On the south side of the village a pleasant walk takes you to the river Wye where sand martins & kingfishers can be seen along its banks. Nestled in the Wye valley, it is surrounded by lovely areas to explore with the Hay Festival on your doorstep. With Moccas Park, The National Trust & Ludlow castle within easy reach. If you enjoy music, eating off grid & an abundance of wildlife & country walks you'll be quite at home. The local spa garage & shops are only a short drive away & all the major food stores will deliver to your doorstep. Food lovers will enjoy Ludlow & Hay farmers markets & Oakchurch farm shop on the A438. And the Carrot & Wine food barn by the church in Whitney & Wye, which also serves as a handy Post office with banking facilities.
There are excellent schools locally & a school mini bus from the top of the lane. Situated within easy distance of Hay on Wye, Hereford & Leominster. To the north, Kington offers a popular garden centre, water gardens & stunning views for walkers.
Local doctors surgeries are at Kington, Staunton on Wye or Weobley. Dentists are found in either Hay, Weobley or Hereford.
The property's abundant parking space is enclosed by a mixture of hedges, brick wall, and fencing, with two separate gated entranceways. It also has wide gate access to the rear garden.
Stepping through the white double doors, there is a useful entrance porch, with space to kick off shoes/boots before walking on the well-kept wooden flooring of the main entrance hall. With further storage under the carpeted stairs, on the right hand side, there is the first room accommodating generous living space. This is a very light room, with large glass pane-effect double glazed UPVC windows overlooking the carpark and floor to ceiling sliding glass doors overlooking the outside patio space. A central chimneybreast accommodates a feature central fireplace.
Moving back into the hallway, the kitchen can be accessed towards the rear of the house. It has a large area for worktop preparation space, as well as room for a small dining table or breakfast bar. While the units would benefit from modernisation, the range of floor and ceiling storage, electric hob, and sink overlooking the garden, gives the space the potential to be a real social hub of the property. This, combined with off-shooting access to a further downstairs reception room and a utility, do make the kitchen a versatile blank canvas.
The further living space accessed via the kitchen is generously sized, with two double windows, making it the perfect either dining room or snug area, depending on preference.
Moving upstairs, there is a large landing area with built in storage space. All the bedrooms are big spaces that can easily incorporate double beds, wardrobes, side tables etc. With the rear bedrooms featuring large windows that enjoy views over the garden and further land owned by the property. The left of these two rooms has access into the annexe. The front facing rooms have a similarly light feel, one of which has large fitted wardrobe space that features mirrored glass sliding doors. The large family bathroom is well-equipped clean suite with walk-in shower, bath, wash basin and floating mirror, WC and bidet.
To access the rear garden, moving through the utility adjoining the kitchen into a further utility space with a downstairs WC and space for washer and dryer by the rear door. With a mixture of raised beds, lawn space, and patio, the garden is a very good size. It has a wrap around patio to the right, which accommodates the sliding doors mentioned above in the main living room, as well as with the large gates for vehicle access from the front parking spaces.
Towards the rear of the garden are larger patches of gravel, with a single-storey brick garage on the right hand-side. This has an electric connection and well kept sloping roof, accessible via side access. At the rear of the enclosed main garden is a summer house with adjacent pergola. Wrapping around the property is additional land, colloquially named as the 'Orchard Area,' in part due to the plethora of fruit trees, with further lawn space, a small greenhouse, and garden shed.
The additional two fields, which bring the total land afforded by the property to 4 acres, are separated by a hedge down the middle, with gated access between them. The left field is accessed through the Orchard Area and the right field has separate access by the side of the property itself.
The separate 2 bed annexe features a large downstairs living room, with two large modern UPVC windows, wall space for a TV and the ability to accommodate a couple of large sofas. A door leads into the kitchen-diner that features space for a good sized table and would allow any residents independence with space for a fridge, ovens, and a washing machine, providing the annexe potential to be used for another member of family or, further, as a passive income generator. Moreover, the door that joins into the main property, means this space could be incorporated into the rest of the property.
Upstairs features a good sized double and generous single bedroom with a family bathroom, benefitting from a wash basin, WC, and large walk-in shower.
