6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 3 lounges, 2 dining spaces and a private 4 acres of relaxed gardens and meadows (hot tub and garden games so very family & dog friendly). Located between the Forest of Dean, Chepstow and the rolling country side of Severn Valley. South facing with wonderful views to both the forest and the River Severn.

THE BUILDING
This beautiful and wonderful listed Georgian stucco fronted home was built in 1814 and extended in 1820 and 1860 to create a spacious light filled home with plenty of receptions so that families can be together but not on top of each other. Since then the house has been lovingly restored to create a relaxed and comfortable home with luxurious comfort, good wifi and modern convenience. (Loads of history - The curved timbers used in the bow windows were from wood prepared for the hulls of the ship built for the Napoleonic war.)

INTERIOR & RECEPTION ROOMS
On the ground floor there are 3 reception rooms: (1) the light filled Blue Drawing Room (with a TV) with french doors on to the garden terrace; (2) the Library; (3) the family Lounge with epic 5m L shape sofa and 70inch QLED TV. There is round tabled dining room to seat up to 10 and a Breakfast Room off the chef's kitchen suite with a sofa and table seat 6, as well as two outdoor dining / lounge areas.

The 4 acres of grounds comprise of a 1 acre south facing garden laid to lawn and all year round terrace with sofas off the Drawing Room. Beyond that is a our 4 acre natural meadow, which we leave to nature in summer allowing wild flowers and grasses to grow to create a natural wild space for birds, bees and of course guests and their pets to enjoy. (It's also great for a summer picnic!). The Kitchen terrace has an XL Egg BBQ and seating and dining area.

We stayed here as a group of friends for a 40th birthday weekend and it exceeded our expectations - the phots don't do it justice! The rooms are beautiful and spacious, the kitchen has everything you need and more and there are so many cute spots to sit, relax and enjoy the surroundings. Great value for money as well - i have already recommended the Old Rectory to other friends :)
