Woodbank is a property built for entertaining, hence its current use as a thriving boutique venue for weddings and events. The property has been fully renovated to satisfy the needs of commercial clients but retains the charm and ambiance of a family home. It has been a cherished family home for the current owners and would be again for those who do not have the desire or passion for the commercial element.



The original house dates back to the late 19th century with a full refurbishment and substantial extensions incorporating previous outbuildings in 2009 / 2010. This created approximately 9580 sq ft of accommodation. Many of the ground floor rooms have access onto the sprawling terrace that wraps around three sides of the property. It retains many Georgian style period features such as high ceilings, decorative plasterwork and ornate fireplaces, alongside mod cons such as underfloor heating throughout.



Step through the pretty vestibule and into the grand reception hall with bespoke American Oak staircase. Two sets of French doors open out onto the side and rear terraces. Just off the reception hall is The Library Bar where drinks can be enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere or guests can mingle within the reception hall and out onto the terraces during the summer months. Practical facilities such as cloakrooms are available in this area.



There are four further reception rooms on the ground floor all having Georgian style period features. A cosy sitting room, a drawing room with an ornate fireplace matching the one in the formal dining room. The formal dining room can seat 20 for dinner. All three rooms have direct access onto the rear terrace where spectacular views can be appreciated. The fourth reception room is utilised as an office.



The impressive bespoke kitchen was designed by Jeremy Davis, a designer and joiner of bespoke fine furniture. All the white goods are hidden behind floor to ceiling cabinets. There are two Belfast sinks under one of many windows overlooking the garden and grounds and an Aga, electric hob, integral fridge and freezer and a deep fat fryer. There is space for a substantial breakfast table and a central island. Doors open out onto the terrace. Opposite the kitchen is a generous utility room.



Stairs lead down to the lower ground floor lobby which in turn leads to the leisure area, two ground floor bedrooms and a Jack and Jill bathroom. Internal doors also allow access into the double garage from the lobby.



The leisure area is currently used as a snooker room, gym and cinema. There is space for a full-sized snooker table.



From the reception hall climb the spellbinding American Oak staircase up to the first floor landing.



The first floor offers five spacious bedrooms each having their own en-suite facilities. Of particular note is the principal bedroom with Juliet balcony and breath-taking views.



OUTSIDE



Woodbank is situated in a private but commanding position, centrally located within its grounds, approaching 20 acres. The land comprises of a 5 acre field, approximately 7 acres of woodland and terraced lawned gardens. The gardens run all the way down to the banks of the River Usk.



A long driveway from the entrance sweeps past the purpose built guest parking area, accommodating in the region of 20 - 25 cars, and on to further parking at the front of the residence, where you are greeted by an attractive fountain. There is access at the front aspect to a store room, leading to the cellar.



To the north of the property is the enclosed 5 acre field with a public footpath skirting the far boundary. The woodland wrapping around the southern boundary provides the property with much privacy. The commanding position allows for magnificent panoramic views of the Welsh countryside and of course the famous Celtic Manor 2010 Ryder Cup Golf Course.
