a wonderful sense of seclusion, despite sitting at the edge of the fabulous village of Penallt, one of the jewels of the Wye Valley.

This gem is full of cottage character and charm. The sitting room boasts a wood burner set in an antique, cider press drip stone salvaged from the farm and mini minstrel’s gallery on the landing, whilst the more contemporary conservatory extension to the kitchen/dining room ensure the gardens and rural views are always enjoyed, whatever the weather.

This wonderful period home also has the huge advantage of a potential additional income source with the existence of its detached cottage offering significant two bedroom guest accommodation.

Upper Glyn Farm is not listed, offering greater flexibility to add to the existing 3,700 square feet (subject to necessary consents), compared with its listed counterparts should you deem it preferable or necessary in the future.

The existing store appears to have a lintel where a door previously existed to the sitting room and this could be refurbished to create either a study, taking advantage of the superfast broadband, or playroom, with direct access to the terrace.

The outbuilding, as shown on the plans, has previously been used as stables, but clearly offers a further opportunity to create additional ancillary accommodation for the main residence or to extend the detached cottage further.

The proximity of the two buildings suggests there is scope to link the two buildings together, whilst adding further capital value and increasing functionality as a large family home, all subject to the necessary consents.

Outside
Upper Glyn is wrapped in approximately 5 acres of land, which extends across the lane and enjoys truly glorious rural views into what feels like its own private valley.

With a number of paddocks already divided by hedging and stone walls and three separate gate access points, the grounds clearly lend themselves to a number of smallholding, agricultural, equestrian and commercial possibilities (subject to necessary consents).

Sitting a stone’s throw from historic Monmouth with all it has to offer and a 10 minute walk from the popular village pub, this fabulous home offers the best of both worlds, with its feeling of seclusion and privacy whilst being served by so much within touching distance.
