The well stocked, gently sloping away from the house, with a second large unfenced garden pond overlooking country garden gives both privacy and views of the hills and Wye valley beyond Monmouth.

Accessibility: whilst the ground floor has all facilities On one level with only a small 3” step up to enclosed bathroom shower with non slip grip floor for elderly/ disabled, the access to the barn itself is via the back door west facing - stone terrace deck and 9” high wide deep stone steps to it. The main front door is in sunken terrace with stone steps down with handrail - making this unsuitable for those with mobility problems. (It is possible to enter the house on the flat from a parking area behind 5 bar gate to French doors but this is a longer walk across the large Stone south west facing terrace on a gravel path).
The sewage system is reedbed in adjacent property so only eco products, to be used, no harsh chemicals or the worms on which all depends will die. I have a cat and 5 chickens would appreciate pet care whilst you stay and offer same in return but I can make other care arrangements with close neighbours if you prefer or if you go away whilst holidaying here.
