There are country houses, and then there are houses that become part of your family's story.  Stoulgrove House is very much in the latter category. Dating back to around 1790, this exceptional Georgian residence has been meticulously restored and thoughtfully extended to create more than 6,000 sq ft of accommodation, combining the elegance and proportions of its period architecture with the technology, comfort and entertaining spaces expected of a modern country home. What makes Stoulgrove particularly special, however, is the combination of scale, privacy, setting and accessibility. Approached along a quiet country lane and through secure electric gates, the house feels wonderfully secluded, yet you are only around two miles from the historic town of Chepstow. The house occupies an elevated position with wonderful views towards the River Severn, while the approximately six acres provide an extraordinary amount of private outdoor space. There are formal garden rooms, sweeping lawns, mature trees, an orchard, parterre, rose arches, courtyards, a rockery, pond and waterfall, together with paddocks and woodland. For a family, this is far more than simply owning a large house. It is the opportunity to give children the freedom to grow up surrounded by nature, with space to play, explore and entertain friends, while parents can enjoy the privacy, beauty and tranquillity that are increasingly difficult to find within easy reach of major cities. Stoulgrove House combines the character of a property originally dating from circa 1790 with the benefits of a comprehensive reconstruction and renovation, with the property virtually rebuilt in 2010 and subsequently undergoing a complete renovation in 2019. The property is set within approximately six acres of land, approached via a private lane and electric gates, with extensive security and technology including CCTV, a fully integrated alarm system, programmable lighting, Cat 6 data cabling and a built-in Sonos surround-sound system. Further practical features include two sets of electric gates, two electric garage doors, a sprinkler system and a private three-phase electricity supply. Heating is provided by an air-source heat pump, while the roof has been completely replaced and the electrical installation was renewed in 2010. The property also benefits from mains electricity and water, a private sewerage treatment plant and Sky and terrestrial television provision. Inside, Stoulgrove has an impressive sense of arrival. The magnificent reception hall forms the centrepiece of the house, with its sweeping staircase, statement chandelier and full-height windows overlooking the gardens. The formal drawing room opens through French doors onto the gardens. In contrast, the elegant dining room, with oak parquet flooring and an orangery-style glass roof, provides an exceptional setting for formal entertaining. The bespoke kitchen is equally impressive, incorporating a four-oven Aga, Gaggenau and Siemens appliances, granite worktops and wonderful views across the surrounding countryside. The accommodation has been designed to work equally well for everyday family life and large-scale entertaining. There is a generous utility room, games room, beautifully appointed cloakroom and a refined study with period fireplace. Then there is the cinema room – one of those features that immediately sets Stoulgrove apart. With Bang & Olufsen surround sound and a Sim2 Grand Cinema projector, it provides an exceptional space for family film nights, sporting events or simply retreating from the main house. Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is a genuine sanctuary, complete with a period Chesney fireplace, Neville Johnson dressing room, luxurious wet room, freestanding claw-foot bath and private balcony overlooking the countryside. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom are complemented by a self-contained top-floor suite incorporating two additional bedrooms and an en-suite, making the house particularly versatile for older children, extended family, guests or live-in accommodation. The gardens are arguably one of Stoulgrove's greatest assets. Rather than simply being an expanse of lawn, the grounds have been cleverly designed as a series of interconnected outdoor rooms, each with its own character and purpose. There is a formal parterre, secluded courtyards, gravel gardens, a rockery, mature specimen trees, an orchard, rose arches, sweeping lawns and colourful herbaceous borders, together with a tranquil pond fed by a waterfall. It is a garden designed to be lived in. Breakfast can be enjoyed outside in the morning sunshine, children can play across the lawns and paddocks, guests can gather for summer entertaining, while the more secluded corners provide somewhere to sit quietly and enjoy the wildlife and changing seasons. The double-storey garage, with excellent office space, is topped by its distinctive Hawkins clock tower, adding another wonderfully individual element, while the Rhino greenhouse and extensive outdoor stores will appeal particularly to those with a passion for gardening and country life. A parcel of land allocated for potential development within the Local Development Plan, subject to the necessary planning consents. Https://w3w.co/failed.slate.skillet Seller Insight - When we first saw Stoulgrove House, we instantly fell in love with it. Its Georgian proportions, understated elegance and stunning position with open views towards the River Severn. In the major renovation we undertook in 2010 we sought to re-introduce many of the lost Georgian elements and blend classic beauty with modern comforts.

Future proofing was at the forefront of everything we installed, an energy conscious infrastructure that includes handmade bespoke double glazed sash windows/shutters, a programmable lighting system, Sonos Music system throughout and comprehensive CCTV/alarm/sprinkler systems. Stoulgrove is a house made for memories- a very special place the owners continue. From our daughter's wedding reception to parties with friends flowing from the grand hallway to the garden - this is a home that welcomes celebration. The basement cinema room is a hidden gem, cool in summer and cosy in winter. Within the stunning six-acre grounds, we have carefully designed the walled garden to feel like a series of outdoor rooms', with rose arches, a parterre, herbaceous borders, and open lawns that look out across the Severn.

We have loved being part of this beautiful corner of Gloucestershire.

W3W: winemaker.undivided.adopt Vendor Insight - I was immediately captivated by The Rowans and its charming exterior and knew it was to be the family home I had been searching for. It was also an exciting renovation project and within commuting distance from Bristol for work. The house and the two bed annexe were in need of some care and attention and I have sympathetically upgraded them throughout. Work included plastering all rooms, rewiring, relaying floors, modernising the kitchen and bathroom and opening two original, bricked up, fireplaces. The real developments were the conversion of the small adjoining barn into the dining room, a fabulous sunroom and the creation of a massive, waterproofed and heated basement room. I love all the rooms, but am very proud of the stunning, curved, oak framed sunroom; that is always flooded with light and has pretty views to the garden: it is the ideal spot to settle and relax with a cup of tea or a glass of wine. The kitchen is where we spend most of our time and perfect for the passionate cook but also the place for family kitchen meals, plus the welcoming snug corner with a large sofa and wood burner for times when you want to relax with a coffee. Upstairs two bedrooms have large dormer windows where you look across the countryside to the Malverns and May Hill. Each room has a delightful mix of warmth, comfort and sophistication. The Rowans is a hospitable home where our guests can appreciate the elegance of the dining room, the warm and cosy sitting room with its huge fireplace and intriguing, original window that looks through to the kitchen; whilst the basement is the perfect games and party room. There have been many happy events when friends and family gathered in the house and garden. The wildlife garden is a glorious celebration of nature, with a twenty-eight tree orchard, and mature, colourful borders. It is a haven for wildlife with sightings of hedgehogs, rabbits, woodpeckers, jays and buzzards. In the back garden there are the remains of a Roman-era forge and well, hinting at the site's ancient past. Separately, in the front garden a charming wisteria-covered walkway welcomes you, and in summer becomes a magical tunnel, the perfect setting for alfresco meals. The garden really has become an outside living room, enjoyed many summers as a haven of peace and natural beauty. We are so lucky to be just a few minutes' walk to the local garage and grocery store, or to the Severn and Wye Smokery with its food hall, coffee shop, restaurant and fishmonger. Westbury on Severn and Newnham on Severn are very short drives, and Gloucester is just over eight miles away, surrounded by the beautiful Severn Valley and Malvern Hills. The house has given me twenty-one happy years but is now too big and the time has come to downsize. The Rowans can now welcome another family to take over and look after it for the next twenty years.
