Quicken Tree Cottage takes its name from the trees in its own private woodland and is full of character and charm, offering everything you would expect from a traditional country cottage.
The solid oak kitchen, painted in Farrow & Ball, immediately catches the eye, with matching oak worktops enhancing its rustic appeal. A Belfast sink, integrated dishwasher, and electric Aga sit at the heart of the space, while the original bread oven remains as a charming nod to the past. There's room for a dining table at the centre and fitted shelves for cookbooks. The kitchen also enjoys easy access to the front terraceperfect for al fresco breakfasts and summer dining.
Adjoining the kitchen is a versatile utility/boot room, providing ample space for white goods, coats, and boots. An electric double oven offers a practical alternative to the Aga, and a modern cloakroom is conveniently accessed from this area.
There are two main reception rooms: a cosy sitting room with a stone fireplace, currently used as a music room, and a magnificent, generously sized living and dining space. This impressive room is arranged as both a comfortable lounge, complete with a beautiful stone fireplace and wood-burning stove, and a formal dining area ideal for entertaining. Five windows fill the space with natural light, including a charming bay window with a built-in seatan inviting spot to admire the wonderful views.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and an open landing area, currently used as a home office, which was previously a bedroom before the property was extended. The principal bedroom is exceptionally bright and airy, with four dual-aspect windows allowing light to flood in. All of the bedrooms enjoy stunning views across the Wye Valley. A family bathroom and a separate shower room complete the first floor.
Step outside and immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of nature, with birdsong filling the air as you enter the beautifully designed seasonal gardens. From the terrace in front of the property, take in the breathtaking view of Bigsweir Bridge and the sweeping bend of the River Wye, all framed by rolling countryside. This thoughtfully positioned terrace is perfect for al fresco dining, where you can unwind and watch the sun set behind the hills.
The gardens unfold in a series of distinct and enchanting spaces, including neat lawns, a peaceful pond, and secluded seating areas framed by a water feature. Winding pathways weave their way past a magnificent magnolia tree, leading up towards the greenhouse and productive vegetable beds, before opening out into a wildflower meadow. At the top of the garden, a fence and gate provide privacy from the footpath, which leads beyond to a small woodland.
A public footpath runs alongside the property and continues through the uppermost part of the garden, offering direct access to scenic walks through Cadora Woods or a pleasant stroll down to the pub in Redbrook. The surrounding network of footpaths stretches for miles, inviting endless opportunities to explore the countryside.
At the entrance, a five-bar gate opens onto a long driveway leading up to the garage, flanked by a vibrant cut-flower bed. Additional off-road parking is available at the top of the driveway.
Designed for year-round interest, the gardens offer a changing tapestry of colourdaffodils brighten the spring, herbaceous borders flourish in summer, and the landscape remains a haven for wildlife throughout the seasons.
