The vendors commented: “It's beautiful - you can watch the weather rolling in through the valley, the early-morning mist and enjoy the tranquil surroundings through every season. 

“It's so peaceful - we love listening to the birdsong and the woodpeckers, watching the deer and all the other wildlife. 

“And because we are tucked away so rurally, the stars at night are like nothing you have ever seen before."

"The woodland provides all the wood for the wood burners and lovely walks for us and our dogs. Bluebells and wild flowers grow there and you can go through the woods and pop out on the Forestry trail by the River Wye."

The property is being sold by estate agents Fine & Country for a guide price of £1,150,000.

The agent commented: “This charming, detached, five-bedroom farmhouse is tucked away in a peaceful and picturesque location in the heart of the Lower Wye Valley, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 

“Thoughtfully updated and improved by the vendors, it offers immaculately-presented, family-sized accommodation.”
