Having just been redecorated and re-carpeted throughout it is presented in immaculate order. The house is set well back on the plot. Neat lawns surrounding the house on three sides with a garden and a large tarmac parking area to the front. The smart entrance is landscaped with established planting, neat brick pillars and retaining walls.

The inner hall having two large storage cupboards also gives access to the staircase and doors leading to ground floor rooms There are two good reception rooms each having views of the gardens. The Sitting Room has an Adam style wooden surround fireplace with a stone hearth, decorative tiled insert and is fitted with a woodburning stove. The Kitchen is a large room with a very generous work area highly unusual for houses built in the 1960’s -very much ahead of its time.

TRELLECK (SOMETIMES SPELT TRELLECH) is a particularly pretty village with a great deal of history. The village is believed by some archeaologists to have been the site of a large Roman town which matched the size of London and excavations are still taking place http://www.lostcityoftrellech.co.uk/. The village apparently derives its name from the three standing stones, known as 'Harold's Stones' which can be accessed leaving the village in a field to the left on the Chepstow road.
There is also The Virtuous Well once known as 'St. Ann's Well' and was famous for its cures - particularly those of eye ailments and women's illnesses. The well was a place of pilgrimage up until as late as the 17th Century. Visitors to this day hang strips of cloth and ribbons on nearby trees, reflecting a modern belief in the water's healing properties. It is believed that the water of the Virtuous Well runs under Harold's Stones was associated with Druidical rites. Celts regarded wells as entrances to the supernatural world, inhabited by gods or guardian spirits. Folklore says that fairies dance around the well on Midsummer's Eve, and drink its water from harebell cups the following morning.
Tump Turret is a 40 foot mound dating back to Norman times and known to be the remains of a motte and bailey castle. The first reference to a castle in Trellech was in 1231. The motte, or mound still remains but the bailey is now under the modern village. The mound may date back to pre-Roman times and according to legend it is the burial ground of King Harold's men, who were slain in battle at Trellech, as well as being the burial place of plague victims. It is said that a dreadful curse will befall anybody disturbing the mound but this did not stop the Rumsey family building a summer house on top during the 19th Century.
Moving back to more modern times there is an excellent and modern village primary school see attached link http://www.trellechprimary.ik.org/. The local inn has a great reputation for quality food and beverages.
The grand Norman Church dominates the village and is particularly impressive for a village of this size. The Babington Centre opposite the church holds regular local markets, beauty classes, regular film shows, car boots and preschool nursery see webmaster@thebabington.co.uk.
There is also a village Doctors Surgery www.wyevalleypractise.co.uk.
