Set high above the Usk Valley, Sunnybank is a home with a Family story that stretches back to 1945, when it welcomed the first generation of this family. What began as a modest three bedroom cottage has today, over the past 30 years, been thoughtfully extended and transformed into a spacious, versatile family home that has evolved beautifully with its current owners.

Today, the property sits within just under three acres of gardens and paddocks, offering a unique blend of character, space and lifestyle. Elevated to take full advantage of its position, Sunnybank enjoys breathtaking views across Abergavenny and towards the Sugar Loaf, the Skirrid and the Blorenge, creating a setting that feels both peaceful and inspiring.

With generous accommodation, a separate annexe, useful outbuildings and circa 3 Acres land ideal for a smallholding or equestrian use, this is a home that offers far more than first meets the eye, perfectly suited to those looking for space, flexibility and a connection to the countryside.

You are welcomed into the home via a generous entrance porch and hallway, setting the tone for the space and versatility that follows. The original part of the property retains a real sense of warmth and character, with a cosy dual aspect lounge that is flooded with natural light and enjoys direct access out onto the front terrace, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.

Across the hall, a dedicated home office provides a practical and increasingly essential space for those working from home, while still feeling connected to the rest of the house. As you move into the extended section, the property opens up into an impressive open plan living environment, designed to maximise both light and views. The wraparound reception space creates a natural flow for modern family living while offering defined yet connected areas for dining, relaxing and entertaining.

At the heart of it all sits the kitchen, thoughtfully laid out with a peninsula, Rangemaster stove and a wealth of storage, making it both a functional and social hub of the home. Supporting this space is a separate utility room, pantry and ground floor cloakroom, all adding to the practicality of day to day life, particularly after enjoying the surrounding countryside.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues with five well proportioned bedrooms, each offering comfortable accommodation, alongside a family bathroom and a primary bedroom with its own ensuite, providing a private retreat within the home.

Externally, the property continues to impress with a range of additional spaces that enhance both its flexibility and lifestyle appeal. A separate one bedroom annexe provides excellent secondary accommodation, ideal for multi generational living, guest stays or even as an opportunity for additional income. It offers independence while still being closely connected to the main house.

There is also a sweeping driveway leading to a substantial double garage, providing ample storage or workshop space, with a room above that lends itself perfectly to a home office, studio or games room, offering further versatility depending on your needs. There is also is a covered swim spa, allowing you to enjoy a swim while taking in the surrounding views, a feature that perfectly captures the lifestyle this home provides.

The gardens wrap beautifully around the home, creating a wonderful sense of space and privacy. Predominantly laid to level lawns to the fore, they provide plenty of room for family life, entertaining or simply enjoying the surroundings. A large patio terrace sits perfectly to the rear, positioned to capture the evening sun while taking in the far reaching views across the valley towards Crickhowell.

Beyond the formal gardens, the land gently opens out into a paddock, creating an ideal smallholding for those looking to embrace a more rural lifestyle. There is ample space to keep animals along with a partially built outbuilding for stabling or storage, allowing you to manage the land and enjoy the outdoors, without the burden of maintaining extensive acreage, striking a perfect balance between usability and lifestyle.

The property also benefits from a separate parcel of land, positioned across a bridleway, which provides direct access for hacking, a real advantage for those with equestrian interests.

Sunnybank enjoys an enviable elevated position above the sought after village of Govilon, set on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, an area renowned for its natural beauty and outdoor pursuits. With an abundance of walking, cycling and riding routes right on your doorstep, this is an ideal base for those who enjoy an active lifestyle or simply want to immerse themselves in the countryside.

Despite its peaceful setting, the property is well placed between the popular towns of Abergavenny and Crickhowell, both known for their independent shops, cafés, restaurants and strong sense of community. This combination of rural living with excellent local amenities makes Sunnybank a truly well balanced home in a highly desirable location.
