The large entrance hallway, with its traditional flagstone flooring, provides an impressive welcome to this lovely period house, which exudes the charm of its era, with spacious, light-filled rooms, sash windows, high ceilings and traditional doors, some with decorative surrounds. Ideal for a family, the flexible layout includes three reception rooms a ground floor dining room, an elegant living room and a delightful first floor library, which could alternatively be used as a study, drawing room or seventh bedroom.

The two ground floor reception rooms are situated either side of the central entrance hallway. To one side is the dining room, with a front-facing sash window and high ceiling with coving. To the other is the generous living room, flooded with natural light from the lovely, large front-facing bow window. This room also features a handsome fireplace with a wood-burning stove.

A staircase rises from the entrance hallway to a split-level, first-floor landing, leading to three generous bedrooms and a modern shower room. At the front of the house, benefitting from the distinctive first floor bow window, is an elegant room currently used as a library and fitted with built-in bookshelves.

The second floor, originally a self-contained apartment, provides three further bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, with some of these rooms having amazing views over Chepstow.
