5 Bed Detached House For Sale Llanvaches, Caldicot, NP26

This beautiful property originally known as \"Greenacre Cottage,\" has changed hands several times over the years. In the mid-nineties a local businessman acquired it through auction. Opting for modernisation, he demolished the original structure and erected a larger, contemporary home for himself and his family. This new abode boasted a purpose-built basement, which still remains in situ today, and provides a superb flexible space with multi-functional usage. While the cottage was replaced with a modern structure, the old stone barn, showing signs of decay, was restored using materials salvaged from the original dwelling.

Furthermore, remnants of the demolished cottage were repurposed to construct a retaining wall encircling the new residence. The property exchanged hands again in 2005, finding new occupants in a young family who resided there until 2018. Since this date the current vendors have lovingly restored, renovated and reconfigured Greenacre House transforming it into a magnificent property suited for both family life and entertaining.
