NESTLED into the glorious Monmouthshire countryside is a historic site that can offer an owner a distinctive past but also potentially an exciting future.

At what could already be described as a “mini-hamlet” there are dwellings already onsite to explore - Fisherman’s Cottage and Stables House, both three-bed homes plus The Arches, a two-bed apartment.

But for anyone who has the vision to optimise potential at a development site via a partial renovation of the spaces still vacant, the opportunity to create more dwellings is surely exciting.

The two large buildings on the site are called North Range and South Range and are part of the site known as Llangybi Castle Farm, tucked away off a smaller A-road that meanders through the stunning Vale of Usk.

Days spent exploring this landscape on foot, bike or horse and the enticement of river-based activities, especially in and around the nearby River Usk, are all on the doorstep of this intriguing collection of properties for sale.

There's the temptation of golf, too, with choices including nearby Woodlake Park Golf Club or the courses at Celtic Manor just outside Newport, famous primarily for hosting the 2010 Ryder Cup on its Twenty Ten Course.
