Chepstow plot with planning permission for £650k on sale
Located high on the side of the Wye Valley, the land is described as offering "wide-reaching views" in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The plot, which is south-facing, includes gently sloping grounds and a variety of well-established fruit trees to the front and rear.
According to the property listing, around one acre of the site is natural woodland, referred to as a "secret garden" with a stream running through it.
The woodland is said to contain native oak, beech, and hazel trees, as well as spring flowers such as snowdrops, daffodils, wood anemones, and wild garlic.

A three-bedroom bungalow currently stands on the plot and was "happily lived in until recently," according to the listing.
Planning permission has been granted for a substantial four-bedroom house with an additional annexe and a double garage.
The proposed main dwelling is approximately 2,500 square feet (232 square metres), with the annexe at 300 square feet (28 square metres). The planning permission is said to have no expiry date, and further details can be viewed on the Forest of Dean District Council Planning Portal under reference P1333/18/FUL.
Mains water and electricity are connected to the property, and private drainage is in place.

The village also has Mackenzie Hall, a venue that hosts National Theatre live-stream shows, yoga, and tennis.
A community-owned pub is currently undergoing development. St Briavels, nearby, offers a pre-school and a primary school. Brockweir is located between Chepstow and Monmouth, both roughly eight miles away.
For those commuting, Bristol Parkway Railway Station is about forty minutes away, with London accessible in approximately one hour and fifteen minutes by train.
The property falls under the Forest of Dean District Council.
Directions to the site are provided via local roads from Monmouth, passing landmarks such as Bigsweir Bridge and Brockweir Bridge, with further details available in the listing.
