Location & Description
For someone looking for a large Georgian Country House of character together with land and equestrian facilities, you may just have found what you are searching for!
Brelston Court lies on the elevated rural outskirts of the dispersed hamlet of Marstow, some 7 miles southwest of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye, and approx. 6 miles north of the historic town of Monmouth.
The property comprises a Listed Grade II Country House with a walled rear garden and lovely old Folly in one corner of that garden. Beyond same are approx. 17 acres of sloping paddocks and pasture land which run down to the River Garron which forms the boundary at the lower extent of the land.
The property retains many original features including exposed beams, window shutters, flagstone, tiled and hardwood floors, paneled and pine doors. There is also an oil fired Aga, woodburning stove and a large open fireplace. The six bedroom accommodation is arranged over three floors with two superb ground floor reception rooms and a fine 22' farmhouse kitchen with domestic offices adjacent.

Equestrian Facilities
Just across the other side of a country lane opposite the house are the generous equestrian facilities. These include a fine 60' steel framed, American style barn with a range of internal loose boxes along with tack room with plumbing for washing machine, whilst opposite are three additional wooden stables plus rug room again with plumbing.
Several paddocks lie adjacent, and not far away, the sand topped 20m x 40m manège/arena.
Together with the land behind the main house, the area of land in total at Brelston Court extends to approx. 25 acres.
Riding out from Brelston Court is good, more particularly if one makes an effort to get on with local farmers and land owners. A further benefit for those with large horse lorries or trailers, is that access and egress to this part of the hamlet can be in either direction, thus ensuring being able to get to your desired destination if for any reason one of the routes is blocked. Once onto the A40 dual carriageway at Whitchurch (some 2 miles away) one is directly linked into the national motorway network.

Please Note
Wishing to be transparent, open and helpful we would ask interested parties to note the following points.
1. There are some electricity pylons in the vicinity of Brelston Court and some of these are visible from certain windows and most parts of the land.
2. Some years ago the current owners installed new windows which did not meet the requirements of the Listing Authority. The Conservation Officer of Herefordshire Council has insisted that these windows be replaced by traditional wooden windows. This work remains to be done.

Directions
Approach the general area from either Ross-on-Wye or Monmouth, leaving the A40 dual carriageway at the Goodrich Turning for The Cross Keys Pub. If traveling from Monmouth, take the left hand turning prior to going over the Dual Carriageway bridge, or if travelling from Ross, turn left at The Cross Keys pub, proceeding over the dual carriageway bridge, and take the turning to the right on the corner almost immediately after. Proceed along this lane, not taking any of the turnings off and after approximately one mile, you will see an entrance to Brelston Court on the left hand side, whereas the equestrian facilities are on the right hand side.
