Set within the Wye Valley, this substantial six-bedroom detached home totals over 3,300 sq ft and sits in meticulously landscaped grounds of about 5.1 acres. The property’s standout feature is a 1.7 acre estate-style lake and a well-stocked fishery with more than forty varieties of ornamental waterlily, framed by 100 acres of neighbouring nature reserve and far-reaching views to Bredwardine Hill. The farmhouse-style house benefits from a south-facing aspect, a double garage and a large workshop (approx. 13m x 10m).
The house offers flexible family accommodation across multiple storeys with two en-suite bedrooms, a large sitting room with wood-burning stove, conservatory, kitchen with island and pantry, and a separate family room. Practical modern comforts include FTTP broadband, replacement double-glazed UPVC windows (installed in August 2025) and oil-fired central heating. There is parking, patio space, a sheltered rear garden and a small fenced paddock.
Buyers should note important practical issues: the property is recorded as having a high flood risk and drainage is to a private treatment system. The estate-style lake is managed and comes with an otter fence and guest parking, but maintaining the grounds, lake and fishery will require ongoing care and specialist knowledge. The house may be suitable for subdivision to create an annexe, subject to planning approval.
This home will suit buyers seeking a private country lifestyle with strong outdoor and leisure appeal — particularly anglers and those wanting extensive grounds and biodiversity on their doorstep. It also offers scope for multi-generational living or potential rental/income uses, but purchasers should factor in flood risk, rural services and maintenance responsibilities when deciding to view.
