An appealing Edwardian style detached house of traditional red brick construction which has been sympathetically improved and updated during recent years by the current owners to provide a family home of great character and charm offering light, airy and versatile accommodation to include two reception rooms, beautifully fitted kitchen/breakfast room with bi-folding doors onto covered terrace, utility/cloakroom, unique hobby room complete with climbing walls, four bedrooms with master having en-suite plus family bathroom. Large landscaped gardens catering for wild/insect life with ample parking to the front and forming an idyllic retreat to the rear. Well situated in the sought-after area of Tutshill approximately 1.5 miles from Chepstow town centre which offers a range of facilities including shops, restaurants, pubs, leisure centre, road rail and bus links and easy commuting via the M48 motorway for Bristol, London, Newport, Cardiff and Gloucester. The name of Tutshill derives from the ruined tut' which is a local term for watchtower which can be found overlooking the River Wye with distant views of the River Severn and estuary. This tower is of uncertain date but there is a belief it could be an Anglo-Norman watchtower once linked to Chepstow Castle. It is situated alongside part of the Offas Dyke Path a National Trail which follows the English/Welsh border for 177 miles offering amazing opportunities to observe a wealth of native wildlife. Further outdoor activities and local historical interest are within close proximity in the form of the renowned Wye Valley, Sedbury Cliffs, Chepstow and Caldicot castles and Tintern Abbey. The Vendors were initially looking for a 'garden with house attached' when they viewed this property some 10 years ago and were taken by the fact this was a project upon which they could put their own individual stamp. The local walks and in particular the climbing facilities offered them a rare opportunity to indulge in their hobbies and was a contributing factor to their purchase.
