Description

This distinguished Grade II listed Georgian residence, set in the unspoiled countryside overlooking the Wye Valley, offers significant renovation and investment potential. The property is characterized by its original features—ranging from ornate fireplaces to grand sash windows—that could be enhanced through thoughtful updates while preserving its historical charm. The self-contained annexe presents further opportunities for income generation through short-term rentals or guest accommodation, making it an attractive option for investors. The expansive grounds of approximately 2.5 acres include traditional stone outbuildings that hold planning consent for conversion into a three-bedroom cottage, adding considerable value and functionality to the property. Nestled within a Designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this home benefits from stunning views and is well-connected to major transport links, making it viable for both residential living and rental markets. The layout includes spacious living areas that would benefit from modernisation—particularly the kitchen/breakfast room featuring an AGA—and several bedrooms that may require aesthetic updates to meet contemporary tastes. With recreational spaces such as a floodlit tennis court and proximity to local amenities in St Briavels and Chepstow, Birchfield House combines potential with lifestyle appeal.
