St Lawrence House Mounton Road | Chepstow | NP16 6AA
Step inside St Lawrence House
On the outskirts of Chepstow and approached over a small lane, a LISTED GEORGIAN HOUSE, very well presented with spacious rooms, large but manageable. It stands within fine mature gardens and enjoys magnificent open views over adjacent open fields to the Severn, including both bridges and Somerset. There is a grand portico entrance to the magnificent 9m long Reception Hall and an impressive 1.1m wide cantilevered staircase rises off to the First Floor and the part galleried landing. Light floods into the Hall from both the leaded light window to the side of the entrance door and from a glazed cupola over the galleried landing. There are 3.7m high ceilings throughout the ground floor with The Drawing Room, with its decorative fireplace and wood-burner, having wonderful views through the bay window over open fields towards the Severn and both bridges. There are two further very good size Formal Reception Rooms both with feature bay windows and lovely outlook. There is a Breakfast Kitchen and Domestic Offices. Upstairs, off the main landing, there are four principal Bedrooms, the Master Bedroom being En-Suite with Two Dressing Rooms, and a Shower Room. There are two further Bedrooms, and a Bathroom, off an inner landing with access also from the secondary (servants) staircase. There are also extensive Attic Rooms with potential for further bedrooms if required. The Large Cellars also provide excellent storage and would be ideal for a gymnasium or parties!
Step outside St Lawrence House
The gardens with fine views and extensive outbuildings The house commands a fine outlook over adjacent open fields towards the Severn, including both bridges, across to Somerset and downstream towards Penarth. The main gardens are laid mainly to lawn with shrub borders and several mature trees. The drive leads into the rear of the house, a partly walled courtyard and several very useful outbuildings. These provide secure storage and/or garaging for several vehicles and would be ideal for a vintage car collection. The block of five 1 bedroom letting units very valuable ancillary income On the opposite side of the courtyard is an old building converted to five one-bedroom letting units. All are currently let on ASSURED SHORTHOLD TENANCIES and produce a valuable ancillary income.
Historical note The house was built in the late Eighteenth Century by Thomas Fydell, a Chepstow merchant, probably when he was Sherriff in 1772, and thought to be on the site of an earlier building. The site had been noted as a prominent pilots mark for ships on the Severn as early as the Seventeenth Century. Directions From Larkfield Roundabout take the A466, St Lawrence Road, towards Chepstow Racecourse. Take the first turning left onto Mounton Road and the property is a little way down on the left hand side.
