Imagine a house in the country with pillared stone gates a sweeping gravel drive to the front door - sitting in its own spacious grounds, set in beautiful countryside and away from busy roads and you have The Firs.

This really is a spacious home with the main house having six very large bedrooms, three reception rooms plus a farmhouse style kitchen allowing space for informal eating.

The added bonus is the purpose built annex which again offers generous proportions contained in a ground floor wing of the house and itself has large sitting room, conservatory with extra space for dining, a well fitted kitchen, a master bedroom with large ensuite.

Certainly throughout the house you can’t help but be impressed with the amount of space on offer. The house is ideally suited now to a multi generation family or even perhaps someone who wants to work from home requiring office space etc. However the annex rooms could easily be incorporated into the main house with little additional work required.

The entrance hall is generous and from this large area the annex suite can be accessed as well as the main house i.e. Main house to the centre and right with the annex wing to the left.

Firstly, we will talk about the Main house, which has a Sitting Room with fireplace and French windows opening to the terrace and gardens. The extensively fitted kitchen also has French doors to the garden, integral appliances and space for a family sized table and chairs. The formal Dining Room next door has a feature natural stone fireplace with a large woodburning stove on flagstone hearth and windows to two aspects. Further there is a small Study, Cloakroom, Utility room and large Boot room, also with access to the garden.

Upstairs the exceptionally large Master Bedroom leads into an ensuite that is particularly grand with massive central bath (for two) with Jacuzzi and fitted headrests. There is also a large shower cubicle, two matching wash basins and overhead mirrors beautifully tiled From the landing lead the other five large bedrooms, one of which also has a modern ensuite. There is also a further shower and toilet facilities.

The Annex leads from the Hallway. Again of generous proportions, with a large Sitting Room with fireplace and glazed doors open to the Conservatory/Sun Room. The Conservatory area with a partially glazed roof offers sufficient sitting space for enjoying the sunshine but the section next to the kitchen is a cooler area for dining etc. The large and modern, farmhouse style Kitchen has been well fitted with good quality units and has integral appliances. The large double Bedroom opens to another large bathroom with bath and shower facilities. It is perfectly geared to an older person’s needs.


OUTSIDE
The gardens and grounds are delightfully landscaped with low stone walling, gravel pathways and driveway, sun terrace and  lawns surrounded by  established  planting with attractive flower borders, a wide variety of mature trees and shrubs offering the space and privacy we all crave. The grounds include 3 level paddocks (with direct access from the lane outside the house) and also include some useful outbuildings. There used to be a grass tennis court, which could be restored if desired.

IN SUMMARY
This super sized family house has a great deal of accommodation and with so much space on offer will most definitely suit a multi generation family. The room count and individual room sizes are impressive, including the generous annex. The location is wonderful, in the heart of beautiful countryside and with no noisy roads nearby and yet accessible to the motorway network at Chepstow a few miles away. The paddocks wrap around the house, and so for anyone with ponies or livestock would be particularly easy to manage. Certainly if you are looking for location this is most definitely a house that should be viewed as soon as possible

TINTERN is a particularly scenic village curving around the beautiful River Wye with a backdrop of wooded hillsides. This village is made even more spectacular by the historic riverside Abbey Ruins and the old Abbey buildings including the Abbey Mill. This Mill is now converted into a gift shop and tea rooms. There are a small number of Hotels offering both accommodation and restaurant facilities. There is a doctor’s surgery and an antique shop as well as several local inns. Little fishing boats moored on the river banks make it a truly delightful place.
 
TRELLECH is now a nearby small village but it is believed was once the largest settlement in the whole of Wales. The village derives its name from three standing stones in a field just outside the village. There are archeological excavations taking place on the outskirts. The village has a community centre, pub, doctor’s surgery and two churches.

MONMOUTH itself is a thriving town with excellent shopping facilities including three supermarkets in the centre (Waitrose, Somerfield, M&S Food Hall) and now Lidl on the outskirts. There is a delightful period cinema and theatre which is undergoing a refurbishment programme. The excellent Leisure Centre has a swimming pool, gymnasium etc. There is a wide range of eating and drinking venues from interesting coffee shops to French cuisine.
CHEPSTOW is an historic, walled, border town on the site of an ancient port. Chepstow Castle below the town has a spectacular setting on the cliffs above the River Wye. The town has a thriving shopping centre with all amentites. On the outskirts of the town is the Racecourse which has Conference Centre facilities. The design of the river bridge spanning the Wye has been credited to Rennie but was in fact designed by Rastrick of Bridgenorth. Both the rivers Wye and the Severn meet near Chepstow and two unique bridges span the wide expanse of water at the Severn estuary - a massive benefit for benefit for motorists using the M48 and M4 who otherwise would need to drive to Gloucester to cross.

SCHOOLS
For so many parents good schooling is a major concern and this area can offer it all.

The catchment area state primary school is in Trellech and transport is provided from the end of the short lane leading to ‘The Firs’. There are further small village primary schools nearby in Llandogo and Redbrook. Further afield there are larger primary schools with good reputations in both Monmouth and Chepstow.

The catchment area state comprehensive school is in Monmouth and again transport is provided from the end of the short lane leading to ‘The Firs’. This enjoys an excellent reputation with a wide 6th form syllabus. There are two state comprehensive schools in Chepstow. Wyedean School is the English side of the River Wye and Chepstow Comprehensive is the Welsh side of the river.

Monmouth can also offer two highly reputed independent schools, Haberdashers for Boys and Girls. These cover both prep and senior age ranges. School buses are available from most villages. In Chepstow there is St Johns on the Hill prep school which offers independent education.

MOTORWAY
The M50/M5/M4 are all reasonably close giving good access to major cities i.e. Birmingham, Bristol, Newport, Cardiff, Bath, Cheltenham, Gloucester and Hereford all within approx 1.5 hours drive away.
 
RAIL NETWORKS  Available at Chepstow, Lydney, Gloucester, Hereford or Newport.
