OVERVIEW

A spacious detached cottage in an idyllic location within the Wye Valley set within gardens and grounds of just over one acre bordered by a stream.

The original stone cottage, believed to date from the 18th century, has been extended and updated over the years to provide unusually spacious and flexible accommodation. It is situated in a quiet secluded valley off a no-through lane leading to just two other cottages.

The ground floor comprises entrance hall, large living room with wood burning stove and French doors to the garden, dining room with an open fireplace, French style kitchen, study, bathroom, and a spacious family room which would also be ideal as a studio, office or games room. The first floor comprises 3 double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The cottage has charming features including two wood burning stoves, an open fireplace, slate floors, exposed floorboards and attractive casement windows.

The immediate gardens are extensively laid to lawn with a good variety of mature trees and shrubs. To the rear is a substantial wild garden area and a large wooden shed. Adjacent to the cottage is a further part of the garden, parking area, stone-fronted outbuilding, and an area of sloping deciduous woodland.

The property is situated in a tranquil valley which affords pleasant walks through broadleaf bluebell woods and open countryside. The cottage is approximately 1 mile from the centre of Tintern village, which is prettily located on the banks of the River Wye and offers public houses, tea rooms, shops and a doctors’ surgery.

The nearby towns of Monmouth and Chepstow bring good facilities within easy reach, and there are excellent road links to Bristol, Cardiff and London.

 THE WOODLAND

 

TINTERN is a particularly scenic village curving around the beautiful River Wye with a backdrop of

 

wooded hillsides. This village made even more spectacular by the historic riverside Abbey Ruins and the old Abbey buildings including the Abbey Mill. This Mill 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 doctors surgery and an antique shop as well as several Local Inns. With little fishing boats moared on the river banks it is a truly delightful place to be.

 

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.

 

MONMOUTH itself is a thriving town with excellent shopping facilities including three supermarkets in the centre including Waitrose, Somerfield, M& S Food Hall and now Lidl on the outskirts. There is a delightful period cinema which is undergoing a refurbishment programme. The excellent Leisure Centre with swimming pools, gymnasium etc. There is a wide range of eating and drinking venues from interesting coffee shops to French, cuisine.

 

SCHOOLS For so many parents good schooling is a major concern and Monmouth can offer it all, with an excellent comprehensive school with a wide 6th form syllabus and two highly reputed private schools, Haberdashers for Boys and Girls. School buses are available from most villages.

 

MOTORWAYS 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, Newport Bristol, Gloucester, Hereford or Abergavenny.

 

BUS SERVICE To Chepstow and Monmouth – Daily regular service 

 

DIRECTIONS Once in Tintern, turn at the Royal George Hotel (left if coming from Chepstow/M48, right if coming from Monmouth).  Follow this road for approximately one mile, going through an area of cottages into wooded countryside, passing a ‘road narrows’ sign and a fishing pond on your left.  Take the next right-hand turn, which is a small un-surfaced drive just before the ruins of Tintern Ironworks.  After 200 metres, park on the grassed parking area to your left.  Old Furnace Cottage is the first house.
