Overview
Woodland Cottage occupies high ground some 3 miles south of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye, and is within approx. 15 minutes drive of motorway connections. The cottage is approached latterly along a half mile, single track, unmade lane which terminates at the cottage. The property thus has the wonderful benefits of seclusion, yet is readily accessible for most vehicles, despite it not being tarmac all the way! Perfect perhaps for a writer, artist or musician as a get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Since acquiring the property some four years ago, the current owners have carried out significant improvement works. These include the installation of a superb “Clearview “ woodburning stove, refitted kitchen with the inclusion of a woodfired/multifuel Rayburn Range, the addition of a new porch to the front elevation, and the construction of an appealing wooden garden studio positioned on stilts to the far end of the only area of level lawn. This potential office has power & Wi-Fi.
The property stands to the north eastern corner of its acreage of sloping woodland, and they are thus particularly well stocked with timber for both wood burning appliances.
For good or ill, deer regularly wander around the grounds, and for those who enjoy birds and other wildlife, there are many delightful walks in the immediate vicinity.
The principal ground floor accommodation comprises a lovely, 27' open plan living area, with a most attractive beamed ceiling and a stone fireplace with wood burner to one end. The opposite end of the ground floor comprises the kitchen. To the rear of the ground floor is the bathroom and w.c. and rear hall/utility room, whilst to the first floor are two bedrooms, a small study and a capacious eaves storage area.
To the front of the property is a gravelled parking/turning area, with attractive, curved stone steps bordered by shrub beds leading up the slope to the property, a stone path continuing around to the rear door. The area of land immediately adjacent to the property is laid mainly to lawn, with part of the front wall of the house being adorned by climbing clematis. Beside the rear door is a capacious log store, and not far away a garden shed approx. 12' x 6' with double doors.
To the far end of the lawned garden is a recently constructed timber garden studio, standing on stilts, with a considerable amount of storage area beneath. There is a small external balcony to this studio, and with a little refreshing, this could be a delightful spot from which to work, paint, listen to music etc.
