Location & Description
Guildown occupies a wonderfully dominant site on the extreme south western outskirts of the favoured village of Goodrich, some 5 miles south west of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye. The historic town of Monmouth lies some 6 miles to the south west, with the A40 dual carriageway linking these two towns enabling fast access to the nations motorway network.
Although we have no actual records, we believe the property to have been constructed in the early part of the last Century, tell tale signs being the presence of a former stable and coach house lying directly to the south west of the main dwelling.
The house is of rendered and colour washed elevations under a double pitched and hipped slate roof, and as well as the fine cellar beneath the property, there is also a second floor bedroom with attic rooms off.
All principal rooms have windows to the south east, not only allowing the penetration of excellent natural light, but also enabling beautiful unspoilt views across the meandering River Wye towards famed Coppett Hill. There are totally enclosed porches to both front and rear elevations, each of which allows access to the large and wonderfully welcoming galleried reception hall. Off this hall are three outstanding reception rooms, two of which extend to over 25'. Also on this floor are the kitchen with lovely white Aga range, laundry and utility rooms, workshop and cloaks and w.c. To the first floor are four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a fine covered balcony accessible directly from the two main bedrooms. There is then a further staircase to the second floor comprising a bedroom together with attic and storage rooms.
Central heating is from an oil fired radiator system, in addition to which there are multi fuel stoves set within fireplaces of the two main reception rooms.
Close by, the sought after village of Goodrich offers primary school, two pubs, church, village hall and an excellent community spirit whilst nearby Whitchurch offers an outstanding local shop, pubs, church, village school, village hall and direct access to the A40 dual carriageway linking Ross and Monmouth.
