The attractive house stands proudly, overlooking its neatly kept lawns and enjoying a sweeping panoramic outlook across the Severn valley and the rolling hills beyond<br/><br/>During the day, it is not traffic noise that carries on the breeze but the gentle sounds of nature; the sheep and cattle in neighbouring fields, birds in the hedgerows and in summer the shrilling calls of acrobatic swifts, along with the darting flight and calls of swallows and house martins overhead. Throughout the year, red kites and buzzards can also be seen circling gracefully above<br/><br/>By night, Rholau becomes a superb location for stargazing.
