Situation Hudnalls House is situated in a breath-taking position overlooking the Lower River Wye Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), on the borders of Monmouthshire and Gloucestershire. The local village of St Briavels has a village shop, an inn, a village hall, a highly regarded primary school and is famous for its ancient castle. Monmouth to the north has an excellent selection of shops and services, including a Waitrose and a Marks & Spencer s, as well as the highly respected Haberdashers Schools for Girls and Boys. Chepstow also has a good range of facilities, as well as St John s On-the-Hill Preparatory School. The area is sought after due to its excellent road communications via the M48/M4 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. There is an abundance of recreational opportunities in the vicinity which 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 woods and countryside. Hudnalls House Approached down a quiet no-through road, Hudnalls House sits in an immensely private position surrounded by elegant gardens and mature grounds. The house dates back to the early Victorian era and was clearly positioned to make the most of the amazing views. It is full of character and though spacious is a highly manageable and lovely family house. Internally there are beautifully decorated reception rooms with large bay windows overlooking the gardens. A bespoke Mark Wareing solid oak kitchen has all the expected equipment including an ESSE stove. There are a number of utility and store rooms, some approached from outside. The main staircase leads up to a large light landing with doors off to the bedrooms, three of which have stunning views out over the valley and the remainder to the garden. These are all decorated to a high standard, as are the five bathrooms, three of which are en-suite. There is a second staircase from the rear of the kitchen and a further staircase to the second floor bedroom. Studio and Office Block The former period Coach House and Stables is a well converted generous studio/recreation room with a shower room, and a well-equipped modern office above. It has its own central heating system and a log burner.
Gardens and Grounds The magnificent gardens have been beautifully maintained by the present owners and create a beautiful backdrop to the woods. The gardens are principally south-facing and have large formal lawns interspersed with an array of mature trees and shrubs including Copper Beech, Scots Pine, Magnolia, Wisteria and Rhododendron designed to provide all year round colour and interest. Closer to the house are terraces and shaded sitting areas, whilst to the east is the original walled kitchen garden with gravel walkways, vegetable beds and fruit trees and shrubs.
