Its wealth of historic features include exposed beams and open fireplaces, formal Georgian rooms with high ceilings, decorative cornicing and period fireplaces and Victorian features including cast iron fire grates and built-in cupboards. It is a generously proportioned house, but to me, it doesn't feel grand, it feels homely. It is lovely at all times of the year. In the summer it has a beautiful quiet coolness about it. In the winter, with the log burners going, it is brilliant for lying on the sofa with the dogs and watching TV. And it really comes into its own when you are having parties. It has a lovely flow and because of the great room sizes, you have to have a lot of people in the house before it feels even slightly full! What I also love about it is the land and my favourite view is looking back at the house from the fields. The house is approached along a circular carriage driveway. The attractive facade is almost symmetrical, with large sash windows, French doors onto the garden from the Victorian wing and a central entrance door with a canopied porch and a decorative fanlight over.

Situated in the oldest part of the house is an atmospheric dining room, with flagstone flooring, an exposed stone wall and original beams. A corner fireplace, with a timber mantel, houses a wood burner. A wide, period ledge and brace door opens to the kitchen. There are lots of quirky, historic features in this house, like this doorway, which is supposed to be wide enough for cider barrels to be rolled through it. The kitchen has flagstone flooring and solid wood units with granite work surfaces. There's a halogen hob, a Bosch double oven and a Rayburn set into an alcove. A window over the kitchen sink looks out over a terrace and herb garden to the paddocks beyond. There is a utility room adjacent to the kitchen.

There's a ground floor bedroom and a charming loft bedroom with exposed oak beams. Both bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and there is a large open plan living space, comprising kitchen, breakfast area and sitting room. Outside there is a parking area for two cars and a lawned garden. The grounds also include a stable block with five stables, a level area of land previously used for a manège and three well-fenced fields, currently used for keeping sheep but ideal as horse paddocks. There could be scope to further develop the tourism business, subject to planning, with the amount of land providing, for example, the opportunity for holiday yurts.

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

DIRECTIONS W3W concluded.reflector.slug Sellers Insight When we first came to Little Cwm, it was the sense of peace and history that completely won us over,’ say the owners. ‘It feels like its own little estate, tucked away down a quiet lane, yet still connected to a friendly local community.’ ‘We’ve always loved the character of the house,’ they explain. ‘It’s built from stone with a traditional tiled roof, and we made sure any additions, like the oak windows and doors, respected that heritage.’ More recently, they have embraced greener living with photovoltaic panels, an air-source heat pump and an Everhot stove. ‘Little Cwm is warm and cosy, with low running costs – even the electric car is charged on sunshine.’ There are three main bedrooms, plus an annexe room and a separate flat above the garages, which has worked well as a holiday let, but offers great versatility when family visit.’ The gardens and surrounding fields are essential to the character of the property. ’We are proud of our garden,’ they say. ‘It’s mature, and includes ten varieties of magnolia, as well as a productive vineyard, orchard and vegetable garden.’ Beyond this, five acres of pasture, enough to support two or three ponies, and woodland stretch out from the house, with the Dulas Brook running along the south-west boundary. ‘It’s a haven for wildlife – we regularly see kingfishers, dippers and even otters on the stream.’ For the owners, daily life here has been defined by the surroundings. ‘We love sitting in the kitchen in the winter, with the sun streaming in, or out in the courtyard in summer, surrounded by birdsong,’ they say. ‘There’s always something to enjoy, whether it’s the changing seasons or the sheer abundance of wildlife.’ We’ll miss the peace and quiet most of all,’ they reflect. ‘And the walks, the views and the simple pleasure of living so close to nature.’*

Situated on the edge of Haywood Forest, the original dwelling was designed as a picturesque gamekeeper's cottage around 1800 for the old Belmont House estate. Its architect, known to have designed other buildings for the estate, is believed to have been John Nash, whose most famous Georgian buildings are the Blaise Hamlet near Bristol, Regent Street and ultimately Buckingham Palace in London. That original cottage was first extended in the late twentieth century and more extensively in the early 2000's. However, the current owners are responsible for the complete remodelling and decoration of the exquisite interiors and the addition of a handsome, secluded home office with gym and sauna, set within the immediate grounds. As you enter the main property, you are greeted by a welcoming and spacious hallway, with staircase to the first floor, a cloakroom with W.C and wash basin and a home office with desk and storage space. Turning left off the entrance hall is a generous and beautifully presented drawing room, with windows to front and rear aspect allowing light to fill the room. There is an inset woodburning stove, French doors leading out to the rear patio and a lovely view over fields to the rear.
