Summary - MORAY HOUSE BOTANY BAY CHEPSTOW NP16 6NJ
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Period charm with large gardens and scope for expansion.
Approximately 0.96 acres of landscaped gardens and grounds
Set in the heart of the Wye Valley near Tintern Abbey, this detached Victorian stone cottage occupies about 0.96 acres of landscaped grounds and offers expansive rural views. The house feels characterful and cosy: a lounge with a wood burner, a versatile second reception room, and an open-plan kitchen/dining area with French doors to an east-facing patio. A detached garage and long driveway provide ample parking.
The ground floor layout suits family life and entertaining, with a practical utility room and a modern shower room. Upstairs are three double bedrooms that overlook the grounds and a family bathroom described as high quality. Modern comforts include double glazing (install date unknown), LPG central heating and recent private drainage installation, while broadband is reported fast.
Buyers should note the property’s period construction (c.1900–1929) and stone walls that are assumed to have no insulation; further thermal upgrading may be needed. Heating relies on LPG, not a mains gas network. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and the property sits in a very deprived wider area classification despite very low local crime.
There is genuine scope to adapt or extend the dwelling (potential for expansion, subject to planning permission). For someone seeking a rural family home with character, large gardens and development potential, this cottage offers an attractive, flexible package close to Tintern’s amenities and country pursuits.
