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 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

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.

In contrast, the elegant dining room, with oak parquet flooring and an orangery-style glass roof, provides an exceptional setting for formal entertaining.

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.
