We rented whilst we searched until, one day, we were introduced to The Old Vicarage. It had not yet come onto the property market so could only view from the outside. However, even before crossings its threshold, we instinctively knew this would be our perfect home – and it has proven to be exactly that.” “Our house offers an exceptional sense of space, paired with a natural elegance throughout. High ceilings, large windows and beautifully proportioned rooms create a light and welcoming atmosphere, whilst its timeless character allowed our furniture to blend seamlessly into our home. The generous and highly practical accommodation has perfectly suited our family life, whilst also offering ample space for entertaining friends and family.

Outside, the beautifully arranged spaces for dining and relaxation make the most of the stunning setting and have been endlessly enjoyed” “Within the grounds sits an old coach house, which we have thoughtfully and imaginatively converted into a peaceful, stylish, retreat and here Olivia has created an independent studio and holistic centre – a wonderfully tranquil and versatile addition to the property.” “Despite its idyllic seclusion, everything needed for modern life is within easy reach. Wonderful walks begin directly from the doorstep, and the surrounding area is ideal for numerous outdoor interests; equestrian pursuits being very popular. The village hall offers a pre-school for under five year olds and also hosts community events. The delightful town of Abergavenny, famous for its annual food festival, is close by, as is historic Monmouth, while excellent transport connections provide convenient access further afield.” “This has been a deeply happy home, filled with treasured memories, but the time has come for our next adventure.

I can be in Usk, Hereford or exploring the Wye Valley with ease, yet when I am home it feels wonderfully private, calm and secure, with no immediate neighbours and a real sense of seclusion.

After commissioning a full survey, I systematically completed all recommended works: a new roof with added insulation, double-glazed windows throughout, full rewiring and replumbing, a new heating system with the oil tank relocated to a safer position, solar panels, and fully relevelled floors. The result is a warm, efficient bungalow that has been comprehensively modernised. In addition, the garage has been sympathetically rebuilt to match the house, with new windows, its own entrance, and plumbing already in place, making it ideal for conversion to an annex, Airbnb, or multi-generational living.

The kitchen diner is always a favourite with guests, filled with morning sunshine and perfect for family life or entertaining. The land is a huge advantage, with barns and stables and no agricultural tie, allowing complete flexibility of use. I have landscaped and securely fenced the garden, making it ideal for dogs, and improved the land with new fencing and additional trees. The large driveway offers plenty of parking, while the barn and stable offer great potential and flexibility for a multitude of uses. With so much land and set down a private drive at the top of the hill, Bryn Cwrt offers space, freedom and tranquillity – all while remaining effortlessly connected to real life. ///diplomas.transmit.extensive

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

Highbury House is an exceptional Grade II listed Georgian residence, believed to have been built originally for a mining manager, and occupies an elevated position overlooking the surrounding countryside. Rich in history, colour and architectural character, it combines the grandeur and proportions of a period country house with the comfort and practicality required for modern family life. A particularly important feature of the property is the established holiday letting business operated from the handsome Victorian Coach House. Providing four individual two-bedroom holiday apartments, the Coach House represents a genuine income-producing opportunity alongside the main residence. Each apartment has been thoughtfully designed and presented with its own identity and character, meaning that they do not feel like standardised holiday accommodation. Each offers guests a distinctive experience, while all benefit from the attractive setting and striking views across the valley, open countryside and towards the Forest of Dean. The business currently enjoys occupancy of around 80%, comfortably covering its running costs and delivering a healthy profit with relatively little input. For prospective purchasers, this offers the unusual opportunity to acquire a substantial country house together with an established, up-and-running holiday business which can contribute significantly towards the cost of running the property. The Main House - A grand entrance hall immediately establishes the character of Highbury House, with generous proportions and a wealth of original Georgian detailing. The rear hallway leads to an impressive, recently upgraded kitchen, where a striking skylight floods the room with natural light. A large central island provides seating for four, while extensive storage and a comprehensive range of integral appliances make this a superb space for both family life and entertaining.

It provides considerable flexibility, whether for visiting family and friends, multi-generational living, staff accommodation or continued rental use, subject to any necessary consents. Highbury Coach House - Four Individual Two-Bedroom Holiday Apartments: The Coach House is, in my view, one of the property's most compelling features and an aspect of the marketing that I believe deserves much greater prominence. This handsome Victorian, stone-fronted, two-storey building has been thoughtfully converted to provide four individual two-bedroom holiday apartments, each beautifully presented and deliberately different in style. Each apartment has its own name, personality and identity, creating four separate holiday experiences rather than a collection of uniform rental units. They have been successfully operated as an established holiday letting business and currently achieve occupancy of around 80%. The apartments benefit from the wonderful setting of Highbury House, with far-reaching valley and countryside views, attractive gardens and excellent access to the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley.

