Location
The Queen's Head Hotel is prominently situated on St James Street in the historic market town of Monmouth, occupying a prominent corner position within the town centre. Monmouth is located at the confluence of the Rivers Monnow and Wye, approximately 2 miles from the England and Wales border, and serves as a popular gateway to the Wye Valley and surrounding countryside.
Monmouth is a well established tourist destination, renowned for its rich history, attractive town centre and range of independent retailers, cafés, restaurants and visitor attractions. The town is home to Monmouth Castle, the birthplace of King Henry V, and the historic Monnow Bridge, one of the few remaining fortified medieval bridges in Britain.
The property is situated less than 100 metres from the River Wye and is well placed to capitalise on tourism associated with the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the nearby Forest of Dean. The location provides convenient access to a range of regional attractions and outdoor pursuits, including walking, cycling, canoeing and heritage tourism.
Monmouth benefits from good road connectivity via the A40, providing links to the M4 and wider motorway network. The town is situated approximately 16 miles north of Chepstow, 18 miles south of Hereford, 26 miles west of Gloucester and 36 miles north east of Cardiff.
Tenure
The property is held Freehold under Title Number WA499580.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
