3 bedroom detached house for sale

Halewood is a blend of an old cottage and thoughtful extensions that come together to create a spacious home offering privacy, space and beauty that's perfect for modern life. Features such as wooden beams and exposed stone provide plenty of old-world charm. The characterful stable-door entrance leads into a welcoming dining room with a fire place, built-in cupboards, ceiling beams and solid oak flooring that extends to adjacent rooms, with the original staircase tucked away in a corner. To one side of this area is a cosy snug with an exposed stone fireplace fitted with a new Penguin woodburner. With lovely views of the garden, this space is currently used as a music room. A hallway with stone walls, solid oak flooring floor and a bespoke oak staircase lies off the dining area. Steps lead into a large living room, which has a woodburning stove and French windows that let in plenty of light. Also off the hallway you will find the downstairs cloakroom. On the other side of the hall there's a roomy kitchen/dining area, with ceramic-tiled floor and wooden units made by Cymru Kitchens. There's a large AGA range, freestanding companion with a hob, fitted Bosch electric oven and an American-style fridge. A Franke sink and Quooker instant boiling water tap sit in the granite-topped island. An oak-framed garden room next to the kitchen is the perfect spot to soak up the sunshine, with French doors opening onto views of the heated outdoor swimming pool, the terraces, and the treetops of the Wye Valley beyond. This room's Mandarin stone floor continues into the utility room, with fitted cupboards, wooden work surfaces and Belfast-style sink, with space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. The main bedroom has an en suite bathroom with a shower, fitted wardrobes and a private terrace with beautiful views of the swimming pool towards the valley. Steps lead from this terrace to the heated swimming pool and sun terrace. There are two other double bedrooms with their own unique characters and styles, one with a fitted wardrobe, and a family bathroom. An airing cupboard sits at the top of the stairs. The current owners have undertaken an extensive refurbishment of the property, making it ready for new owners to move straight into.

Location and Situation - Tintern is located in the Wye Valley National Landscape (AONB). This historic village sits on the west bank of the River Wye in Monmouthshire, on the border of Wales and England. Tintern is well known for its ruined abbey and rocky limestone outcrops winding across Offa's Dyke. The village, designated as a Conservation Area, has pubs, an award-winning vineyard, GP surgery, a produce market twice a month and several shops, pubs and cafes. It offers delightful routes for walking and horse and bike riding, and various community and sports clubs. A highlight of the village is The Royal George, an historic high-end gastro pub and hotel, which has recently reopened following a major refurbishment. It offers a stylish setting for drinks, brunch, or dinner - whether casual or more formal - with lovely gardens perfect for enjoying a drink and a pizza in the sunshine. Tintern is around five miles from Chepstow, a thriving market town with a high street offering a range of independent shops, restaurants, public houses and services, along with a racecourse and a castle - the oldest surviving post-Roman stone fortification in Britain. It is around 10 miles from Monmouth, which has an upscale shopping street, branches of Waitrose and M&S Food and two theatres. The area around Tintern is well-served by excellent educational institutions schools, including the Haberdashers' independent schools in Monmouth. Tintern has excellent transport links and is about six miles from Junction 2 of the M48 Motorway, which crosses the Severn near Chepstow and links to the M4 giving easy access to Cardiff, Newport, Bristol and London. The rail station at Chepstow is a 15-minute drive away, and journeys to London from nearby Bristol Parkway take just over an hour.

Outside - Halewood sits within a peaceful, wooded valley and is reached through discreet electric gates that open into a driveway flanked by post and rail fencing. On one side there are two large paddocks suitable for ponies or other livestock and alive with seasonal wild flowers and orchids, with a backdrop of mature woodland. The grasslands gently descend down towards an enclosed duck pond, which is fenced off for chickens. Immediately surrounding the house are gardens planted with specimen trees and mature shrubs, with a heritage-style greenhouse and cold frames and a large vegetable patch for keen growers, and an old orchard. To one side of the cottage is a large heated swimming pool with sun terraces, bordered by a thick laurel hedge. In total, the house is surrounded by around 2.46 acres. Beyond it is the Barbadoes Wood. Living at Halewood means being close to nature with deer from the woods visiting the property on occasion, along with swallows and mallard ducks returning every year to nest in the grounds. A wood and timber outhouse beyond the cottage has potential to be converted into a studio or annexe, subject to planning permission. There's also plenty of room for parking.
