Location & Description
This delightful, stone built period cottage occupies a wonderfully secluded location a little over a mile north west of the riverside village of Hoarwithy, the village being some 6 miles north west of Ross-on-Wye and the M50. Constructed in 1833, the cottage has been beautifully refurbished by the current owners and has a delightful stream way below it near the front boundary. The county town and City of Hereford lies some 8 miles to the north, and the market towns of Ledbury and Monmouth are both within approx. 25 mins drive. The property enjoys a sunny south westerly aspect, has a fine flagstone sun terrace and adjacent gardens, together with an excellent gravelled parking area towards the lower boundary.

Living Room & Dining Room
The living room has exposed ceiling timbering, a wooden fireplace surround and a fine, recessed wood burning stove. Oak flooring, wall mounted uplighter and window to front elevation. The dining room also has exposed ceiling beams, wall mounted uplighter, understairs cupboard and window to front elevation.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room
The Kitchen/Breakfast room has an extensive range of Shaker style units beneath fine wooden worktops with a number of integrated appliances. Country Farmhouse Slate flooring and double glazed French doors onto the adjoining sun terrace. Adjacent is the laundry/utility room and beyond is the most useful ground floor cloaks and w.c.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms
Both bedrooms have period fireplace surrounds and exceptionally attractive exposed ceiling beams. Close by is the well appointed bath/shower room and w.c.

Outside
The approach drive terminates in a generous gravelled parking/manoeuvring area with stone steps leading up to the impressive covered porch and part glazed front door. Areas of lawn flank this approach path, and also extend towards the northern boundary, whilst at a lower level to the extreme west lies a delightful stream.
Grey Sandstone paving from the Black Mountain Quarries adjoins virtually the whole of the front wall of the cottage and this is a delightfully private area in which to sit out and take in available sunshine

The Village of Hoarwithy
The riverside village of Hoarwithy lies some 6 miles north west of Ross-on-Wye and the M50 and has at its centre the well known pub the New Harp. Not far away is the former toll bridge crossing the River Wye, although these days tolls are no longer exacted! More impressive however is the church of St Catherines, built in the 1880's by the noted architect JP Seddon. Most unusually, the style is south Italian Romanesque and the Vicar who commissioned this notable structure was the Reverend William Poole, Vicar of Hoarwithy and Hentland from 1854 to 1901. He also built the school, and the Village reading room. For those who enjoy birdwatching, fishing or canoeing, the meandering River Wye flowing through the village offers a superb facility for those pastimes.
