Property Details

Turning off from the village road and down a private track, you feel drawn towards this property and its fabulous views. Perched on the side of a hill and sitting in around 1.5 acres, the cottage overlooks The Black Mountains, The Golden Valley, Hay Bluff with the Brecon Beacons in the distance. The views are truly outstanding with many of the villages and landmarks of this wonderful part of the world on display.

The property itself is a stone-built cottage which sits handsomely in its setting. Entering through the front door and into a handy porch - ideal for taking off muddy boots after long walks in the countryside for which this area of the county is famed - the slate tiled floor continues into the hallway. On the right is a cosy study with log burner which would make an ideal fourth bedroom if required. On the left is the snug/tv room with window looking out over the front of the house and the large driveway.

The hallway leads past the stairs into the kitchen with its sympathetic and neutrally designed units. Boasting a ceramic hob, double oven electric cooker, plenty of workspace and eye level units, the area is further enhanced with a handy storage alcove and the utility room/larder with space for white goods. Finally, there is a convenient downstairs wc and shower room.

Back through the kitchen is the main feature of the ground floor, that of the spacious family/garden room. Heated by an impressive log burner (as well as electric storage heaters) this is a light and airy space whilst still feeling cosy. It really makes the most of the incredible views out to the garden and the valley beyond. With enough space for a dining area and separate seating area, this is the heart of the home. Leading off this space is an office area, again with incredible views.

Upstairs, the property has three double and one single room along with a family bathroom. All rooms, of course benefit from the fabulous views which are such a feature of this lovely property. Access to the small loft space can be gained from the landing.

Outside, the cottage is surrounded by patio areas, perfect for whiling away lazy afternoons. The patios lead on to large gardens, laid mainly to lawn but with established trees, shrubs and flower beds. The lower side of the garden (adjacent to the woods after which the cottage is named) is currently being transformed into a wildflower meadow which complements the mature fruit trees in the orchard area. To the right of the property is a dutch-style greenhouse and shed. Finally, an established flower bed in front of the cottage creates the perfect first impression and warm welcome to this gorgeous property.

Opposite the cottage is the spacious double garage with a storage area/workshop with personnel door. There is further useful storage in the roof space. Subject to the necessary permissions, this could be converted into further accommodation or used as office space. Between the cottage and the garage is a large tarmacadam parking area.

This is a beautiful part of Herefordshire. Whilst feeling very rural, it is still within easy reach of the wonderful City of Hereford and of Ross-On-Wye with its access to the M50 and the wider motorway network. The village sits on a very handy bus route, with an hourly service connecting Ross-on-Wye and Hereford. Sitting in the Steiner School catchment area, and with other good schools nearby, this would make an ideal family home as well as offering a number of opportunities.
