Description
Number One Agent Katie Darlow is proud to offer this exceptional opportunity to acquire one of South Wales' most iconic properties.
Exceptional living
Featured on Channel 4's Grand Designs, Kemeys Folly was originally built for the Sheriff of Monmouth in the 1700s as a hunting lodge. Now a beautifully restored Grade II listed building, it has been enhanced with outstandingly designed glazed extensions, all offering spectacular views over the Usk Valley.
Enjoying a commanding hill-top setting, this recently renovated wonderful home offers a 43ft open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, and an exceptional master suite with an expansive balcony and terrace. There are six bedrooms in all (five of them en-suite) ¬– two further in the original building and three in the single-storey glazed extension. Kemeys Folly also offers a cinema room, plus high-speed broadband and an entertainment system throughout the property.
Set in approximately 24 acres of countryside and ancient woodland, with miles of walks and rides nearby, Kemeys Folly also boasts formal gardens with panoramic views, a separate leisure building with indoor swimming pool, as well as stables and a number of other outbuildings. While in a rural setting, the property is just four miles from Caerleon and under three miles from the M4, offering easy access to Cardiff and Bristol, and London trains from Newport or Bristol Parkway. Excellent shopping, sporting and educational facilities are all within easy reach.
Outdoor facilities
Security gates open onto a sweeping drive, passing an impressive old oak tree. The partly walled front gardens offer wide lawns and stone steps to the front terrace and entrance. Further gardens and a wide westerly terrace to the rear overlook the Usk Valley, offering outstanding views. Close by, the large detached leisure building houses the indoor swimming pool and changing facilities, with a separate boiler room for the biomass boiler. The septic tank is situation down the bank is emptied once a year.
The modern stables and tack room back onto a large paddock and outdoor manege. The surrounding lanes and countryside, including nearby Wentwood Forest, offer miles of rides and excellent hacking. The total grounds comprise approximately 24 acres.
Viewing is essential to truly appreciate the design, views and magnificence of this outstanding property
