Lilac Cottage is set in the most beautiful and secluded location, while still being a short distance from the City Of Hereford.
The cottage sits two tenths of a mile down a country lane that provides exclusive access to three properties. This home enjoys exceptional privacy and wildlife whilst not being completely isolated, Aconbury Wood offers walks from your doorstep. The nearby Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers a beautiful haven for activities such as walking, cycling and good outriding.
The principal residence dates back to approximately 1905, and comes with self contained detached annexe. Lilac Cottage itself sits in around three quarters of an acre of gardens, which are mainly laid to lawn, bordered by mature trees and hedgerows. The rest of the land is made up of a paddock. Twyford brook runs along the Eastern and Northern edge of the property, providing access to water for livestock.
From the kitchen diner, double doors lead out to a large patio area with pergola overhead draped in a wisteria making it an ideal space for entertaining. There are a plethora of plants and herbaceous borders.
From the main gate you enter the premises over a substantial gravel drive which leads to the garage and annexe directly in front of you and then sweeps round to the rear of the home.
From the parking you walk to the rear porch/utility which provides a useful space with a range of units and nice entrance to the home. This leads you to one of many impressive spaces in the whole property, the kitchen dining area.
At nearly 40ft across, the space on offer here is impressive and could be utilised in different ways. This superior sized integrated kitchen has ample storage with multiple base and wall units, Belfast sink with drainer, and tiled floor. A feature of the room is the exposed brickwork which wraps around a built-in space for the Aga. The dining area has vaulted ceiling and thrives from having ample light pouring through several windows and the French doors opening out into the garden make the space a delight to live in.
From the dining area, through a doorway you enter into a substantial living room with inset fireplace and space for a stove, French doors out of the property onto the patio are just some of the features on offer. The front hall is also accessed from the kitchen which has lovely flag stone flooring and is large enough to be used as another room in its own right. The hall also gives access to the front of the property and into a further reception which is a bright space with woodburning stove as the focal point.
As well as the superior living space a nice feature throughout the home is the ceiling height and bright nature of every room.
Off the end of the kitchen there is a recently fitted shower room and office which complete the ground floor in the main house.
The stairs rise from the hall to the landing which gives access to all rooms. There are five bedrooms in all with three great double bedrooms and two smaller double bedrooms, it is worth noting every window is a postcard view of the countryside. There is ample storage with one of the larger bedrooms having built in wardrobes and a large airing cupboard off the landing. The family bathroom is also off the landing which has a large shower.
Detached from the main house there is a separate annexe. This has recently been converted with a modern kitchen living space and door through to shower room. Attached to this is a large garage ideal for a workshop.
The land is made up of various different areas. The formal gardens amount to nearly 1 acre, there is an orchard and a large paddock opposite is approximately three acres.
You can reach Hereford town centre in less than 15 minutes for all local amenities including supermarkets Tesco and Sainsbury's, an abundance of restaurants and bars, as well as schools including Little Dewchurch CE Primary and The Hereford Academy.
