DESCRIPTION: The Blue Barn occupies a truly stunning location approached via a heavily wooded lane in the heart of the beautiful Wye Valley. A secure gated driveway sweeps past heavily stocked shrub borders to an impressive, wide pavioured courtyard parking area to the front of the property. Immediately one is struck by the sense of peace and tranquillity and the extraordinary explosion of colour provided by the incredible array of Heathers, Azaleas, Choisya and evergreens of every hue. The house sits in an area of outstanding natural beauty and built in a Scandinavian style, the home enjoys terrific privacy with private grounds of some 9 acres surrounded by the ancient woodlands and the Tintern forest. The house was built in 1990 and offers exceptionally generous accommodation with nine en suite rooms on three levels. The house would be perfect for those seeking space for a growing family but given that in the past it has been run as a successful Bed & Breakfast business and business hospitality venture, it clearly offers great potential in this regard as well. The grounds have been carefully planted to keep the maintenance levels as low as possible, and the organic orchard immediately adjacent to the home comprises of a total of 56 trees with Apple, Pear, Greengage and Plum. An all weather tennis court is set to the front of the home with triple garage adjacent and a most useful large recreation room above which would make a fine home office if so desired. The home is fully protected by a security system with Continental security shutters on the first and lower ground floors and a four KWP solar PV system providing a useful contribution to running costs. A few gentle steps lead to the front door with Danish hardwood flooring running throughout the ground floor. The dual aspect drawing room opens to a wide south facing raised terrace with archway to the 20 ft kitchen/dining room, well fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units. There are seven bedrooms arranged over ground and first floor with a lower ground floor providing a separately accessed laundry room and independent two bedroom apartment. This features Spanish marble en suites, sauna cabin and small kitchen area all sitting beneath the ground floor terrace. To the rear of the brick built garage outbuilding is a large workshop area that had plumbing installed as was originally intended as a gymnasium with wash room facilities.

  • Dr Simon Sandall – University of Winchester Folklore, Collective
    Dr Simon Sandall – University of Winchester Folklore, collective memory and popular protest in seventeenth-century Forest of Dean The free miners of the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire have long claimed that their customary mining rights were granted to them by Edward I in return for military service at the Siege of Berwick in 1296. Whatever the origin of these rights, they defined the relative autonomy of this industrial group and were regulated through the strict monopoly of the Mine Law Court, which met before a jury of 12, 24, or 48 miners according to circumstance and held a strict monopoly of jurisdiction over this industry. To be a free miner, ‘ancient’ custom dictated, one had to have been born within the hundred of St Briavels, to be the son of a free miner, and to have worked in a mine for a year and a day. These miners were also part of a wider community that had traditionally depended on a complex set of common rights accommodated by royal forest management. The seventeenth century witnessed a two- pronged assault on forest custom from both changing Crown policies and novel opportunities for private projectors, several of whom were members of the local gentry. These encroachments not only impeded the exercise of mining custom, but also disrupted common rights to grazing and fuel. The reliance of miners on both sets of rights, together with their symbolic position within the forest commonalty, foreshadows their heavy involvement in organising resistance to the enclosure and privatisation of forest wastes. Two major episodes occurred in the early seventeenth century in reaction to this breach of ‘ancient’ forest custom.

    National Character 105. Forest of Dean and Lower Wye Area profile: Supporting documents www.gov.uk/natural-england 1 National Character 105. Forest of Dean and Lower Wye Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform theirdecision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The informationthey contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.
