Set within the picturesque rolling countryside of Pontypool, The Bays on Usk Road is a joyously open detached home, slightly raised on its plot and presenting privacy and community spirit in equal measure.

Just minutes from the Brecon and Monmouthshire canal, there are pub gardens on your doorstep (one rated in the top 10 of a Guardian poll) and a local farm shop to tickle your taste buds and keep you stocked with the best fresh produce.From the lead up to the the house, which has a long driveway up to the garage, or alternative driving ‘nook' and winding footpath to the front door, The Bays has been cleverly set out to welcome guests, and boy will they come when you host them.

An unusual frontage, a mammoth bay window sits to one side of the front door with French doors on the other. It's a quirky touch but when you step inside you'll understand why. As you step over the threshold you'll see a beautifully bright living room space, complete with a fireplace for cosy evenings but with a dual aspect, one of which is those forward facing French doors that lead onto a terrace for evening tipples and winding down with that enchanting view to calm your senses.

Downstairs is resplendent in sitting rooms and zones for relaxing, with the more formal living room enjoying the colossal bay window in a warming terracotta hue. Through to the rear of the home and the kitchen is impressively designed, well laid out and thoughtfully designed with slick modern touches each way your turn. Open and flowing with the main dining space, the kitchen has underfloor heating topped with luxurious porcelain tiles, and integrated appliances, set within slick, high gloss, two toned cabinetry and highlighted by spotlights throughout. A four ring gas hob and bespoke extractor fan/hood makes a statement of cooking, as does the central island with built-in storage. Perfect for hosting. A utility room has space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Connecting the downstairs flow is an office space, which also enjoys the comfort of the underfloor heating and has the potential to knock through and connect with the utility room should you wish to create a larger space for alternate needs. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor layout.

Upstairs, four bright and sunny bedrooms sit, stylish and comfortable. The main bedroom boasts the same dual aspect as the downstairs lounge with those glorious views of the countryside - it's quite the view to wake up to. Built-in double wardrobes reside here as does an ensuite with power shower. The further three bedrooms are excellent sizes and views are in abundance from this first floor perspective, casting your eye over the garden or nearby countryside, whichever way you look. The main family bathroom has been crisply designed in a modern way, with a free-standing bath tub and separate walk-in rain shower. Cooke and Lewis fixtures and fittings, porcelain tiles and ample airing cupboard storage.

Steps outside and you're presented with another opportunity to maximise on living. The double garage is equipped with a separate electrical circuit and plays with the sloping nature of the home's plot of land. Set into the garden, the garage is currently configured as a simple office space, accessible via the raised garden lawn area. It would make a great yoga studio - throw those doors open and welcome nature in to your practice.

The rest of the garden is an elevated, view-centric secluded spot. From front to back, the exterior of The Bays impresses; from the lovely lawn and bountiful hydrangeas in the front, with the terrace enjoying the views, to the more private and peaceful rear garden, raised and perfectly formed, with a decked area for dining and drinking into the evening.

The Bays sits within a lovely community, one which feels rural but is well connected to roads leading to Newport and Cardiff. The train station is a short walk away but why venture on rail when on your doorstep sits lovely country pubs and the canal for nature walks. Local treasures such as Folly, The Grotto and Trig Points are all there waiting for you.
