The Common, GL15

5 Bedroom Detached House
St Briavels Common GL15

Rare opportunity to rent this detached 5 bed character house in an idyllic rural location with breath taking views, plus barn and outbuildings, set in eight acres of paddocks & ancient woodland. Extensive parking. Easy access to nearby towns and cities. Pet friendly.

Location
Beaconsfield House is situated in the highly desirable area of St Briavels Common, just outside the mediaeval village of St Briavels which includes a small primary school rated Outstanding by Ofsted. Bath, Bristol, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Newport, Cardiff are all reachable within an hour, making this peaceful, rural spot very accessible.

Setting
The house is set well back from the small access lane and is surrounded by mature gardens, which include multiple fruit & nut trees and raised vegetable beds. The gardens and estate are approximately 8 acres in size, and in addition to several paddocks, include the top of the ancient Hudnalls woodland. The fields are currently managed by the owner remotely for hay and hedge cutting making them low maintenance, however there is an option to exclude these from the tenancy should it be desired. There are no public footpaths across the property, ensuring total privacy.

The house is named after the 250-year-old Beech tree in the garden to the north of the house - a 'Beacon' which can be seen for many miles across the Wye Valley to Wales and which now has modern illumination if desired.

There are two driveways to the property, a large garage space, and extensive parking facilities.

House
The house has many character features but has been thoughtfully adapted for modern living. It has oil fired central heating and hot water systems, alongside a wood burning stove and there is double glazing throughout.
