Former water mills can make unique and super pretty homes if converted sympathetically and the history of the building embraced and not ignored. But not many come onto the market, and when they do not many can boast a significant amount of the mill's former workings and features to admire and adore for decades to come - but this pretty stone property hiding in a wooded valley in Monmouthshire can boast a wealth of its original features. Nestled into a stunning landscape of undulating fields and pockets of mature woodland this mill can boast its water wheel outside and a large section of its former working life on the inside, including on the lounge ceiling and the mill stone on the floor.

READ MORE: Welsh longhouse renovation project in idyllic location for sale for first time in 100 years Surrounded by about 0.34 acres of land that includes a workshop that sits below the house, off-road parking, a greenhouse supporting vegetable beds and fruit trees, and a storage shed, the practical is ticked off, but it's the pretty that really lingers on in the memory. From the charming terrace, surrounded by lavender and planting carefully chosen to attract wildlife, the view down the wooded valley to the horizon is mesmerising and you can enjoy it immersed in bird song and insect chatter - the soundtrack of the country. Then head to the pond to relax at the water's edge - surely completing the perfect picture of an idyllic country life. Inside the home, as well as the impressive and preserved former mill features, there's a cosy yet spacious lounge complete with exposed stone fireplace and white-washed ceiling beams. The dining hall leads to a pretty and well-equipped kitchen plus ground floor cloakroom before the stairs get you to three bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. If expansion is an element to excite a potential buyer, the agent selling the mill states that ' there is a large storage space that is currently unused but lends itself well to further renovation and development with necessary planning and consents'. The mill is tucked away from the busy town and city life but it is easy to access at any time, with the hamlet of Llanvair Discoed with pub, church, shop and bus stop close by and the towns of Chepstow, Usk and Caldicot within easy driving distance to the south, with Newport and Severn Tunnel Junction the nearest train stations. The area falls within the catchment of the highly regarded Shirenewton Primary School and if gold is your passion, the Celtic Manor Golf Course and St Pierre Golf Club, both approximately seven miles from the property. Head north for Monmouth which can offer further choice of pubs, cafes, sports and events, as well as the Haberdashers' Monmouth Boys and Girls Schools. But when you're back at the mill you're back feeling relaxed and part of the landscape - and that's a tranquil lifestyle that many dream about. The mill is for sale with a guide price of £695,000 with Archer & Co, Chepstow, call 01292 626262 to find out more.
