A GRAND residence with panoramic views of the Bristol Channel.

Inspired by the Venetian architect Andrea Palliado, this imposing country manor was constructed in about 2005 in his renowned Palladian style.

This seven-bedroom, detached property in Tidenham, near Chepstow, and is on the market for £3,795,000.

Tidenham is a small hamlet located in Gloucestershire just over the border from the market town of Chepstow.

There are plenty of schools nearby, including an independent prep school in Tutshill and also the independent Monmouth Boys School and Haberdasher’s Monmouth School for Girls.

The property offers a versatile arrangement of formal and informal living, incorporating both guest and staff requirements.

The opulent feel begins as the stone pillared wrought iron electric gates open onto a gravelled drive leading to the landscaped centre piece of a turning circle.

The elevated positioning of this residence gives you outstanding panoramic views of the Bristol Channel and the formal landscaped grounds.

The colonnaded vestibule with balcony above leads through to an inlaid marble floored reception hall.

Completing the welcome, there is a bespoke sweeping staircase with wrought iron, brass balustrade and handrail curve up to the galleried landing. It also includes ornate ceiling detail and glistening chandeliers.

There are three principal reception rooms.

The drawing room features a mottled marble fireplace as the winter focal point.

Come summer, the double bay doors open to the south east facing terrace with commanding views of the channel.

The generously proportioned dining room features a further mottled marble fireplace and views over the grounds.

The sitting room has a more contemporary fireplace and is directly accessible to the terrace and kitchen/breakfast room.

At the heart of this home is the vastly proportioned kitchen/breakfast room, boasting extensive integrated appliances - all set within the handcrafted units.

From here, you approach the Palladian style conservatory overlooking the manicured lawns.

A study with built in book shelves is located off the rear hall, which further leads to a one bedroom annexe ideal for a house keeper.

The floor tiled lower ground level retains a constant temperature and is versatile in use. Currently, there is a wine cellar and a games room, which could be turned into a gym or media room.

The first floor has six bedroom suites - the master delighting in stunning views.

The master also features a fully fitted dressing room and ensuite bathroom.

Two of the further five suites include walk in wardrobes. They all include an ensuite bath or shower rooms.

Outside, the property provides seven acres of tendered grounds with imported marble terraces. There are formal lawns, woodland and manicured gardens.

The creative designs showcase ornate topiaries, low box hedging and espaliers running alongside established stone walls, regimented pathways and the quintessential croquet lawn.

A gated yard provides secure parking with a triple car garage. Set within the grounds stands a fully refurbished coach house providing the option of potential rental income, use as an office or annexe.

In addition there are further outbuildings, including stone built barns, a tractor store/stabling and a rundown cottage with further potential.
