Providence Cottage, Trellech

'We could be in Italy or Southern France' we keep saying every time we sit on the bedroom decking, sipping coffee and stretching our hands to pick ripe figs and grapes from the branches.
A highlight of our years here has been watching the sunset travel across the horizon with each passing week as the seasons alter the rolling fields.'

The House
Providence Cottage is, at it's core, a home steeped in character and history but now blends remarkable contemporary living where exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful design combine to create spaces that feel luxurios. Every element has been considered, from the bespoke joinery and handcrafted plaster detailing to the carefully balanced proportions that create a sense of calm throughout. This house is fun. It has been designed to entertain and to enjoy as well as to relax. Hidden doors take you to two of the bedrooms, whilst a money tree grows up through the landing. Built-in speakers mean your music or podcast can follow you around the home and gardens, and the array of modern lighting or natural lighting means this house and it's surroundings can suit any mood or company.
At its heart is a stunning open-plan kitchen, designed by Project One and centred around an island crafted from an exceptionally rare quartz-based stone. Premium Gaggenau appliances, a boiling water tap, concealed appliances and beautifully integrated storage allow the space to function effortlessly, whilst remaining visually understated. Expansive bi-fold doors frame uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside, creating a seamless connection between the home and its remarkable setting.
Elsewhere, bespoke storage has been thoughtfully integrated into the bedrooms, with cleverly concealed doors and cabinetry maintaining the home's clean architectural lines. The main suite has been positioned to make the most of the spectacular outlook, opening directly onto private decking where the landscape can give you the best start and end to your day.
Luxury continues throughout the bathrooms, featuring beautifully specified fittings from Roca Armani, Crosswater and Mandarin Stone. Carefully selected lighting by Bocci and Flos, together with integrated Sonos, Monitor Audio and Triad sound systems, ensure the home is equally suited to quiet evenings or entertaining family and friends. Even the smallest details have been considered, from concealed cable ducts for future technology upgrades to staircases, which in turn have been designed with gentle proportions for easy everyday living.
The Gardens
Set within approximately an acre, the gardens have been designed as a series of beautifully connected and manageable spaces, encouraging exploration whilst serving multiple purposes. A handcrafted granite outdoor kitchen creates the perfect setting for summer entertaining, whilst productive planting, mature trees and peaceful seating areas allow the gardens to evolve with the seasons.
The agricultural section has been intentionally positioned away from the house, creating a destination within the grounds, whilst the ornamental gardens flow effortlessly from the living spaces. A pond, waterfall and gently flowing stream attract an abundance of wildlife, creating a peaceful soundtrack throughout the day. Sitting beside the water and looking out across the Wye Valley is a moment the current owners describe as feeling "more like being on holiday than at home."
