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.

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.

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.
