Published on

A converted barn featuring its own water source, photovoltaic array and roughly seven acres of land has been listed for sale in the vicinity of Devauden.

Old Oaks, available with a suggested price of £1,395,000, stands beyond twin automated gates and is marketed as an environmentally-friendly residence brimming with period charm. The dwelling was constructed by its present proprietor in 2009 and carries no listed building status.

The listing states the four-bedroom, three-bathroom detached property comprises a combined kitchen, lounge and dining area equipped with an ornamental log burner. A galleried landing functions as an additional reception space, while a snug can alternatively be utilised as a fourth bedroom. The property further includes a larder, laundry room, and a sizeable storage chamber currently serving as a home office.

Radiant floor heating has been installed across both levels. The property features double-glazed fenestration, alongside triple-glazed rooflights by Velux complete with built-in electronic blinds. All household water is sourced from a private borehole and undergoes treatment via a pH balancing system and water softening apparatus. Heating is provided by an oil-powered central heating system supplemented by a twin-element immersion heater. A solar panel installation with battery backup is also in place. An electric vehicle charging station and closed-circuit television surveillance are additional features.

A meandering driveway traverses the estate to parking facilities with adequate turning space. The holding extends to approximately seven acres encompassing grassland, paddocks, gardens and terraced areas. Stabling with connected water and electrical supplies, along with further ancillary structures, form part of the package. Externally, remotely operated lighting has been fitted and four exterior power and water outlets are available.

Perspective buyers should note the estate lies approximately seven miles from Chepstow and adjoins managed forestland. The listing indicates the village of Devauden, which provides a shop, church and play area, is reachable on foot.
