Situation
Situated on the edge of the Wye Valley; an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Mounton is a small hamlet with its own Church and is supported by the nearby village of Pwllmeyric and the Historic town of Chepstow, each providing many local amenities including pubs, restaurants, farm shop and castle. There are a number of very good primary and secondary schools, both state and independent, available nearby including Monmouth Haberdashers Schools and Dean Close St John’s on the Hill prep school.
There are an abundance of outdoor activities on the doorstep including canoeing or fishing on the River Wye, exploring Tintern Abbey and running or cycling around the stunning countryside of Monmouthshire and the Forest of Dean with Offa’s Dyke and the Wye Valley Walk a short distance away.

The sitting room offers versatility, currently serving as a home office. Character features include a stone fireplace and exposed ceiling beams, while triple-aspect windows flood the space with natural light, creating an airy and inviting reception room.

Steps on either side of the Inglenook lead through to the dining room.
The dining room is a superb reception space, perfect for entertaining, and full of original features.

A built-in corner storage cupboard with aged wooden doors adds both practicality and period charm, while windows frame views across the side and rear gardens.

A stone-arched doorway with a solid wooden door leads into the kitchen/breakfast room, positioned at the rear of the property. Another solid wooden door opens directly to the rear gardens and paddock beyond. Here, painted exposed stone walls and visible timbers set the tone for a rustic yet welcoming space. The kitchen is well-appointed with a range of fitted wall and base units topped with solid granite worksurfaces, incorporating a 1.5-bowl sink unit. There is space and plumbing for a dishwasher and under-counter fridge, along with two recently installed Neff ovens, a hob, and extractor fan. The generous layout allows ample room for a table and chairs.
A doorway leads into the utility room, which provides space and plumbing for a washing machine, additional fridge and freezer. The room benefits from tiled flooring and dual windows to the side aspect, ensuring plenty of natural light.

Outside
An impressive gateway opens onto a gravelled driveway, leading to the front of the property, providing parking for numerous vehicles. The frontage is beautifully landscaped, with well-established borders and a natural pond, leading on to expansive lawned gardens, an orchard, and the former vegetable garden complete with greenhouse.
A stone archway gives access to the rear gardens, where an original cobbled area sits beside a traditional stone well, a striking focal point. Additional features include a brick-built tool/ potting shed and the oil tank. The rear lawns enjoy open views over the paddock, which is enclosed by post-and-rail fencing.
The paddock itself borders a gentle brook and is further enclosed by post-and-rail fencing and mature hedgerow, and includes a useful field shelter.
Outbuildings
Attached to the side of the property is the forner mill, providing covered parking and featuring a mezzanine level for additional storage. Beneath, there are further storage areas, where the Grant oil-fired central heating boiler is located, which has been replaced in recent years. This versatile space, with its exposed stone walls and wooden roof trusses, offers exciting potential for conversion to additional accommodation (subject to the necessary consents).
Adjoining the barn is a useful storage room with a high ceiling and solid wooden door. To the right of the entrance to the main house are stone steps that lead down to the cellar, where original cobbled flooring and a fireplace add to the property’s period charm.
