Whitehaven, Penywaun Road, St. Dials, Cwmbran, NP44

This wonderful home overlooks beautiful mature gardens from all sides and has a feature open veranda to front , almost certainly inspired by a Victorian cricket pavilion building, with charming ornamental structure, gingerbread trim, ornate scrollwork, spindles and lattice work making up the original balustrades and newel posts.
With the open sides design offering shelter and seating area along the entire front of the property.
The roof is enhanced with a characteristic central cupola style window and tiled pitch with tall brick chimneys on either side complimenting the aesthetic look of this beautiful home.
We enter form the porch into a vestibule with original terrazzo flooring and an original solid wooden glazed door which leads us into a spacious entrance hallway, each door from here is original and has the most superb baker light and brass handles.
The lounge boasts meticulously maintained original hand blown solid wood windows, cast iron ornate log burner and overlooks the gardens beyond, the second bedroom/currently used as a dining room has a fantastic solid oak 1920's tall fireplace with gas fire inset for effect.
Again the window overlooks the lovely gardens.
Also on this floor are two further double bedrooms, one being the master and is a superb size and the other lending itself to bedroom four.
The kitchen is a solid wood, hand made bespoke kitchen with quarry style tiled work tops and metro style terracotta floor tiles, individually laid.
From here is a side access to the garden surrounds and stairs to the first floor.
On the first floor is bedroom three and a very spacious bathroom which has a 4 piece heritage suite finish including a lovely pedestal wash hand basin, matching W.C. bath and a step in shower cubicle with electric shower over.
There is ample storage in the bathroom to the eves as there is to bedroom three.
Again, all windows overlook the stunning grounds that completely surround the bungalow.
The well maintained and presented garden surrounding this charming 1920s home is beautifully tranquil.
A double-gated entrance opens onto a sweeping driveway that gracefully curves towards a double garage, providing ample space for vehicles and storage and has numerous double sockets and full
full lighting.

As you step through the gates, you are immediately greeted by lush, manicured lawns that extend in every direction, framed by mature trees and a rich tapestry of shrubbery, offering excellent privacy.
The meticulously maintained flower beds burst with seasonal blooms, their vibrant colours and delicate fragrances inviting you to linger and enjoy the natural splendour.

On one side of the house, a quaint pathway leads to a secluded patio area, perfect for al fresco dining or enjoying a morning coffee amidst the tranquil surroundings. Adjacent to this patio is a well-organized large log store and secure bike storage, which has a water outlet and power and lightiing, a further out building is an outside toilet with power, water and lighting, all this, seamlessly integrated into the garden's design without disrupting its aesthetic appeal.

To the side of the property, a hidden gem awaits-a small, secluded seating area surrounded by foliage and flowering plants, creating a perfect spot for quiet reflection or intimate gatherings.

Encircling the entire property, the mature trees and dense shrubbery not only offer privacy but also attract a variety of birds and wildlife, The combination of carefully curated plantings and natural elements results in a harmonious blend of beauty and functionality, making this garden a perfect complement to the elegance and charm of the 1920s home it surrounds.
