Watercolours, Garway, HR2

Set in an outstanding, elevated location enjoying spectacular countryside views, this delightful 4 bedroomed Country House has been very thoughtfully and tastefully extended and up-graded to a high standard to create a truly characteristic and very spacious family home. The pretty village is within easy reach of Monmouth, Ross and Hereford and has the benefit of wrap around mature gardens, an orchard, a paddock and a unique stone triple garage with room over. Some finishing is required, creating an ideal opportunity to individual style.

It retains delightful character features including extensive exposed beams throughout, tall inglenook fireplace, quarry tiled and wooden boarded floors as well as ledged and braced doors.
