Summary
East Side Cottage occupies high ground within walking distance of the sought after Village of Goodrich, some 5 miles southwest of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye and approx. 7 miles northeast of the historic town of Monmouth. The final approach to the property is via a single track lane which terminates in a gravelled circulation area 100 yards or so beyond the cottage.
Probably constructed in the first half of the 19th century, the current owners have carried out extensive refurbishment and improvement works since their acquisition, and the property now offers most comfortable and appealing four bedroom accommodation which is both centrally heated and double glazed.

There is a welcoming reception hall with oak flooring and good light admittance, from which doors lead into the outstanding 39' living/dining area. This most appealing room is partially sub divided with open framed exposed timber work, the living section having fitted carpets and a Fireline wood burning stove, whilst the dining section has Karndean flooring and a Clearview wood burning stove. Not far away is the 24' kitchen/breakfast room, with masses of cupboards, a huge 5 ring gas hob with full width extractor hood over and AEG double oven/grill and dishwater opposite. This room has multiple downlighter spots to the ceiling and is a splendid kitchen for those who enjoy their cooking! Positioned just off the rear porch is a neatly installed cloakroom and wc, with well laid out utility/laundry area adjacent. Positioned off the pleasingly light landing are four bedrooms, the bathroom and wc, and the excellent ensuite bathroom to the master bedroom. Both bathrooms are particularly well appointed.
To the east side of the gravelled approach lane is a grassy paddock, with a covered log store adjacent to the rear stone wall. Paved steps lead down to the paddock and towards one side of the boundary are two wooden outbuildings, and opposite a field shelter. The paddock is currently grazed by 2 pet sheep. Positioned alongside the cottage is a generous parking space and alongside same a detached garage with both light and power.
From the covered porch over the main approach door, an external pathway and steps lead up via paving slabs to an area of level lawn, which is bounded to the front and sides by a wooden picket fence, and to the rear by a grassy bank planted with a mature Bay tree and further shrubs. Wooden steps lead up to a decking platform approx. 20' x 6', and from here there are fine views across the River Wye towards wooded Chase Hill, and with further hills in the distance. Behind the decking platform is an aluminium framed greenhouse, and at yet another higher level, a wooden garden shed. There are further shrubs on this sloping area of ground, whilst further timber steps lead up to a plateau on the top of the hill. Here there are several fine mature trees including Beech and others. Wooden fencing nearby delineates the area owned by the Coppett Hill Trust, an area conserved for the good of the neighbourhood. Views from the plateau are extensive to both the east and west, and this is a splendid spot for a picnic, BBQ or similar. We believe the area of land in total both to the front and rear of the Cottage extends to approx. 9/10ths of an acre.

Directions
If approaching from the centre of Goodrich village, take the ascending lane from the village towards Coppett Hill bearing left at the first available opportunity and continuing up this council maintained road until one levels out. Shortly after a telephone box on the left, carefully take the acute right hand turning up a steep, single track lane. Proceed to the top of the slope and continue onwards as the lane levels out, when East Side Cottage will be seen on the left hand side opposite double wooden gates opening to a paddock on your right.
