Garway House occupies a stunning elevated position on the slopes of Garway Hill overlooking the rural tranquillity of the Orcop countryside. It is centrally situated between the picturesque county town of Monmouth, the market town of Abergavenny renowned for its food festival, and the fine cathedral city of Hereford. It is well positioned to explore the scenic splendours of the Welsh Hills, the Wye Valley and The Forest of Dean. There is good access to the motorway network, south via Abergavenny to the M4, and east to the M50 at Ross on Wye. There are railway stations at Hereford and Abergavenny.
Garway House is a fine example of an Edwardian country residence, with many period features including the lovely tiled hallway and balustraded staircase which meet your eye as you pass into the house through the spacious entrance porch. The principal rooms have high ceilings with moulded cornice and large windows affording glorious views. The bay window of the drawing room floods the room with morning sunshine and the Edwardian fireplace throws out a welcome warmth on wintry evenings. In the light and airy sitting room the period French windows give access to the garden and a wood burning stove is fitted in the fireplace. An impressive original brick fireplace dominates the dining room and French windows in the south facing bay open onto the shrub bordered lawn. In summer and winter this is a very snug family room with a corner door, an unusual architectural feature, connecting indirectly to the kitchen which has modern fitted units, Aga and breakfast table and is well suited to modern life. There is a useful walk-in pantry with slate slab, shallow sink and quarry tile floor. The side entrance lobby, with adjacent utility, WC and store rooms has plenty of space for all the paraphernalia of country living. Upstairs there is a large landing giving access to the ensuite master bedroom with the large bay window offering a wonderful view across Herefordshire farmland framed by its own woodland of Edwardian conifer planting. The adjacent bedroom, also ensuite, enjoys the same view and both rooms have period cast iron fireplaces. Three further bedrooms and the family bathroom complete the accommodation in this lovely family home which is so essentially Edwardian yet has all modern conveniences.
Standing in the gardens of Garway House, on the further side of the lawn, is The Summer House, which has been converted from outbuildings with great sensitivity to form self contained two bedroom holiday accommodation, incorporating the original delightful first floor garden room with its period windows of great character. Externally the Edwardian architecture has been lovingly refurbished and internally it has been tastefully furnished with well appointed kitchen and bathroom, and a wood burner in the living room. Please see the website www.garwayhouse.co.uk for further details.
Garway House is approached off a quiet country lane through an entrance gate shaded by a handsome maple, down a driveway flanked by mature rhododendrons, laurel and magnolia. On the slope of the hill below the house there is mature conifer woodland running down to a buttercup pasture where sheep graze. At the bottom of the field there is gated access to the adjacent lane. Below the woodland is a marshy pond with bulrush, yellow flag iris, dog rose and other native plants creating a wildlife haven, and the property is bordered by ancient oak trees. Beyond The Summer House there is a large barn (approx 28' x 28') of concrete block construction with locally-sourced larch weatherboard cladding, full width sliding doors, and windows to two sides. Nearby is a timber garage (14' x 9'). The Orchard was planted within the last two years with traditional Herefordshire varieties of apple, plum, pear and quince. In the lower garden there is an Edwardian greenhouse (19' x 9'), a hen house, garden shed, modern outdoor gas heated swimming pool (28' x 14'), that was fully relined and renovated in 2009, and poolside summer house. In the woodland is a dilapidated small stone barn and attached weatherboard barn.
