Step Outside Alongside the main house, three sides of the courtyard are occupied by outbuildings that include 10 former stables, along with storerooms, lofts and a cottage that’s primed for renovation. These buildings provide a reminder of the role once played by the property and the available space offers exceptional versatility for the future. Coach House was once the operational heart of the Itton Court estate, housing carriages, stables and staff that supported the daily life of the owners. Coach House is surrounded by 4.5 acres of beautiful grounds bounded by hedging and mature trees that contribute to a sense of peace and privacy. There are beautiful views of the Monmouthshire countryside and, more immediately, Itton’s historic St Deiniol’s Church. Immediately behind the kitchen is a large terrace that’s tailormade for entertaining. Steps lead from here to a lawned area. Many of the walls support mature climbing shrubs, allowing the property to blend perfectly with what lies outside. A wisteria cladding the wall around the main doorway is especially impressive. The courtyard area is laid to gravel and provides plenty of off-road parking. Seller Insight When we first pulled up at the Coach House, we knew immediately it was unlike anything else we had seen. We had been searching in the area for a couple of years, but this place stood out straight away – unique in appearance, full of character, and despite its impressive size, it had a real warmth to it. It felt spacious and grand, yet still wonderfully cosy. As the former coach house to Itton Court Manor, this is a home with history, presence and an atmosphere that is hard to describe until you experience it. Approaching through the archway, you arrive into the most incredible enclosed courtyard. It is completely private, with the house set back, and there is space for 15–20 cars with ease. It gives you that rare sense of arriving somewhere special, a hidden world of your own. Inside, the kitchen has always been the heart of our home – a proper family kitchen with plenty of room to eat together, gather, and chat. The layout lends itself perfectly to entertaining, with the main reception rooms flowing straight out onto the garden. In summer, the wraparound patio becomes the centre of everything, running from the front of the house where the kitchen is right round to the games room, elevated above cricket-pitch sized lawns where friends and family can spread out and relax. Sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking here, especially at the bottom of the garden where the giant redwoods glow deep red in the summer light. The wildlife is exceptional too – you really feel the seasons change. Best of all, there is no road noise at all – just birdsong and space. While the setting is beautifully rural and peaceful, you are just eight minutes from the motorway, making commuting to London for work straightforward, with Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds also within surprisingly easy reach. For leisure time, there is so much happening on the doorstep, from music festivals and theatre to the ever-popular Chepstow Racecourse just a few miles away, hosting events throughout the year. We really do have the best of both worlds here.*

Sitting just above the village, the house enjoys wide views across the Mendips, a strong sense of privacy and a wonderfully calm, elevated outlook. The current owner has lived at The Cedars for thirty-one years, drawn initially by the light-filled rooms, generous bay windows, elegant proportions and the seclusion created by the gardens. Over the years, the house has been carefully and sympathetically enhanced, always with respect for its Georgian heritage. Improvements include reroofing, the addition of a substantial conservatory to one side of the house, and the creation of two guest bathrooms to the other. Throughout, the emphasis has been on preserving character while ensuring the house works effortlessly for modern family life and entertaining. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is designed for easy, everyday living and has long been the setting for relaxed, chatty family meals. In contrast, the formal dining room, with its strong Georgian presence, comfortably seats fourteen and has hosted countless memorable occasions.

Sellers Insight Little Caerlicken has been part of my life since my childhood. My parents bought it when I was twelve, and eleven years ago I took the house on myself and carried out a complete renovation.” “The area is rich in history, with several ancient fortresses nearby, the name Caerlicken itself means “the fortress of Licken”.” “I could always see the potential in this house. Built in 1565, it is a rare Elizabethan long house. While its history and character are extraordinary, what truly makes it special is the location. Overlooking the Severn Valley, the views are simply breath taking. On a clear day we can see across to Bristol, Clevedon, Westonsuper- Mare and even as far as the Devon coast. You can see for miles, and it never stops feeling special.” “When we moved in, we completely renovated the house, taking it right back to the earth and rebuilding from the bottom up. It is now a 500-year-old home with all the comforts of modern living. We also converted the barn into a self-contained annex.” “As you drive down the lane towards the house, the view opens up in a way that truly takes your breath away.” “My favourite room in the house is the dining room and conservatory which was part of the extension - it has bi-fold doors that open onto the garden. In the summer, when the doors are open, it feels as though you are dining outside. We love sitting there, watching ships come in from the Bristol Channel and looking out across the landscape for miles.” “My wife is a flower farmer and the garden is something very special. There is an orchard with apple, cherry, damson and mulberry trees. Wildlife is everywhere with many birds visiting, including some unusual ones. We even have woodpeckers, yellowhammers and an owl, which feels truly magical. Being on a hillside also means birds of prey often circle above. The garden is part of the National Garden Scheme, and we have opened it to the public before, raising money for charity - something we are very proud of.” “This home is made for entertaining. We have held Notley Fest here for my wife’s 40th and in the years since. My daughter was married here too, with a huge marquee - many guests said they thought it was a wedding venue, but it is simply our home.” “We have wonderful neighbours, always ready to help one another. My wife is part of several ladies’ groups - walking, book and dinner club and there is always something happening, especially at the village hall.” “What I will miss most is everything: the garden, the space, the privacy and the tranquillity. This has been a very special home to us. You can see so much from here, yet hear almost nothing. It is a very special place.” https://w3w.co/builds.encloses.tickling

This handsome, modernised and extended period farmhouse enjoys a glorious, elevated situation, commanding stunning 180 degree views of the picturesque scenery of the Wye Valley 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'. 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
