Located in the Idyllic Wye Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and situated only a short distance from the world renowned area of Tintern with its majestic Abbey, Moray House enjoys a commanding position affording breathtaking views and sits within gardens and grounds extending to circa 0.96 acres. This delightful, detached ‘chocolate box’ cottage has been significantly modernised and improved by the current owners, offering well-planned living accommodation briefly comprising lounge, second reception room, kitchen/ dining room, utility and shower room to the ground floor, whilst there are three double bedrooms and a four-piece family bathroom on the first floor. The property further benefits a detached garage and extensive driveway parking. Moray House would suit a variety of markets and has fantastic potential for further development by way of extension to the side (subject to planning), which would create an outstanding, sizeable family home.
Tintern is well served with several shops, an excellent doctors’ surgery, book shop and cafés. Several fantastic local pubs and inns can be found along its banks, including The Anchor Inn with its views of the abbey, family-run restaurant Woodsaw and Wheel, and traditional pub The Rose & Crown. The Wild Hare is due to reopen in 2024 after an extensive refurbishment. The town today is a hub of community with a local book club, gardening club, and twice monthly local produce market. The surroundings in the Wye Valley are classified as an aonb, offering opportunities for walking, horse-riding, or bike rides through the lush green landscape, and over the expansive River Wye. The nearest railway station, Chepstow, is a 15-minute drive away, with connections running to London in just over 2 hours, or to Bristol in around 45 minutes. The M4 can be easily accessed, turning off for the A466 to Chepstow, and continuing on towards the Wye Valley.
