Summary
South Lodge stands adjacent to farmland on the elevated outskirts of the sought after village of Goodrich, some 5 miles southwest of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye, and approx. 7 miles northeast of the historic town of Monmouth.
As one of 2 lodges to the huge former country house known as Goodrich Court, the property is primarily of stone construction, the upper floor clad with most attractive red, fish scale tiles under a tiled roof. Dating from the mid to late 19th century, the stone mullioned windows, decorative cusped barge boards and leaded light windows combine to create a truly fascinating property of immense character.
Subsequent to their arrival at the property, the current owners extended the property on the ground floor to create a magnificent, largely glass sided octagonal kitchen with vaulted, atrium style ceiling and cupola above. From the whole of this area, there are beautiful views across the landscaped gardens towards countryside beyond. Positioned adjacent to this area is the snug and dining room, whilst remaining rooms on the ground floor include a utility room and understairs store.
On the floor above, the enclosed porch opens to a spacious hallway giving access to 2 reception rooms, one with wood burner, each room having windows to 3 elevations enabling a gorgeous outlook. There is also a cloaks & wc on this level. On the floor above are the 4 bedrooms, the 15' master bedroom with excellent ensuite facilities comprising both bath and stand-alone shower, as has the main family bathroom off the central landing.
Central heating is from an oil-fired system supplying mainly radiators, but with under floor heating beneath the kitchen and dining room which have slate flooring. Attention to detail played a central part in the refurbishment throughout, and only a thorough internal inspection will reveal the true character and beauty of the property.
Externally, a pair of attractive listed gates open onto a large, paved driveway allowing parking for several vehicles, and enabling access to the substantial double garage which stands under a double pitched tiled roof and has both log store and garden shed adjacent. Also nearby are raised vegetable and fruit beds.
Alongside the driveway there is a bed of most attractive box hedging with shrubs and young trees to the opposite side of the drive.
The principal areas of garden lie to the north and east of the dwelling and comprise beautifully landscaped grounds, to the east of which lies the main area of level lawn, being of average approx. Dimensions 185' x 85'. To the periphery of the lawn are a number of trees and shrubs including Silver Birch, Flowering Cherry, 25 tall Cypress Trees and Acers.
Lying between the lawn and the house, and extending for the whole of the extent of the accommodation is a wonderful, paved sun terrace which is fringed by shrubs and young trees, whilst to the north of same is the pond and amazing rock waterfall with most attractive and functional octagonal gazebo close by. Further shrubs lie adjacent to this area and extend upwards to the neat area of lawn alongside the aforementioned double garage. Shrubs here include Gunnera, Variegated Laurel, Mexican Orange Blossom, Variegated Holly and many more.
Lying towards the southern end of the grounds is the covered BBQ area, a superb covered space in which to sit out and grill that sizzling meat!
The Village
Goodrich stands within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has long been a sought after village, partly for the setting close to the Wye and Castle, but partly because of its wide range of facilities including a noted and popular Primary School, thriving village hall and tennis club, historic Church and 2 public houses. Moreover, for those who require good access to fast communications, the A40 dual carriageway links seamlessly into the national motorway network.
