Brockweir, Chepstow

This delightful, period detached cottage enjoys a picturesque woodland setting above the meandering River Wye near the lovely village of Brockweir in the Lower Wye Valley.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Wye Valley National Landscape, two-bed Spring Cottage is set in 1.07 acres of mature gardens. A rural gem in an idyllic location, it is within 300 metres of the riverside. There are wonderful walks from the doorstep and it is less than a mile from the Offa's Dyke Path National Trail. All this makes it ideal as a self-catering holiday cottage, but equally, it would make a perfect home for a couple or small family.




The traditional cottage has been refurbished by the vendor to a high standard. It has two double bedrooms, a first floor bathroom, a cosy lounge with a woodburning stove, a charming kitchen/dining room and a conservatory. It also enjoys both a double garage and ample off-road parking, which is much prized in this area.

Brockweir is a small but vibrant riverside settlement, well-served by the award-winning Brockweir and Hewelsfield Village Shop, which stocks local produce and has a lovely café, which provides a lively meeting place for locals. The café is also very popular with walkers, being close to Offa's Dyke Path and the Wye Valley Walk. Other village facilities include a playing field next to the village shop and The Mackenzie Hall, which hosts a range of classes, clubs and events, including a Tennis Club.

Offering a blissful rural lifestyle, the cottage is nevertheless easily accessible. The historic market towns of Chepstow (8 miles) and Monmouth (11 miles) are a short drive away. Larger conurbations within easy reach include Bristol (25 miles), Newport (26 miles) and Cardiff (37 miles). From Monmouth, the A40/M50 gives access to the Midlands.

STEP INSIDE: - This attractive country cottage has a symmetrical faade and in the centre is a pretty enclosed, gabled porch with a tiled roof. A glazed door opens from the porch directly to the cosy living room, which is full of character, with an exposed stone wall at one end and a large, open fireplace with a wood burning stove set on a stone hearth. The room has practical tiled flooring and painted exposed ceiling joists. There is a window to the front, overlooking the gardens.

From the living room, a part-glazed door opens to the charming, cottage-style kitchen/breakfast room, which kitchen is fitted with a range of Shaker-style units under rolled top work surfaces with tiled splashbacks. There is a one-and-a-half bowl sink unit with mixer taps, a built in double oven and a ceramic hob with an extractor over. Painted exposed ceiling joists add character to the lovely room, which is filled with natural light from windows to the front and side. The kitchen has tiled flooring and the units are arranged in an L-shape, leaving space in one corner for a breakfast table.

Through a door from the kitchen is a useful utility room/boot room, with cupboards and space and plumbing for a washing machine. A door opens to an external covered, tiled walkway with one open side, which stretches along the back of the cottage and affords lovely woodland views. This unique walkway leads to a wood-framed conservatory positioned to the side of the property, a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.

An attractive, contemporary oak staircase leads from the living room to the first floor, where there are two light-filled double bedrooms and a modern, family bathroom with a bath with a shower over.

Outside - The cottage is situated above a country lane, from which it is secluded by established hedging. A driveway from the lane leads up to a generous parking area in front of a detached double garage. From the driveway, a pathway winds a way through pretty cottage gardens to the front of the property.

The cottage enjoys the most gorgeous setting, backing onto woodland and surrounded by greenery. It sits in 1.07 acres, which include an area of level lawn ideal for outdoor dining and for relaxing and soaking up the sights and sounds of nature. The gardens are set into a hillside and above the cottage is a mixed orchard, which is carpeted in bluebells and wild garlic in the spring and above this ancient woodland. The captivating grounds also include a pond.
