Full of character and charm, The Smithy as the name suggests was a former Blacksmiths with adjoining cottage. In need of updating, the property has exposed stone walls, wooden beams and offers flexible accommodation set over three floors. We have been informed the ceilings have been recently insulated and skimmed, ready for a new owner to decorate. On the ground floor are two reception rooms and kitchen which is vaulted to the ceiling and has an external door to the garden. The dining room has a wood burning stove and stairs off. On the first floor are two bedrooms and a shower room. Both bedrooms are open to the roof space and have exposed roof timbers and painted stone walls. On the lower ground, stone steps from the dining room lead to a hall which has two useful storage cupboards and leads to a bathroom which has a roll top bath and separate shower. There is also a wonderful oak framed garden room which looks out on the rear garden and a large living room which is open to the ceiling and enjoys exposed stone walls, a solid fuel stove and mezzanine floor over. The gardens and grounds are a real feature of the property. At the front is a parking area and steps up to the front door. The generous gardens are established with lawns, shrub borders and some specimen trees. The lower garden has a generous patio off the garden room, borders the brook and has a range of outbuildings at the bottom. The upper garden is well established, with a small seating area off the kitchen, stone shed and side access to the front. Surrounded by rolling countryside, the property is located on the bank of the White Castle Brook and the edge of the rural village of Llantilio Crossenny. Popular nearby attractions include White Castle; a 12th Century Norman castle, the Rolls of Monmouth Golf Course, White Castle Vineyard and some fabulous restaurants, including The Walnut Tree and The Bell at Skenfrith. The area is popular with walkers with the Offa’s Dyke passing close by and the Three Castles Walk, which passes through the villages of Skenfrith and Grosmont. The well-regarded Cross Ash primary school is less than 3 miles away. The historic market towns of Abergavenny and Monmouth are both less than ten miles away and have a range of independent shops, supermarkets, theatres, cinemas and restaurants.
