VENDOR INSIGHT:- - "Kinsale has been our home for nearly a decade. Dating back to the late 1800s, it's evolved to become a beautiful family home through modernisation, which we have always been careful to execute with sensitivity, to respect its former grandeur while integrating contemporary amenities. We love the original features such as the high ceilings, picture rails, ceiling roses and stunning floor tiles in the entrance hall, but with the added bonus of underfloor heating. It was an exciting day when we are asked that our house be used as a filming location for "A Discovery of Witches," testament to its timeless and unique appeal."

"In the drawing room, the marble fireplace is a captivating centrepiece for us to light the fire in the winter, while the orangery becomes our favourite space during the summer months. Its huge bifold doors, when opened, allows us to soak in the garden and look beyond to the picturesque landscape stretching over the Severn Bridge. Watching the changing seasons from this beautiful room, with evergreen trees giving a year-round ambiance, is a joy we have never tired of. Being able to open both sets of bi fold doors to have a space that flows from kitchen to garden is truly unique."

"The snug, a versatile space rivalling the size of the lounge, has served various purposes over the years, from a craft room to our daughter's play room come study now."

"During winter, the drawing room comes into its own, giving us a cosy room to snuggle up and light the fire, and at Christmas time decorating the Christmas tree in the bay window has become a tradition we'll cherish for years. We were drawn to the versatility of the house, and it deceptively expansive dimensions and ceiling heights. When we first viewed the house, we were left speechless that it just kept going and going. It's a home which has really evolved with our family - from a venue for lively gatherings in our pre-parenthood days to a cherished family home."

"Upstairs, the five bedrooms give us so much flexibility. The master bedroom boasts a bay window and fireplace which really bring so many features to the generous space. Looking out of the various windows, you can take in the Forest of Dean, the winding River Wye, and the bridges spanning the Severn."

"Our neighbours share our dedication to nurturing a strong community ethos. The village has a genuine welcoming atmosphere, meaning we couldn't entertain leaving the area for another location; it indisputably offers all the amenities we could hope for."

"The outside space has played so been so versatile; the predominantly lawned garden, basking in the southern exposure, has been the setting for countless rounds of family games, alfresco barbecues and drinks under the stars. We've enjoyed entertaining here - from 30th birthday celebrations to our daughters many birthday parties, its catered for all occasions with ease. We've even hired a hot tub for a family celebration and sat looking at the night stars with a glass of bubbles."

"Ideally suited for a family, this property is brimming with the hope another family will create their own lasting memories."

"We will fondly reminisce about the cherished memories created within these walls - from welcoming our daughter into the world to hosting festive gatherings around the dining table, it really has delivered everything we hoped it would and more. While we regret not having transformed the cellar into a proper wine cellar, we take pride in having tackled the less glamorous maintenance tasks. It is now time for a new custodian to imprint their mark on this residence, having inherited the fruits of our labour."
