The substantial six-bedroom residence is set above a quiet country road in the friendly but spread-out community of Hewelsfield, in the Forest of Dean. Once at the heart of a cider farm, the handsome 200-year-old property sits in lovely, established gardens at the end of a long drive, with its group of majestic Scots Pines providing a local landmark. True to its heritage, its 4.8 Acres of grounds include a productive orchard which keeps the vendor well-supplied with apples for cider, apple juice and apple cake! The Wye Valley's spectacular scenery and wonderful natural environment have inspired generations of artists and creatives, including the vendor, drawn to this particular property some 20 years ago by its pastoral surroundings and abundance of light. My husband and I were both painters. I was captured by the Scots Pines and the view. My husband was looking for light from the north and whilst this house is south-facing, he was able to set up a studio in the large, back, north-facing bedroom. The vendor says the gardens and grounds have also been a joy. She has enjoyed creating and tending her vegetable plot and planning and maintaining the wonderful formal gardens. The property has provided an idyllic country lifestyle, surrounded by an abundance of wildlife and wonderful walks, including the long distance Wye Valley Walk and Offas Dyke National Trail. You are in the heart of nature. There is an incredible sense of quiet and no light pollution. The house is approached along a long gravel driveway, lined with heather and mature shrubs and leading to ample parking. The driveway leads past a lovely area of level lawn, with established borders and an original sundial as a focal point. The attractive formal gardens near the house have been planned for seasonal colour and include large beds retained by natural stone walling. Established trees, shrubs and climbers include hydrangeas, magnolias and wisteria. Behind the house is the orchard - a gently sloping are with mixed fruit trees, leading to bluebell woodland at the top. There is a kitchen garden with a soft fruit area and a small lily pond. A feature of the gardens is a group of towering Scots Pines, which the vendor believes would have been planted as a deliberate landmark. There is a patio used by the annexe, whilst accessed from the kitchen of the main property there is a raised, paved patio. Both take advantage of the breathtaking views and the wonderful natural surroundings. The gardens are south facing and because it is so high up, in the mornings you can sometimes see a layer of cloud over the village and watch it rise up it is captivating. The sun rises and sunsets are also amazing. The grounds extend to about 4.8 acres and included the field across the lane to the front aspect. What3words: ///intend.surveyors.physics

DIRECTIONS W3W twee.handfuls.meals Sellers Insight When we first discovered The Residence in Kenchester, we were instantly drawn to its history and unmistakable Georgian proportions. As someone with an architectural background, I could see the potential immediately: the scale, the symmetry, the light, and those wonderfully tall ceilings that my 6’6” husband fell in love with on the spot. It was clear the house had been neglected, but the bones were magnificent – it simply needed careful, sympathetic restoration to reveal what had always been there. Over the years, we have completely renovated the property from top to bottom, restoring original shutters, window boxes, and period detailing, while introducing modern comforts that make it an exceptional family home. The layout now works beautifully, with the main house flowing into distinct, private areas: a guest suite, a separate master level, and a transformed children’s wing that now feels like its own bright, open living space rather than a series of dormitory rooms. We’ve also added thoughtful practicalities such as a powder room, butler’s pantry, and scullery. At the heart of the home is the stunning kitchen, complete with a huge island and even a champagne sink – designed for entertaining on any scale. And entertain we have: from marquee garden parties for 100 guests, to village gatherings, christenings, and unforgettable birthdays, including a Swan Lake performance in the drawing room beside our baby grand piano. Outside, the gardens are truly special – established with rare and colourful specimens, with hidden pathways, quiet corners, and an orchard of plum, pear and apple trees, plus a magnificent walnut. Two generous driveways provide ample parking, and the terrace offers a front-row seat to the spectacle of parachutists - drifting down from the nearby army base Stirling Lines. Kenchester itself is a rare joy: a friendly hamlet centred around the church, with neighbours taking turns to host drinks and dinners, and a wonderful new French restaurant nearby. With a school bus collecting children for Hereford Cathedral School and superfast broadband throughout, The Residence offers historic charm, modern ease, and an extraordinary sense of community.
