5 bedroom detached house for sale

Nestled within an idyllic rural, south-facing valley in an area of outstanding natural beauty is the stunning and truly unique detached home called Fields End.

Originally a cottage dating back to the 1800s, this much-loved home has been extended over the years to create an incredible and substantial five-bed dream home cocooned by a glorious landscape of woodland and rolling fields above the village of Woodcroft, between the River Wye and the River Severn.

Tucked away off a dead-end lane with only two neighbours, from the front door there is an abundance of countryside to explore. From truly wonderful walks and hikes, horse rides and rambling to river-based water sports and ancient woodland to discover, the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley are waiting to enchant you. In addition, The Green Way cycle path, running along a disused railway towards Redbrook and Monmouth, is also nearby.

Back at Fields End there is 1.6 acres of land to call your own, that includes a paddock with fruit trees plus an immaculate garden that boasts sun-drenched patios and a wildlife pond, plus practical features such as a double garage with solar panels, shed, and greenhouse.

Inside, the house has three amazing floors to explore in a mainly upside down layout. There is a wine cellar and two ensuite bedrooms on the lower ground floor that includes the principal bedroom that boasts French doors onto a garden patio.

The middle floor is home to another two ensuite bedrooms, a kitchen diner, utility room, formal dining room with sliding doors out to the garden plus a spacious and inviting living room which flows out into a truly unique space.

One of the many highlights of this thoughtfully designed home is the impressive, two-storey, south-facing conservatory constructed on stilts to maximise the view through its wall of glass doors and windows.

The beautiful location is ideal as a rural retreat, cocooned in mesmerising views and immersed in nature, but the house is also only about two miles from the charming town of Chepstow, offering a myriad of eateries and pubs, shops and supermarkets, sports and leisure activities plus every day amenities.

The town offers easy access to the A48, M4, M48 and M5 for travelling further afield by car plus the railway station is on the mainline train route.

The nearest primary school in Tutshill has a good reputation and the village can also offer a shop, coffee bar, and thriving community hall. Even closer is the charming village of Woodcroft, home to The Rising Sun pub which is only half a mile away, visited by strolling through the neighbouring fields.

Step inside - Step inside Fields End to explore the three spectacular floors that this much-loved and thoughtfully designed home offers, with exceptional design features that create seamless flow, effortless connections of spaces, and cascades of light filling every room.

You enter on the ground floor having been welcomed by a small set of charming steps that add to the anticipation that you are about to enter a totally unique home. This is actually the middle floor as the three story home nestles into the gently sloping pretty plot of land.

This has created a lower ground floor that was once the original cottage but has been transformed into two ensuite bedrooms and wine cellar. This lower level hides the principal bedroom that is such a special space, boasting French doors out to a garden patio so you can enjoy your breakfast in bed or wander outside to greet the day with your morning coffee.
But before descending to the lower level the embracing design of the entrance hall has already enchanted you with its bespoke carved wood and glass staircase and clever internal glass walls and doors that offer you glimpses of the spaces waiting to greet you and easily beckoning you to explore further.

To the right is the comfortable and modern living room, an inviting and social space ideal for family and friends to gather that then flows out into a show-stopping, two-storey conservatory when the connecting bi-fold doors are open.

Surely one of the most unique conservatory spaces in Gloucestershire. It's impossible not to be impressed by this room. It can easily lure you into the space with the promise of mesmerising views to the horizon through its curved wall of glass plus a glass roof that makes you feel like you're totally immersed in the outdoors; it's a very special and thoughtful addition to the home.

Imagine relaxing in a comfy chair in this elevated, south-facing space watching wildlife visit the stunning garden, the weather wandering across the sky, and the se..

When the weather is warm the doors fold back to reveal a glass Juliet balcony structure creating an even stronger connection to the cocooning landscape, with birdsong and summer breezes wafting in as you fully immerse yourself in the special location of this dream home.

Eventually you have to leave this incredible room and a meander back into the hall reveals another internal glass wall with a glass door into the well-equipped kitchen that is one of the number of social hubs in the home, with space for a dining table plus double aspect views to accompany the cook.

There's a formal dining room next to the kitchen that is the perfect place for a family meal or dinner party as it is connected to the garden via sliding glass doors, allowing you to effortlessly wander outside onto the patio.

On this middle floor are two more ensuite, double bedrooms and a handy utility room to discover before the impressive statement staircase calls you to the top of the house.

On this third level of the house you find an area that was once an attic but has now been cleverly converted into an outstanding collection of rooms and spaces. Within one corner of this top floor is a stunning office space tucked under the sloping roof and boasting a statement window that has been designed to follow the shape of the roof - it's a work space guaranteed to make colleagues on Zoom calls very envious.

Another section of the converted attic is a cosy reading nook but it's not the only relaxing area up here because up here is also the second storey of the conservatory - a mezzanine balcony seating area that looks out through the glass roof and floor-to-ceiling windows of the space below.

Sitting in a comfy chair here feels like you're up in the trees, close to the clouds, and fully immersed in the panoramic rural views that stretch out before you from this elevated space.

Finally, a double bedroom can be found in the converted attic and it too can boast a quirky window shape that perfectly frames the idyllic landscape that this house calls home. There is also a shower room on this floor.

Outside - Step outside into the immaculately landscaped 1.6 acre garden that surrounds this unique home, teeming with wildlife, immersed in birdsong, and offering mesmerising countryside views across the beautiful surrounding countryside that is deemed an area of outstanding natural beauty.

The private, sun-drenched garden is an enchanting sanctuary, offering a number of perfect lawns to play games, numerous patios to relax in a deckchair, host summer parties and enjoy alfresco dining - from an early morning breakfast to a late evening drink under the starry sky.

Flanked by hedges, mature trees and shrubs, the pretty flower beds add softness while the split-levels of lawns and patios create more intimate spaces, including the seating built into the stone wall that curves around the lower garden next to the tranquil pond.
There are plenty of practical elements to this pretty garden too, including a greenhouse, a shed that was once a stable, and a wood store supporting flower and food growing endeavours.

There's parking for at least five cars on the private driveway - a brilliant bonus to the double garage which boasts roof solar panels and a carport and there's even an outside toilet hiding in the garage complex.

Part of the 1.6 acres of land is a grassy paddock that includes fruit trees and could be used for horses.

From the garden the view of the double-storey conservatory on stilts is fully revealed and it looks breath-taking. Its thoughtful design extends its physical connection to the garden, with the addition of a staircase from the main area down to the patio and lawn.

This exceptional addition to the home is handy too, providing a shaded area on the patio underneath the structure to retire to when the sun is too hot or when rain eventually appears; the garden has been lavished with the same love and attention to detail as the house, creating a stunning outside space that everyone will enjoy as the setting for making lifelong memories.
