Location
The village of Whitchurch is highly sought after, offering a wealth of amenities, including its Church of England Primary School, which secured 'Good' and 'Outstanding' scores during Ofsted's 2025 inspection.
It also has a popular community-spirited village shop, Woods of Whitchurch, which also operates as a coffee shop and takeaway. There is also an excellent village hall, a reputable MOT centre, two highly commended hospitality venues - The Old Court Hotel and The Potting Shed - plus a post box and a bus stop.
The spectacular setting of Symonds Yat is within walking distance, and this is renowned for its phenomenal river scenery, expansive woodlands, and limestone cliffs. There are a multitude of welcoming riverside pubs and restaurants, many delightful walking and cycle routes throughout the area, and - for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits - various companies facilitate a wide range of activities such as canoe hire, rock climbing, and caving.
Whitchurch is centred between the two popular market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, both of which offer highly regarded secondary schools, supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, leisure facilities and independently owned shops.
A series of major road networks is also easily accessible; the A40 is nearby, and the eastbound route provides a direct connection to Gloucester, Cheltenham, and the Cotswolds. Meanwhile, motorists heading in the opposite direction can journey towards the M4 at Newport, giving access to Cardiff and London. In addition, the M50 motorway begins in Ross-on-Wye, around eight miles away, which gives good access to the M5.
The Home at a Glance
Apsley House is tucked away from the centre of Whitchurch behind a stone wall, a verdant hedge, and a pedestrian gate. A stone path leads to the main entrance, which is sheltered beneath a door canopy.
The reception hall wraps around to the right, extending towards a foyer, which presents a beautifully bright space that may be suitable as a reading nook, study, or playroom. Decorative paneling adorns the space around the staircase, presenting a handsome focal point.
Of the reception rooms, one serves as a sitting room, and the other as a dining room. Both have original wooden floors, exposed beams, sash windows with original shutters, and window seats with storage. It is also worth noting that both rooms carry fireplaces; the redbrick fireplace in the sitting room houses a wood-burning stove, whereas the dining room is an inset fireplace with room for an electric stove.
The dining kitchen also bears a log-burning stove, which is set within an exposed stone inglenook fireplace. This light and airy space is equipped with classically beautiful shaker-style units, a 1 +1/2 sink, a Hotpoint induction hob, two ovens, an integrated dishwasher, an integrated day fridge, and a wine cooler. A breakfast bar, fitted with a solid wooden countertop, grants an informal dining area, and a set of French doors lead out to a patio terrace - constucted from reclaimed flagstones previously found within the kitchen. From the kitchen, a door at one end leads into a generously sized utility room, which includes ample storage space, an additional sink, provision for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
From the kitchen, a door at one end leads into a generously sized utility room, which includes ample storage space, an additional sink, provision for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and another door to the garden.
The ground floor also includes an opportune set-up for a less mobile family member or guests, as there is a bedroom with enough room for a double bed, and this is positioned next to a shower room which is complete with a walk-in dual-headed shower, a countertop vanity unit, a WC, and a heated towel rail.
Upstairs, there is a sizeable galleried landing which leads to three double bedrooms. Of these, the master features a particularly pleasing elevated view over the variety of trees adorning the village's green space. Also on this level, there is a family bathroom which has a bath with overhead shower, a countertop vanity unit, a WC, a heated towel rail, and a built-in cupboard.
Outside, the gardens wrap around the front and side of the home and are predominantly laid to lawn, but there is a gravelled area which could become an off-road parking space, subject to the necessary planning constraints. In the far corner of the sun-trap side garden, there is an old well, which gives a quirky feature.
In terms of parking arrangements, there is a pull-in area at the front of the property and unrestricted roadside parking opposite the home.
