The White House is a delightful Edwardian property believed to date from 1908. The views from many of the rooms are second to none and include the River Severn, Forest of Dean, Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains in the distance. The accommodation within the house takes full advantage of its position with large windows and high ceilings giving a feeling of light and space throughout.
The conservatory has French windows leading to the terrace and the master bedroom has a balcony, ideal for summer breakfasts, along with an en suite dressing room and bathroom. The five further bedrooms benefit from a family bathroom and a shower room. There is also a roof terrace which is accessed from the second floor and again takes full advantage of the panoramic views.
In addition to the main house there is a double garage with a studio/office above incorporating a shower room and a kitchenette, with a workshop below.
The property is approached from a no-through lane to a block paved area with parking for several cars. A paved path leads to the fornt of the house and continues to a wonderful area covered by a pergola which provides a superb summer entertaining area. The gardens lie mainly to the front and side of the property and are terraced with several different levels.
The upper level includes the paved terrace along with an orchard and a summer house, whilst the middle level consists of a "secret" garden with a gazebo and the tennis court (which is in need of attention). The lower level has a woodland walk with productive Quince, Medlar, Walnut and Mulberry trees and there is also a small paddock area beyond. In all the property sits in about 2.5 acres.
3 reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory, cloakroom, utility room. 6 bedrooms, 3 bath/shower rooms. Double garage with office above, workshop, range of outside stores, tennis court.
