VENDOR INSIGHT:- - "Since 2003, Heathcliffe House has been our cherished home, a property that initially beckoned us with untapped potential and has since transformed into a labour of love through extensive refurbishments both inside and out." "We converted barns into versatile spaces and they now offer a games room, gym, private suite, and a sheep barn into a cherished swimming pool and sauna, where special moments with grandchildren have filled our days with joy." "One of the standout features is the bespoke staircase within the grand entrance halla space which brings me fond memories, especially during Christmas mornings adorned with a full-sized tree and the excitement of unwrapping presents around it." "The open-plan kitchen, both practical and the heart of our home, has witnessed countless gatherings, parties, and family affairs. Its seamless connection to an outdoor terrace provides the perfect setting for entertaining. The house, despite its size, exudes a cosy and inviting ambiance, designed with practicality, great flow, and an abundance of natural light." "The property's initial allure was the garden, a canvas for transformation that we envisioned - an oasis in the countryside. Meticulously landscaped by an award-winning Chelsea Flower Show designer, is a visual feast that changes with the seasons. Watching the transformation of trees, the blossoming of rose bushes, and the growth of grapes on vines brings continual joy. The uninterrupted views over fields, coupled with the diverse wildlife, including a returning woodpecker year after year, make the garden a sanctuary." "Nestled in the countryside, Heathcliffe House offers privacy while remaining conveniently close to Cardiff and Newport. The proximity to country walks and a National Trust property adds to its charm it really offers the best of both worlds." "What will be missed most are the wonderful parties and momentous occasions hosted here. From hosting a 50th-anniversary celebration to two children's weddings, this house has been a witness to a full and cherished life, I shall be leaving it as lovely as the day we designed ita place we've sympathetically nurtured and adored." Outside - Step outside and the high level of design and luxury befitting a dream home continues within approximately four acres of mature and landscaped garden, flanked by rural views that envelop the property. There are delightful walkways through mature trees, ample space for growing your own produce, keeping chickens, and welcoming beehives to the site. More leisurely moments can be spent relaxing cocooned by nature in the landscaped garden that hugs the house, with an array of patios and terraces on a variety of levels waiting to greet you. Designed by a Chelsea Flower Show gold medallist, each patio offers a unique view of the grounds, surrounded by plants, hedges and gazebos, and an inviting space for enjoying alfresco dining and hosting parties. Hidden behind a high hedge is a full-size tennis court perfectly placed to assist you in practising your serve or starting your journey into learning how to play this absorbing sport. The court is flood-lit so any close match can continue into the evening to eventually crown its winner. At the front of the property and tucked away from any neighbours at the end of a private lane, the electric gates slowly open to reveal this magnificent house via the large, sweeping driveway it deserves. There's a double garage to impress the cars, and ample parking space for at least 15 cars which is a bonus for guests as this abode has been designed for socialising and hosting the best parties.
