Set high above the River Wye, this Edwardian detached house blends period character with modern living across approximately 3 acres (to be verified). The house offers panoramic river views from glazed galleries and balconies, a double-aspect sitting room with log-burner, and a bespoke hand-built kitchen with an oil-fired Aga — ideal for families who value space, light and outdoor life.
Accommodation is arranged over two principal levels with four double bedrooms (two en-suite), a library with spiral staircase and mezzanine storage, and a full-width open-plan living gallery that opens onto decking and terraces. Grounds include formal gardens, an orchard, woodland down to the riverbank, a large oak-framed garden building with sauna and kitchenette, plus a detached workshop and gated driveway with parking.
Practical points to note: the property uses oil-fired central heating and private drainage, and is timber-framed with assumed limited original insulation. Solar panels currently deliver a modest income of about £800 per year. The plot size and boundaries are vendor-indicated and should be confirmed during conveyancing. Council Tax sits at Band G, reflecting the property’s overall running costs.
This is a strong opportunity for buyers seeking a character-filled family home in the Wye Valley AONB who prioritize river access, outdoor pursuits and flexible outbuildings. Some energy and services upgrades would add long-term comfort and reduce running costs, while the house’s scale and versatile outbuildings offer potential for leisure, guest accommodation or home-working conversion (subject to consents).
