Summary - Merryhall, Newbridge-on-Wye LD1 6HA
Riverside setting with direct access to the River Wye
A rare riverside period cottage dating from before 1750, set in about two acres of formal garden, orchard and paddocks with direct River Wye access. The house retains abundant character: exposed beams, stone walls, multiple fireplaces and flexible reception spaces including a sun room and a 16 x 15 ft principal reception.
The flexible layout provides four bedrooms across two wings, three bathrooms and multiple reception rooms which suit family life, home working or holiday let use. Practical outbuildings include a double barn with power, garage, sheds, greenhouse, heated kennel and ample gravel parking with turning space.
Notable practical points: the property is heated by an LPG boiler and uses bottled fuel rather than mains gas; the original granite walls are assumed uninsulated and glazing was installed before 2002, so energy performance will be modest. Broadband speeds are slow in this remoter location and council tax is described as quite expensive. Maintenance and running costs should be factored in, though the house offers strong potential for sympathetic upgrading and insulation works to improve comfort and running costs.
For buyers seeking riverside character and space — a family wanting land, an equine or smallholding interest, or someone seeking a rural retreat — this property offers immediate charm and scope for improvement. Its setting close to the village centre (under a quarter mile) combines isolation with convenience for local amenities.
