Six-bed £1.4m country mansion with its own 26-metre MAZE will leave buyers in a puzzle
The stunning property boasts gorgeous views of the South Wales countryside
A £1.4m country house for sale is set to leave buyers puzzled - as it comes complete with its own MAZE.
The six-bedroom country retreat is home to a giant octagonal maze in its stunning grounds.
Owners built the unusual feature using 1,200 yew trees and it takes around ten minutes to complete.
Puzzle-solvers who get to the middle are met by another puzzle - a monkey puzzle tree which is an evergreen tree native to Chile.
The unnamed owner said: "We designed the maze from scratch, actually using an excel spreadsheet to draw it out.
"It is designed on an octagonal base 26 metres across with eight concentric rows of hedge.
"To begin with it had to be well watered and we also laid weed suppressant material along each stretch of trees as they were growing and have subsequently laid grit on the paths to keep the weeds at bay."
The gardens have been professionally landscaped to also include a rose garden, an ornamental pond and a croquet lawn.
The house, called Waterspring, looks out over the countryside near Chepstow, Monmouthshire.
Its owners redeveloped the property in 2002 to make it into a stunning country home.
Behind the solid oak front door is a grand staircase and Italian marble flooring with underfloor heating.
There is access to a study and a formal dining room to the front of the property.
The spacious drawing room has a feature fireplace with a Derbyshire stone surround and mantle.
On the first floor is a master suite with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom.

The house also has five acres of land including paddocks.
