Location
The village of Orcop includes The Fountain Inn, a traditional village pub. There is also a network of footpaths surrounding the village that wind up the hills into the neighbouring areas of Garway and St Weonards.
The nearest shop is Carrot & Wine Stores in the nearby village of Wormelow, around two miles away, and this stocks locally produced food and drink.
More comprehensive amenities, including supermarkets, shops, leisure facilities and schools can be found further afield, in the cathedral city of Hereford and market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth.

The home at a glance
This stone-built, lime-rendered property dates to 1850. The home is set off a country lane, behind two sets of five-bar gates. A solid oak door leads into an attractive entrance porch which carries a timbered vaulted ceiling, offering a delightful first impression.
There is a striking sitting room found beyond here, and this showcases the rustic character of the cottage wonderfully. There is an inglenook fireplace made from red sandstone, a richly coloured rock that is synonymous with the local area. This houses a woodburning stove - a staple of country life. There are various other eye-catching details, such as a wooden floor and a timbered ceiling. At the far end of the room, this rises into a vaulted feature, creating a grand space which presently serves as a formal dining room.
Two steps lead up to a hallway, which gives access to a utility cupboard on the left - giving space and plumbing for a washer/dryer. Next door, there is a family bathroom - complete with a freestanding bath, a walk-in shower, a vanity unit, and a WC.
Further along, there is an expansive dining kitchen, which is streamed with plenty of natural light, owing to its conservatory extension. There are various country features, including a flagstone floor, an oil-fired Rayburn cooker that provides the heating and hot water, a Belfast sink, wooden units and worktops and a Butcher's block. There is also space to accommodate both a dishwasher and a fridge.
The dining area either leads out to the garden, through a set of French doors or, to the right, there is a door leading into a dual-aspect double bedroom which has an en-suite shower room. This leads into a second reception room, which presently serves as a serene study as it overlooks the sunny rear garden.
The first floor of the property offers two further bedrooms, the largest of which has fitted wardrobes on either side of the room, a pitched ceiling and two Velux windows which let plenty of natural light cascade into the space. The smaller bedroom could serve as a single bedroom, nursery, or office.
The garden wraps around the front, side, and rear of the property. At the front, there is a lawn, mature shrubs, and high hedges to give privacy. In terms of parking, there are two off-road spaces, one of which is gravelled and one of which is paved.
A gate leads to the south-facing rear garden which is filled with birdsong. Pathways meander around a level lawn and a variety of mature trees including a Scots Pine, Maple, Holly, Rowan, Damson, and Yew. It is also worth noting that, in addition to the extensive raised bed kitchen gardens, there is an assortment of fruit trees, giving plums and apples. There are also various outbuildings including a greenhouse, a log store, a substantial shed, and a summerhouse with a veranda which beautifully catches the evening sun.
