Summary

This is an outstanding two bedroom garden apartment in a beautiful Edwardian conversion set in the protected conservation quarter, one of Abergavenny’s most historic and sought-after locations.  One of just two ground floor residences in the building, this apartment enjoys wrap around gardens to the side and rear, with its own secure gate and entrance door to the side, and direct access from the principal bedroom into its landscaped walled garden.  This apartment also has a detached, insulated garden room equipped with power and lighting which will appeal to those working from home or seeking a hobbies or additional recreational space.

LIGHT-FILLED LIVING WITH INSPIRING VIEWS

This apartment is wonderfully light and bright, with tall twin windows in its open plan living space to the front plus a window in the kitchen area creating a dual aspect room which is   complemented by high ceilings and contemporary lighting illuminating the dining area.  Whilst at the rear, both bedrooms have windows overlooking its private garden. 

This exceptional two-bedroom apartment forms part of a lovingly restored Edwardian building. Formerly St Michael’s Convent (from the 1970s) and, before that, a school dating back to the 1940s, the property is steeped in local heritage and character.  The building has been sensitively and skilfully transformed by a family team into just four high-spec apartments—each crafted with care, and with modern living and sustainability in mind.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN, MINIMAL COSTS

This home is part of an innovative eco-retrofit, incorporating six integrated features that significantly reduce energy consumption. Estimated monthly energy bills are estimated to be as low as £55, saving £2,000–£3,000 per year compared with typical period conversions. Thanks to the high build quality, other ongoing costs are impressively low. The four apartment owners will share the freehold and can directly manage spending, eliminating the need for a management company. Monthly contributions for insurance, maintenance, and repairs are estimated to be just £26 - much lower than local average service charges. 

The fully fitted kitchen, bathroom, windows, hot water and heating systems are all covered by ten-year guarantees, offering peace of mind for years to come.

A private garage is available by separate negotiation, which is not currently allocated to any of the four apartments. Ideal for young professionals, downsizers, and anyone who wants to be near Abergavenny’s independent shops, cafés, and restaurants, and the Black Mountains for escaping to nature.
