A remarkable lifestyle property set in about one acre of grounds, enjoying breathtaking panoramic views, a heated outdoor pool and exceptional privacy in the heart of the Monmouthshire
Hillcrest occupies an enviable elevated position in Waunllapria, commanding spectacular panoramic views across the surrounding mountains and valleys. Set within about one acre of private grounds, this is a rare lifestyle property that successfully combines privacy, space and tranquillity with excellent accessibility.
The house offers beautifully balanced accommodation extending to approximately 1,886 sq ft. At its heart is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area measuring over 30 ft in length, creating a wonderful sociable space for modern family living and entertaining. Large windows and doors draw the eye towards the magnificent landscape beyond, ensuring the ever-changing countryside remains a constant feature of daily life.
Complementing the main living space is a cosy snug, ideal as a family room or retreat, together with a utility room and a ground floor bedroom. A family bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor provides a principal bedroom with en suite and dressing area together with two further double bedrooms and an additional family bathroom.
Outside, Hillcrest truly comes into its own. The grounds have been thoughtfully arranged to maximise enjoyment of the exceptional setting, with generous lawns, entertaining terraces and a heated outdoor swimming pool served by an efficient heat pump. Whether enjoying summer gatherings with family and friends, relaxing beside the pool, or simply taking in the remarkable sunsets, the outdoor spaces offer a lifestyle rarely found.
The property also benefits from a detached garage and a substantial outbuilding currently utilised as a party barn, providing excellent flexibility for entertaining, hobbies or storage.
Wildlife is a constant presence, with pheasants and a variety of countryside species regularly visiting the grounds, while the surrounding landscape provides an outstanding backdrop throughout the seasons. On occasion, low-flying military aircraft can be seen navigating the valley, creating a dramatic spectacle against the mountain scenery.
What struck me most about Hillcrest was the sense of peace. The views are simply breathtaking and seem to change with every hour of the day and every season of the year. It is rare to find a property that feels so private and immersed in nature, whilst remaining so convenient for schools, transport links and Abergavenny. The combination of the heated pool, generous grounds and spectacular setting creates a home that offers not just accommodation, but an exceptional way of life.