The apartment was fully refurbished in 2021, including the two bedrooms and bathroom, and has been exceptionally well maintained. An outdoor terrace provides superb views across the gardens and fields beyond. The Stables - Accessed via stone steps to the first floor, The Stables was refurbished in 2021 and offers stylish open-plan accommodation. The main kitchen, dining and sitting space features a vaulted ceiling, creating a wonderful sense of volume, space and natural light. There are two double bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The Carriage - Situated on the first floor, The Carriage was refurbished in 2022 and features a fitted kitchen with breakfast bar, which divides the kitchen from the open-plan dining and sitting area. The accommodation includes two double bedrooms and a separate shower room. Together, the four apartments provide an attractive and established holiday letting business with a proven trading history. Their individuality, quality of presentation, excellent location and striking valley views are important elements of their appeal. Gardens and Grounds - Highbury House is approached through a walled entrance with stone pillars, opening into a generous parking area providing ample space for both the owners and holiday guests. The gardens extend to over half an acre and have been beautifully landscaped and terraced using natural stone. A series of seating areas, ponds, mature trees, established shrubs and lawns create a wonderful succession of spaces, with both sunny and shaded areas to enjoy throughout the day. Behind the Coach House is a generous sitting and dining area, while winding paths lead through the gardens to two ponds and a large lawn. The gardens then rise towards the more formal areas in front of the house. The property's elevated position is a defining feature. Bordered by open fields and woodland, the gardens enjoy far-reaching views across the valley and towards the Forest of Dean, with the Dean Forest Railway steam train occasionally providing an especially charming backdrop. The Location - Highbury House sits just outside Lydney, close to the heart of this historic riverside market town on the edge of the Forest of Dean. Local shops, services and amenities are within walking distance, while Lydney railway station is less than two miles away, providing useful connections for both residents and holiday guests. The surrounding area offers an outstanding range of attractions, including the Forest of Dean, Wye Valley National Landscape, Lydney Park and its Roman remains, the Dean Forest Railway and numerous walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits. The wider region, including the Cotswolds and Severn Vale, is also readily accessible.  A Home and a Business - Highbury House is an unusually versatile proposition. It combines a substantial and characterful Grade II listed Georgian home, a separate self-contained apartment and an established holiday letting business within the Coach House. For the current owners, the combination has provided both a wonderful home and an effective source of income. The four holiday apartments have an established trading history, strong occupancy and their own distinct identities, all enhanced by their superb valley views and attractive setting. For a new owner, Highbury House therefore offers the opportunity to acquire not simply an impressive country residence, but an established income-producing hospitality business, all within an exceptionally attractive part of the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley.   Storyline.carbonate.elder Vendor Interview - We were attracted to Highbury House as an imposing building in a beautiful setting, perched on a hill with wonderful valley and forest views, say the owners of this Grade II listed home. We were also looking for a way to generate income, and taking on a profitable, up-and-running holiday letting business alongside the house made total sense Highbury House not only has a great layout with plenty of space for day-to-day living and entertaining, they explain, it also includes a self-contained one-bedroom apartment with an en-suite, kitchen and living space. The Coach House offers a further four two-bedroom apartments. Current occupancy sits at around 80 per cent, comfortably covering running costs and delivering a healthy profit with very little input. Since moving in five years ago, the owners have undertaken a series of thoughtful upgrades to the main house. We fully upgraded the kitchen and added a fantastic skylight, they say. It now has a large island with seating for four and generous storage. The family bathroom and Jack-and-Jill bathrooms have also been completely refurbished, all with underfloor heating. While the house can feel grand, it is equally grounded in everyday comfort. You might expect our favourite moments to be those evenings spent relaxing in the drawing room, feeling a bit like Lord and Lady of the manor, they admit, but it's actually our first cup of tea in the morning room that we love most. From the picture windows, birds and woodpeckers gather as the forest beyond shifts with the seasons. Throughout, generous proportions define the house: a dining room that seats fourteen, original fireplaces and shutters, and a sweeping entrance hall, all combining to create a home that feels both stately and welcoming.
