Welcome to Hardwick Cottage, a timeless masterpiece steeped in history and charm. This Grade II Listed property was built for the site-engineer of the Great Western Railway and has been associated with local luminaries such as Herbert Griffiths, former owner of the renowned Herbert Lewis Department store. Over the years, the current owners have lovingly renovated it, meticulously preserving its historical integrity while seamlessly blending modern comfort with classic elegance. Every corner of Hardwick Cottage tells a story, making it not just a house, but a living piece of Chepstow's rich heritage.
Located along a quiet and private lane, as you arrive at Hardwick Cottage, you'll discover the half-acre of meticulously landscaped gardens and grounds, where mature trees and flowering plants create a tranquil oasis, offering a retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life.Step inside and be greeted by the impressive entrance hall of Hardwick Cottage. With soaring ceilings, limestone flooring, and a balustrade stretching up to the first floor, this space exudes quiet grandeur. The meticulous attention to detail in the refurbishment process is evident here. With many retained and restored features such a bay & sash windows, shutters & servants bells on display, every architectural feature harkens back to a bygone era of craftsmanship and opulence.
Experience the spacious living and dining rooms, where every element has been carefully curated to evoke a sense of timeless elegance. The bay windows flood the main reception rooms with natural light, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Enormous double doors between the two rooms provide the flexibility to create intimate spaces for quiet reflection or to open up the area for grand gatherings, when the current owners have played host to over 20 guests. Whether you're curling up by one of the fireplaces with a good book or entertaining guests, these rooms offer the perfect blend of comfort and sophistication.
Indulge in the stunning refurbished kitchen where form meets function in perfect harmony. The stylish island serves as the centerpiece, offering ample space for meal preparation and casual dining. Sleek finishes and state-of-the-art appliances ensure that every meal is a culinary masterpiece. Adjacent is a separate breakfast room, bathed in natural light, providing the perfect setting for leisurely mornings and lively conversations, which in turn also gives access to the conservatory providing further space to unwind. For added convenience, a separate utility room ensures that household chores are handled with ease, allowing you to focus on enjoying the comforts of home. Additionally you then have internal access to a cellar, ideal for housing your wine collection, or simply to be used for storage.
Journey upstairs to the first floor, where the allure continues to captivate.
