Walterstone, Hereford, HR2

This charming and hugely versatile property is situated in a truly idyllic location within the small parish of Walterstone, on the beautiful Herefordshire / Monmouthshire border, an area noted for its outstanding natural beauty. The property is surrounded by farmland and enjoys distant panoramic views across the stunning, surrounding countryside towards the famous Black Mountains to the west and towards Garway Hill to the east. Despite enjoying the benefit of such a rural enclave, the A465 link road is only 2.5 miles distant and the villages of Longtown and Ewyas Harold are only 2 and 3 miles away respectively. The historic market town of Abergavenny is approximately 8 miles to the south while the Cathedral City of Hereford is just under 15 miles to the north.

This unusual period home stands in approximately one and a half acres of garden and paddock that includes a delightful three bedroom detached cottage, a separate two bedroom Scandinavian style lodge, a garden home office, a large workshop, stable block with enclosed yard including two loose boxes, a tack/feed room, plus a partially heated Kennel block, and several chicken runs. The principal accommodation of the cottage comprises an entrance porch and small hallway, a lovely sitting room with bay window and French doors opening to the garden and for those winter evenings, a cosy HETA log burner. There is a separate dining room with an attractive stone fireplace featuring a further log burner, and this room opens to a traditionally styled modern kitchen. Adjoining the kitchen is a lean to utility area and ground floor toilet. To the first floor, there are three bedrooms with an en- suite facility to the master bedroom, plus a separate family bathroom. Heating is provided to the cottage and lodge from a shared oil tank and each has its own private drainage system.
