5 bed detached house for sale

Russborough Villa, Leigh Road, Trevethin, Pontypool NP4

Description

The property is thought to have been gifted to the church by the renowned Hanbury family of Pontypool, who used it as a part-time residence during the 1800s when not in residence at Pontypool House in Pontypool Park. The property has since been sympathetically renovated, blending its rich heritage with elegant modern living.

Entering through the Regency-style veranda with fine original ironwork and an oak-and-glazed Georgian door, you are welcomed into a grand reception hallway, from here, three generously proportioned reception rooms with original glazed windows and bespoke hardwood bays provide superb living and entertaining spaces, each enhanced by soaring ceilings and an abundance of natural light and access to galley-style ground floor cloakroom and a spacious utility room
The heart of the home is a beautifully designed dining area, complete with a bespoke hand-crafted dining table (to remain) and a secondary staircase to the first floor. This space flows seamlessly into the impressive kitchen, fitted with handmade Italian porcelain tiles, extensive cabinetry, and work surfaces. A 'Quooker' boiling-water tap, waste disposal unit, and Rangemaster oven complete the specification. A vaulted ceiling enhances the sense of space and light, while rear access leads directly to the gardens.
Upstairs, the principal staircase rises to a large landing. The master suite includes a dressing area, a luxurious ensuite with freestanding bath positioned in front of a picture window, and a double walk-in shower. Four further super-king bedrooms follow, one benefitting from a Jack-and-Jill connection to an adjoining bedroom, each retaining private access. A self contained guest suite with its own dressing area and en-suite completes the first floor.
Set within approximately 1⁄2-3⁄4 acre, the grounds are laid mainly to lawn with mature trees and hedging providing privacy without interrupting the outstanding views. Indian stone terraces offer multiple seating and entertaining areas. Secure double electric gates and high stone walls ensure privacy to the front, with a sweeping driveway offering generous parking and a detached garage.
