You're in for a surprise as you enter this converted barn on a farm near the town of Usk. A far cry from the period features and chintz you may expect in a home like this, it's been designed with plenty of contemporary flair. Bright and open, and with a superb glass roof over the sitting area, it's all crisp white walls, anthracite framed windows and modern wood floors. Floor-to-ceiling windows on the ground floor open it right up to the patio and there's a choice between eating at the dining table or outside on fine days. And while the high-spec kitchen is perfectly practical for cooking at home, there's also the option of a barbecue. Three excellent en-suite bedrooms top off the accommodation but there's a little secret this home has been holding back – it's also got a private hot tub and a fire pit in the garden. Just a little over two miles from Usk, it's close to the local reservoir, where you can book all sorts of water sports, and there's a golf course nearby too. Whether you're exploring the area by foot or by bike, it's a great spot on a charming smallholding – perfect for all... the family and with fields and sheep as far as the eye can see.

About Gwent
Oh, where to start with this delightfully diverse corner of Wales? There are beautiful market towns full of character – take Abergavenny and Monmouth for starters, places you could happily potter around for hours on end. There are many pretty waterways to explore on foot, by bike, or by boat, including the River Wye and the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal. And there's a heap of fascinating industrial heritage at Big...
