What we like about living here
* The ideal mix of quiet surroundings and being able to easily pop into Chepstow for groceries or a night out. Also, close enough to major cities for concerts etc.
* Good restaurants including the Michelin starred Crown at Whitebrook
* Masses of good walks. We especially enjoy being able to walk from the door to Tintern or Brockweir for lunch and to Devils Pulpit in the evening to look down at Tintern Abbey
* Cosying up on a winters evening in front of the fire

Parking

We are widening the drive to allow cars to park side by side rather than in tandem as we are aware that for some the drive and parking is awkward. This work should be completed shortly.

Bills and Maintenance

* Drainage is into the septic tank which is self-draining
* The garden has been deliberately planted to be low maintenance, bits of weeding and Spring/Autumn pruning is all that is needed to keep the borders looking good

Other bits which might be useful to know
