Another bedroom features a characterful fireplace and enjoys dual aspect views across both the fields to the rear and the garden to the front, while the fourth bedroom sits adjacent to a modern family bathroom.

Location and Situation - The Rolls of Monmouth Estate, now known as The Hendre, became the country seat of the Rolls family in 1767 and remained in their ownership until 1984. Rowancroft was one of the original cottages on the estate and remained part of it until the estate was divided in the 1980s. The Hendre is most famously associated with Charles Stewart
Rolls, the pioneering aviator and co-founder of Rolls-Royce, whose legacy continues to be tied to this historic family home.
Rowancroft lies less than five miles from Monmouth, providing easy access to all the town's amenities and attractions. Educational options range from local primary schools to Monmouth Comprehensive and the prestigious Haberdashers' independent school for boys and girls. Nearby, Llangattock School in Monmouth offers Montessori-style education, providing a distinctive, child-centred learning approach.
Monmouth, offering a delightful mix of boutique shops, two theatres, a cinema, and well-known supermarkets including Waitrose and M&S Simply Food. The town and its surrounding villages are also home to several historic pubs, each adding character and tradition to the local dining scene. Outdoor enthusiasts are well catered for, with rowing on the River Wye, fishing on the River Monnow, and scenic walks through the Wye Valley to the east, while to the west lie the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains.
The nearby Forest of Dean provides an abundance of cycling and hiking trails, along with picturesque woodland and rich wildlife. Golfers will appreciate The Rolls of Monmouth Golf Club, approximately a quarter of a mile from the property, home to a championship 6,733-yard course set amid superb countryside with far-reaching views of the Welsh hills, widely regarded as one of the finest in Wales and the UK.
Transport links are excellent, with the A40 providing quick access to the M50 and M5 motorways north towards Birmingham, as well as routes south to the M4 for Bristol, Cardiff and the wider region.

Outside - The house enjoys a beautifully secluded position, set well back from the road at the end of a long private driveway that winds through stunning parkland-style grounds. A wide variety of trees, including horse chestnut, beech, willow, tulip trees, and acres, are thoughtfully scattered throughout the land, creating a wonderfully natural and informal landscape. This setting offers excellent privacy, with no immediately close neighbours.
The driveway culminates in a generous turning circle in front of the house, providing ample off-road parking. At the far edge of the land lies a gently wild woodland, with meandering paths cut through to encourage exploration while supporting insects and local wildlife.
In all, the grounds extend to approximately 4 acres and are naturally zoned into areas for everyone to enjoy. A large, level lawn is ideal for children's games, from football and croquet to lawn tennis, while an expansive patio at the rear of the house provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining and summer entertaining. For keen gardeners, there's a greenhouse and space to grow vegetables.
A range of outbuildings adds further appeal. A two-and-a-half garage with three sets of doors includes a bright, airy room above, currently used as a home office but equally well suited as a craft or hobby room. Attached to the rear of the main house is a stone outbuilding presently used for storage, with potential for conversion into a gym, office, or studio space (subject to the necessary consents).
A particularly charming feature is the rustic stone barn with cobbled flooring, currently a characterful log store, but with a distinct atmosphere that would lend itself beautifully to use as a party barn or entertaining space, or perhaps conversion into a guest or granny annexe, subject to planning.
