Located in the heart of this highly desirable village, a recently refurbished and improved pretty detached cottage full of character and charm, with garage and parking.

The very desirable village of Dorstone lies in the heart of the Golden Valley and is surrounded by picturesque countryside. The village has a thriving community centred around the village church with a cricket club, a public house and village hall. Further facilities are available at Peterchurch which includes the well-regarded Fairfield school. More extensive facilities are available at Hereford and the ever-popular market town of Hay on Wye.

The Palace is a lovely period cottage which has been much improved by the current owners and now offers very comfortable living accommodation which benefits from oil fired central heating, a wealth of character features, including a large inglenook fireplace, an outdoor kitchen ideal for entertaining, and a modern steel framed timber garage /workshop.
