Agents Introduction
The Orchard is a lovely country bungalow enjoying a pleasant setting adjoining open farmland, well screened by mature trees and with views of the surrounding hillsides. The large informal garden area offers ample scope for cultivation and recreation and is complemented by a substantial two bay steel framed general purpose building for use as a workshop or garage or for general storage purposes. The property is considered to be ideal for active country lovers looking to downsize.
Situation and Local Amenities
The Orchard is situated near to Offas Dyke pathway said to mark the historic border between Wales and England from where it enjoys excellent car and bus access to Abergavenny 5 miles to the south and to the cathedral city of Hereford 18 miles to the north. Local amenities in the village include a primary school within walking distance, a petrol station, convenience store and a local church and hall. The area is also served by public houses including the Old Pandy Inn and the historical and locally renowned Skirrid Inn which is believed to be one of the oldest public houses in Wales, thought to date back over 900 years. Nearby are the Black Mountains and stunning Llanthony Valley that are popular for many outdoor recreational pursuits. For more comprehensive shopping and leisure facilities, Abergavenny has a wide selection of boutique style shops, grocery and newsagent stores, supermarkets and many well-known high street shops. Abergavenny also hosts a market several times a week and a highly regarded world famous annual Food Festival. The town has its own cinema and leisure centre as well as a number of restaurants for evening entertainment. The area is well served by schools for all ages.
