Location and situation
Welsh Newton Common is a large area of registered common land on the Monmouthshire/ Herefordshire border. Close by is the small,
vibrant and sociable village of Welsh Newton, which has a centuries-old church, a listed 18th century parsonage house and several farms. The open countryside around Welsh Newton makes this a lovely spot for walkers, horse riding and other outdoor activities. South Herefordshire and Monmouth Golf Clubs within easy driving distance.
Welsh Newton lies just over three miles from Monmouth and eight south west from Ross-on-Wye, both of which have a fine array of shops, services and exceptional schools, including the Haberdashers' independent schools for boys and girls in Monmouth. Monmouth has a branch of Waitrose. Gloucester, which has direct trains to London, is 26 miles away. Newport is around 30 miles away, Bristol 37 miles and Cardiff 40 miles. The M48, which provides access to the M4, is 22 miles away.
Sellers Insight - 3 Woodside has been our home since 2012. Nestled in tranquillity, it offered the perfect escape from the bustle of daily life. Though it required extensive work, we immediately saw its potential.
Since moving in, we have undertaken a comprehensive modernisation, enhancing both the style and functionality of the home. One of our proudest updates was installing a Neville Johnson staircase in the snug, adding both character and craftsmanship. One of our favourite spaces is the lounge, it is mainly glass and is flooded with natural light, offering
stunning panoramic views of the surrounding paddocks and rolling hills. Personally, I have loved sitting out on the balcony, taking in the landscape and peaceful atmosphere.
This home has been wonderful for entertaining. We hosted a large family Christmas, and our Arctic cabin with a built-in BBQ has become a favourite gathering place among friends and neighbours. It has been the setting for book clubs, festive celebrations, and lively evenings cooking sausages over the fire. A particularly fond memory is the time spent renovating weekends working in the garden with friends, ending the day gathered around a bonfire, sharing food and laughter.
The garden is a true haven for wildlife, making it a delight for birdwatchers. A friendly buzzard regularly waits for the lawn to be mowed, while my beloved robin and wagtail, Bobby and Waggy, always make an appearance.
We have dedicated time to restoring the paddocks, orchard, and woodland, transforming them from near wilderness to a flourishing landscape. In spring, we are rewarded with a stunning bluebell display, and our apple trees provide the perfect harvest for homemade pies. One of the most fulfilling aspects of living here has been the ability to bring the outdoors in, creating a home that is truly in harmony with nature.
The community is another highlight, with an active social scene and a strong sense of togetherness. We have enjoyed playing golf with neighbours at South Herefordshire and Monmouth Golf Club. A weekly walking group has been a fantastic way to explore the valley, and we are always rallying together for marathons and charity walks.
The local Church in Welsh Newton is an integral part of the community, where I have been proud to contribute through monthly donations. Many villagers also take part in the annual pantomime in Llangrove, making it a lively and welcoming place to live.
There is so much I will deeply misssummer evenings under the canopy, cooking on the firepit at the bottom of the paddock, and the warmth of the bonfire. Having worked in London, this home has been my sanctuary, offering a place of calm. 3 Woodside has been a space of joy, peace, and community, and I hope it brings its next owners as much happiness as it has given us.*

Outside - The 3.75 acres surrounding 3 Woodside are a nature-rich haven, consisting of landscaped gardens, paddocks, private woodland and a mature orchard. The landscaped gardens include a pond and rockery, rolling lawns, trees and shrubs and a charming and cosy wooden arctic cabin with its own barbecue, which is perfect for entertaining friends. The garden is filled with quiet nooks for sitting and watching wildlife and there is a lovely terrace, part of which is sheltered by a wall, making it a perfect spot for relaxing and enjoying the countryside views.
The paddocks are surrounded by post and rail fencing and five-bar gates and are served by a stable block. A circular walk from the paddocks leads through the private woodland, which fills with bluebells in the spring. 3 Woodside is reached along a quiet lane, has a large area for parking and provides easy access to the surrounding countryside.
