Detached house for sale in Lydney GL15, 5 Bedroom

Gumbersland Barn is situated in a breathtaking position overlooking the lower River Wye Valley, in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the borders of Monmouthshire and Gloucestershire. Monmouth to the north has an excellent selection of shops and services including a Waitrose and Marks and Spencer, as well as the highly respected Haberdashers schools for girls and boys. Chepstow to the south also has a good range of facilities, whilst local shops and post offices are in St Briavels, Llandogo and Redbrook. The area is sought after due to its excellent road communications. The M48/M4 gives fast access to the major centres of Bristol and South Wales, and the A40/M50 to the Midlands and the North. Chepstow and Lydney have rail stations whilst Bristol Parkway is a convenient drive. Recreational opportunities include fishing and water activities on the nearby River Wye; racing at Chepstow; golf at St Pierre and Celtic Manor; and glorious walks and rides through the surrounding countryside.

Gumbersland Barn is a delightful conversion in an idyllic position above the River Wye in an area of outstanding natural beauty (aonb). Approached down a long drive, the Grade II listed barn was converted in 2005 to create a glorious family home. It is full of character and interesting features such as exposed stonework and timbers, yet combined with modern necessities such as underfloor heating throughout and geo-thermal ground source heating. Dominating the ground floor is a fabulous open plan kitchen, dining room, and sitting area, the latter divided by a fireplace with central log burner. The kitchen has a slate floor and a range of kitchen units beneath polished granite work surfaces, an inset lpg and electric fired stove and central island with hardwood work surface. The dining and sitting areas are delightful rooms, whilst stairs lead down to a sun room and the utility room. Beyond the sitting area is a large family room and two ground floor bedrooms/office which can either be part of the family accommodation or let out on Airbnb, as is currently the case. Stairs lead up to a mezzanine seating area and galleried landing then on to the 3 bedrooms and a bathroom, the two larger bedrooms having en suite showers and a multitude of cupboards and storage space.

The gardens have two distinct areas; to the rear are the private gardens which are south facing with lawns, gravel pathways, raised vegetable beds, kennels and an enclosed area with a raised hot tub. Behind here are storage and implement sheds and the gymnasium. The entrance front has extensive gravelled parking areas, lavender beds and laurel hedges flanking the large front lawn and novice orchard. A large 7 acre paddock runs up to the far boundary. The old Offa's Dyke footpath runs to the side of the property yet is well screened. In recent times walkers have been directed from Bigsweir Bridge, well away from the property, and on through the woods.
