Llangrove

This stunning architect-designed, four-bedroom home - complete with double garage - is tucked away in charming, secluded spot within an idyllic and sought-after village. The detached property boasts striking, far reaching views across the Herefordshire Countryside with the Malvern Hills in the distance.


This substantial four-bedroom home is tucked away in a private spot within a sleepy village but there is a welcoming community around the architect-designed property.
For those who need to leave home for periods of time to travel or enjoy extended holidays, they can have a greater peace-of-mind - as the residents in the idyllic village look out for one another. The detached house has an integral garage and expansive driveway, which would be large enough to accommodate a motor home and there is scope to extend the driveway even further to make room for an American-style recreational vehicle.
The property would also perfectly suit a growing family; of the bedrooms on the first floor, two are almost identical in size which would prevent any arguments between feuding siblings vying for the largest space. It is also worth noting that there is a Church of England primary academy in the village which scored 'Good' across all categories during its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022. For secondary education, the nearby market town of Ross-on-Wye (approximately eight miles away) offers John Kyrle High School whereas Monmouth (approximately six miles away) houses Monmouth Comprehensive School, as well as Haberdashers' Monmouth Schools.
The Copse also boasts striking, far reaching views across the Herefordshire Countryside with the Malvern Hills in the distance. The sitting room - complete with a wood-burning stove - open-plan kitchen/dining room and master bedroom all overlook the stunning surrounding scenery.

Location
Llangrove, a welcoming south Herefordshire village, offers plenty of local amenities, including a Church of England primary school, which carries an 'Outstanding' rating from SIAMS and a 'Good' grading from Ofsted. There is also a popular village hall which hosts many different activities. The Royal Arms at the top of Llangrove is a 17th-century pub and this regularly earns rave reviews online for good food, excellent beer and a welcoming atmosphere. The Great Trewen Milk Shed, situated next to the village hall, near the play park, is also worth a special mention. This self-service vending machine provides fresh, gently pasteurised whole milk along with a small range of groceries such as fresh eggs, cakes, butter and cheese.
Even more amenities, including another excellent primary school, a well-stocked village shop and a reputable MOT centre, can be found in the neighbouring village of Whitchurch two miles away.
Llangrove sits equidistance between the historic market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, which fringe the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The spectacular setting of Symonds Yat, which is one of the most well-known landscapes within the AONB, is a short drive (around ten minutes) from Llangrove. This location is famed for its phenomenal river scenery, woodland expanses and limestone cliffs. There are several riverside pubs and restaurants which are exceedingly popular with residents and tourists alike - and a wide range of outdoor pursuits; walking, cycling, canoeing and wild-swimming, are easily accessible.
Llangrove also boasts excellent transport links. Two miles away, motorists can join the A40; the eastbound road provides a direct route to Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds whereas the westbound route heads towards the M4 at Newport, giving access to Cardiff and London. In addition, the M50 motorway begins in Ross-on-Wye nine miles away, giving good access to the M5 - leading to Birmingham to the north and Bristol to the south.
More comprehensive facilities can be found in the surrounding cathedral cities of Hereford, Worcester and Gloucester and the Regency Spa town of Cheltenham.

The home at a glance
The Copse is light and airy home, tastefully styled in a timelessly elegant, neutral colour palette, designed with exceptional quality and true attention to detail.
The reception hall sets the scene that the bright and spacious house has to offer. There is a lovely oak floor, which flows throughout the ground floor and, from here, a staircase leads to the first floor - giving a useful under-the-stairs closed storage area.
A set of double glass doors in the reception hall lead into the fabulous sitting room. Plenty of natural light pours into this space and a set of bi-fold doors frame the magnificent views of rolling country hills. These doors lead out to a patio which offers a great entertaining space for those warm summer months, but The Copse is an equally divine setting for those cosy winter evenings, as the sitting room carries a modern wood burning stove.
A further set of double glass doors on the opposing side of the entrance hall lead into the dining kitchen. This offers plenty of space for dining and there are French doors leading out onto the patio. The kitchen is well appointed with a range of white high-gloss units with black granite worktops. There is also a breakfast bar, display cabinets and Franke sink with mixer tap. Integrated appliances include: AEG five-ring induction hob with extractor, an AEG double built-in oven, a wine cooler and a double fridge.
Beyond the kitchen, there is a utility room fitted with units and worktop matching those found in the kitchen, plus another Franke sink and a double built-in Freezer. A courtesy door from here leads into the double garage and separate door gives access to the front of the property.
A small hall on the ground floor leads to a study which could potentially offer a fifth bedroom and this is positioned next to the downstairs shower room, fitted with a two-piece suite and corner shower cubicle.
The galleried landing to the first floor is beautifully bright, and features a tall window on the half landing. Of the four double bedrooms and main family bathroom, the master is an exquisite expanse which is light and fresh. A set of French windows lead to a Juliette balcony which captures the splendid surrounding scenery. Stylish John Lewis wardrobes have been fitted to one wall and the en-suite is fitted with a contemporary two-piece suite with a large vanity basin unit and a double-walk-in shower with drencher power shower.
The second largest bedroom features an en-suite, containing a two-piece suite and double walk in shower with drencher power shower. The remaining two bedrooms are almost identical in size and feature delightful dormer windows.

Outside
Entering the property from a private lane leads through a five-bar gate onto the driveway. This provides ample parking and leads to the double garage which has an internal courtesy door and a high roof line which is partially boarded, creating a great space for storage.
The garden to the front is flanked with closed-board fencing and a path meanders through the gate to the rear garden, where one is met with the stunning backdrop of the far-reaching views.
A large patio encompasses the rear of the property and offers a great spot for relaxing and entertaining family and friends. From here, a pathway leads to the level lawns and to one side of the property, there is are raised vegetable beds and, on the other side, there is a good gravelled area.
