Description Set in the heart of the Lower Wye Valley amongst woodland the aptly named “The

Beeches” this house occupies an elevated position above Tintern with beautiful views over the Valley. It is a stone built property approached off a forestry stone track

before reaching its own gated private drive. The property is arranged over three

levels and offers versatile accommodation that would adapt to a variety of family demands and options to work from home or separate self-contained accommodation

within. It would be particularly suited to those with Equestrian or smallholding interests. CCTV covers the property.

Two entrance porches serve the property, one leading to an Inner Hallway with

wooden floor with a separate WC/Cloakroom leading off. Double doors from the Inner Hallway lead to the Kitchen which enjoys fabulous views from two large

double-glazed windows. A fitted range of units, Rangemaster cooker and matching hood are complemented by a feature fireplace with hearth and open fireplace. Doors

from the kitchen lead to a Conservatory currently used as a utility area with access to

the garden, and a further door into the beamed Dining room. Two bedrooms are located in this wing of the property at ground and first floor levels and are served by

the ground floor family bathroom. This wing could be split off to provide a self-contained annex area with its own access and benefits from French doors onto the

garden.

The Inner Hallway has a further set of double doors which lead to a Music room which in turn has a further set of double doors opening onto an exceptionally large

Drawing room with stone built fireplace and wood burning stove, raised hearth and stone arch features, with a triple aspect and French doors which access a balcony

from which to appreciate the wonderful view. Doors from the Drawing room lead to

the lower ground floor and first floor respectively. At lower ground level there is a Double bedroom/Guest suite with vanity unit and shower cubicle and a further Room

suitable for cars and horseboxes. The grazing is arranged into four separate

paddocks. A 30m x 15m mànege provides all weather exercise and training facilities to complement the excellent hacking out facilities surrounding the property.
