LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION Coombe Lodge occupies a superb hillside position some four miles south of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye and some seven miles north-east of the historic town of Monmouth. Constructed some forty years ago to a completely individual design, the house is constructed primarily on three levels, cleverly utilising the sloping nature of the site to gain maximum impact from the stunning, south-westerly and south-easterly views across the gorgeous Wye Valley. There is an outstanding 23 principal reception room with beautiful, natural stone fireplace wall and wood burner, and a full width window and balcony adjacent, enabling a sensational outlook. Moreover, the ingenuity of the design brings the same views to almost all the principal rooms. There is extensive use of natural materials, and all the main rooms are generously proportioned. Externally, there is an expansive driveway/forecourt, extra large garage, heated covered swimming pool, studio and greenhouse. Recent landscaping has also created a wonderful circular sun terrace and/or yurt base.
