Believed to be dated back to the 18th Century and then extended in the 1960's and 1970's, Riverside Cottage is nestled in the coveted area of Kings Caple and presents a charming blend of countryside allure and contemporary comforts. Upon entering, you're greeted by a luminous and spacious entrance hall, setting the tone for the expansive family home that lies ahead.
To the right, the inviting lounge beckons with its cozy fireplace and log burner, promising evenings of warmth and relaxation. The heart of the home unfolds seamlessly with an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting area, stretching across the rear of the property. Here, French doors and bi-folding doors frame panoramic views of the rear garden, flooding the space with natural light.
The dining area accommodates a generous table, complemented by a remarkable pantry for added storage convenience. The well-appointed kitchen boasts modern amenities, including space for an American fridge freezer, dishwasher, and Aga, along with integrated double ovens and a Belfast sink. A separate hall, accessed from the kitchen, leads to a utility room-ideal for housing laundry appliances-and a spacious wet room with fitted amenities, accessible from the rear.
Ascending the stairs, an impressive galleried landing grants access to four double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom, positioned on the west side, offers serene views of the sun terrace. Adjacent is the first bathroom, complete with a sink, toilet, and bath with an overhead shower, ripe for conversion into an ensuite if desired. The sun terrace, accessible from the landing, provides elevated vistas of the countryside, offering a tranquil retreat.
Outside, the property boasts a generous driveway, accommodating multiple vehicles, and a detached double garage with a roller door. This also benefits from both power and a water supply. Additional outbuildings, currently serving as storage and a workshop, offer further versatility. The expansive garden wraps around the rear, featuring a patio area with a swimming pool, perfect for outdoor gatherings and leisure. A convenient storage space houses swimming gear, while a summer house, equipped with power and lighting, serves as a tranquil home office. Beyond the pool lies yet more garden space, brimming with potential. Further afield, is the Sellack suspension footbridge which allows access over the river Wye to the countryside. Here you can explore the picturesque villages and walks.
Overall, Riverside Cottage presents an exceptional opportunity for countryside living, coupled with the promise of further customization. With its abundance of space, modern conveniences, and picturesque surroundings, it's a haven for those seeking a harmonious blend of comfort and rural charm.
