Chepstow Lodge is a three-bedroom detached country house set within the gated Highnam Court estate, occupying more than half an acre of garden and grounds. The property blends mid-1800s period features — high ceilings, large windows and a fireplace — with recent renovation work, delivering a comfortable home for family life. A large kitchen/breakfast room, separate study and a versatile garden room/studio increase usable space and flexibility.
Practical positives include private off-street parking, a garage-style workshop, mains water and a private treatment plant for drainage. The sellers have already sought pre-application advice from the local authority about a proposed extension; the principle appears acceptable subject to detailed plans, offering further scope to enlarge the house.
Important considerations are stated plainly: the house uses LPG and electric storage heating rather than mains gas, and walls are original solid brick (assumed to lack modern cavity insulation). There is a medium flood risk for the area and the home currently has a single main bathroom and a separate shower room, which may be limiting for some buyers.
This is a strong option for buyers seeking character and space in an affluent village location. The recent refurbishment reduces immediate maintenance, but buyers looking for high-efficiency heating or full wall insulation should allow budget for upgrades. For a family wanting generous outdoor space and scope to extend, Chepstow Lodge presents clear potential.
