This delightful, period detached cottage enjoys a picturesque woodland setting above the meandering River Wye near the lovely village of Brockweir in the Lower Wye Valley.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Wye Valley National Landscape, two-bed Spring Cottage is set in 1.07 acres of mature gardens. A rural gem in an idyllic location, it is within 300 metres of the riverside. There are wonderful walks from the doorstep and it is less than a mile from the Offa's Dyke Path National Trail.

Brockweir is a small but vibrant riverside settlement, well-served by the award-winning Brockweir and Hewelsfield Village Shop, which stocks local produce and has a lovely café, which provides a lively meeting place for locals. The café is also very popular with walkers, being close to Offa's Dyke Path and the Wye Valley Walk. Other village facilities include a playing field next to the village shop and The Mackenzie Hall, which hosts a range of classes, clubs and events, including a Tennis Club.

Offering a blissful rural lifestyle, the cottage is nevertheless easily accessible. The historic market towns of Chepstow (8 miles) and Monmouth (11 miles) are a short drive away. Larger conurbations within easy reach include Bristol (25 miles), Newport (26 miles) and Cardiff (37 miles). From Monmouth, the A40/M50 gives access to the Midlands.
