This exceptional, detached property occupies a peaceful rural setting in the highly favoured village of Kingsthorne which lies between the Cathedral City of Hereford (6 miles) and the market town of Ross-on-Wye (9 miles) with the M50 motorway link (junction 3) with good connectivity to Birmingham and South Wales. Within the Parish of Kingsthorne there is a bus service and a village hall and further amenities are available in the neighbouring village of Much Birch where there is also a public house, church, a primary school and doctors’ surgery.

Set within just under an acre of beautiful gardens and grounds, The Swiss Cottage is a charming detached property that perfectly blends the character of its original stone construction with contemporary living. The cottage was thoughtfully extended in 2017 to create a spacious open-plan kitchen/living area and an impressive master bedroom suite, making it a truly special and versatile home.

Surrounded by its own grounds, the property is predominantly laid to lawn and includes mature shrubs and trees, a vegetable patch, a greenhouse, a large parking area, and a garage. There is also a delightful decking area with a pergola, offering a tranquil space to enjoy the peaceful, secluded setting.

Internally, the property is immaculate and beautifully presented. A welcoming entrance porch with exposed stonework leads into the heart of the home: a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining room with space for a snug area. This space is a perfect blend of style and function, with a log burner providing warmth, and tiled flooring that flows seamlessly throughout the ground floor. Patio doors open to the decked area, offering an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen is fitted with classic shaker-style units, granite worktops, and a central island with a breakfast bar. It also boasts high-end built-in appliances, including an oven, microwave, induction hob, and dishwasher, with space for a large fridge/freezer. A handy utility room off the kitchen provides additional space for appliances and has a sink unit, with a door leading to the garden.

The living room is located in the older part of the cottage, retaining much of its original character. Featuring an original front door, two windows (one with a window seat), and a large fireplace with a woodburning stove, the room offers a warm, inviting atmosphere. Off the living room, there is an inner hallway with access to a downstairs WC and a washroom.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing is a spacious area with vaulted ceiling, ideal for use as a home office or quiet retreat. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are both generous double rooms, while the master suite is truly luxurious. It features a beautiful shower room with dual sinks, a WC, and a large shower, leading up to the impressive bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and a raised roll-top bath, adding a sense of luxury and charm to the space.
