Property Description
Steeped in history and probably dating back to the 17th century, Min yr Afon is situated in the most desired street in Usk.
Filled with an abundance of period features, this grand yet homely residence is well deserving of its Grade II listing. Throughout this deceptively spacious family home are sash and casement windows, many with the original shutters. The deep skirting boards and cornicing remain, along with original doors as well as exposed beams and floorboards, wall panelling, cast iron fireplaces and a large open stone chimney breast with stove.
The stone façade is set behind early nineteenth century cast iron railings, inset with Georgian sash windows. The property is entered via an impressive solid oak studded door with black ironmongery hinting at the history that lies behind.
Ground floor
entrance hall
On entering the hall there are views over the pretty courtyard, visible through the far end window.
Sitting room
From the entrance hall you approach a well-proportioned sitting room. A large open fireplace with an oak beam mantel-shelf is to one end and a shuttered sash window facing New Market Street to the other. To one corner is a large walk-in under stairs cupboard with window providing “borrowed light” onto stairs and another window into the hall.
Inner hallway
An inner hallway leads to a staircase, dining room and an authenticated 17th century stone arch that entices you through to the rear passage way, kitchen and utility.
Dining room
Light with high ceilings, the large dining room features a stunning green enamel La Parisienne modern stove sitting upon a green tiled hearth, an original storage cupboard and a lovely recessed sash window with shutters facing New Market Street.
Rear passageway
Stepping through the stone arch into the rear tiled passage way are recesses - one of which holds a ceiling high bookcase. The exceptionally wide back door with its heavy black ironmongery and fanned window above has a feeling of an old coach house doorway and leads to the courtyard.
Pantry
A good sized pantry style room has the old meat hooks still embedded in the high ceiling, a flagstone floor, a large slate slab sitting upon a brick base providing a deep oversized work surface. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer sitting alongside a Belfast sink. A cloakroom with WC and sink is also accessed from here.
Kitchen
The square shaped kitchen overlooks the courtyard through casement windows and is fitted with modern Shaker style units with worksurfaces. Built-in appliances include an eye level double oven and a four-ring gas hob. There is plumbing for a dishwasher and space for both a freestanding fridge and freezer. The kitchen also houses the boiler. The high ceilings feature meat hooks and beams.
Cellar
Large enough to be used as a wine cellar or gym.
First floor
first floor landing
As you follow the staircase up, little windows look down into the sitting room. An open landing leads to two separate corridors off to the bedrooms and a further staircase to the second floor.
Master bedroom
The master bedroom is accessed via a small hallway featuring a fully fitted dressing area to the left and, to the right, the family bathroom. The large master bedroom is well proportioned with high ceilings and dual aspect sash windows to the front and rear.
Family bathroom
A good sized traditional style modern bathroom with white suite and tiled floor.
Inner corridor
Lit by a skylight, a second inner corridor features a floor-to-ceiling curved panelled wall that leads to a further two bedrooms.
Bedroom 2
Bedroom 2 with its high ceilings still retains the half-panelled walls, cast iron fireplace, exposed floorboards, built-in wardrobe and sash recessed window with shutters and window seat.
Bedroom 3
Bedroom 3 again with high ceilings, has an en-suite shower and washhand basin, exposed floorboards, window seat and built-in cupboards.
Second floor
second floor landing
The second-floor landing features a small window opening onto the skylight, looking down upon the panelled curved wall of the first floor. Set in the eaves, the sloping ceilings feature exposed beams which are revealed on the landing and within all three further rooms.
Bedroom 4,5 & 6
Bedrooms 4 & 5 are double in size with bedroom 6 being a good sized single. This entire floor lends itself to working from home.
Outside
outside
Outside, vehicular access goes through to the garden where there is the possibility of a garage.
As you enter the courtyard, a gate leads to the wonderfully mature detached garden enclosed by an old stone wall with stunning planting, trees and a lush green lawn. Tucked away is a shed and summerhouse almost hidden amongst the plants, a lovely safe haven.
Additional Information:
It is worth noting that many years ago planning was granted for a garage.
Min yr Afon has also featured in the Pevsner Architectural Guide: The Buildings of Wales Gwent/Monmouthshire – John Newman. It reads: “the long stone range beyond, Min yr Afon and Ynys Hafod is sash-windowed and set behind early C19 railings. But radiating voussoirs in the wall show that there were originally wider windows. The whole range may date back to the early C17.”
