Wye Valley Georgian manor house with 29 BEDROOMS could be yours for £2.75m

A 29-bedroom Grade II-listed Georgian manor house in the Wye Valley could be yours for £2,750,000. 

Pengethley Manor, a former hotel, has 29 bathrooms and five grand reception rooms, and is currently being used as a private home. 

The grounds of the property span 13 acres and stand a few miles north of the historic market town of Ross-on-Wye. 

The main house dates from around 1823 and boasts well-proportioned rooms with high ceilings and large windows.

While previously used as a hotel, Pengethley Manor has, at various times, also been used as a wedding venue and conference entre. 

Opposite the large dining room there is a bar and games room which opens out to a sizeable outdoor terrace.  

Jaw-dropping: Pengethley Manor is a Grade-II listed Georgian country house

‘Boasting 29 bedrooms across the main house and two annexes along with impressive reception rooms and gardens, this property offers unparalleled flexibility.

‘Whether envisioned as a luxurious private residence a boutique hotel, restaurant, school, care home, wedding venue or even a corporate team bonding retreat, it’s the perfect canvas for an aspirational buyer.’

He added: ‘I actually had an enquiry recently from somebody who liked the idea of hosting Bridgerton style parties here.

‘There is also ample space in the outbuildings for office accommodation, so it would be well-suited as a centre for small businesses and start-ups too.

‘There are also excellent links to Birmingham, Bristol and the Cotswolds on its doorstep.’

How to find a new mortgage

Borrowers who need a mortgage because their current fixed rate deal is ending, or they are buying a home, should explore their options as soon as possible.

What if I need to remortgage? 

Borrowers should compare rates, speak to a mortgage broker and be prepared to act.

Homeowners can lock in to a new deal six to nine months in advance, often with no obligation to take it.

Most mortgage deals allow fees to be added to the loan and only be charged when it is taken out. This means borrowers can secure a rate without paying expensive arrangement fees.

Keep in mind that by doing this and not clearing the fee on completion, interest will be paid on the fee amount over the entire term of the loan, so this may not be the best option for everyone. 

What if I am buying a home? 

Those with home purchases agreed should also aim to secure rates as soon as possible, so they know exactly what their monthly payments will be. 

Buyers should avoid overstretching and be aware that house prices may fall, as higher mortgage rates limit people’s borrowing ability and buying power.

How to compare mortgage costs 

The best way to compare mortgage costs and find the right deal for you is to speak to a broker.

This is Money has a long-standing partnership with fee-free broker L&C, to provide you with fee-free expert mortgage advice.
