Description

A beautifully private setting with no close neighbours, far-reaching views, and two homes offering flexible multi generational living or income, set in just under an acre. Additional land may be available by separate negotiation. Informal tender best offers by 30th May 12 noon, unless sold previously.

Situation And Description - This unique home lies in one of the most scenic parts of west Herefordshire, close to the Welsh border. Set at the end of a long private track and surrounded by open farmland, the property enjoys complete peace and privacy, with views in every direction and no close neighbours. Despite the idyllic rural position, it’s surprisingly well connected — the popular village of Eardisley is just 3 miles away, offering a primary school, shop, pub, café, church and bus services.

The world-renowned market town of Hay-on-Wye, just 7 miles away, is the cultural heart of the area and famous for its bookshops, independent shops, weekly markets, and the internationally acclaimed Hay Festival. It also offers a wide range of cafés, restaurants and riverside walks. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the area is a paradise with walking, wild swimming, kayaking, horse riding, and cycling all easily accessible. The Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons National Park are within striking distance, as are Offa’s Dyke Path and the River Wye.

There is a wide choice of schooling nearby, primary schools in Eardisley, Clifford and Kington; and secondary schooling at Lady Hawkins in Kington, Fairfield High School in Peterchurch, and further afield in Hereford. Independent options include Hereford Cathedral School, Lucton School and Christ College Brecon. Healthcare is available via nearby surgeries in Kington and Hay, and the hospitals in Hereford and Brecon. Railway stations at Hereford and Leominster link to Birmingham, Cardiff and London.

The combination of setting, views, flexibility and easy access to services makes this a rare opportunity to live in one of the most unspoilt corners of the Welsh Marches.

The Property - The main cottage is full of charm and has been recently upgraded and redecorated, including a new roof, refreshed interiors, ground floor shower room and practical improvements throughout. It offers three bedrooms (one with bathroom room en-suite, and one cloakroom ensuite), a separate dining room, a welcoming sitting room with fireplace, and a conservatory overlooking the garden. The kitchen currently has many free standing units (included), offering purchasers the opportunity to refit to their specification if required, with a useful utility room off, and views of the Black mountains while stood at the kitchen sink!

Across a short pathway sits the detached annexe, which offers self-contained accommodation ideal for letting, home working or multi-generational living. There is a ground floor bedroom, a dining room/occasional bedroom, a shower room, kitchen and living room. Upstairs, a vast multi-use space provides superb potential for hobbies, a studio, office, or extra bedrooms (subject to any necessary consents).

Outside, the plot which extends to .9 acres TBV and includes beautiful, level gardens with expansive lawns, a pond, vegetable beds, flower borders, and various outbuildings including a greenhouse and timber sheds. The former bowling green lawn is a lovely feature. There is plenty of scope for self-sufficiency, relaxation or further development.

Agents Notes - Additional land may be available by separate negotiation (under different ownership), offering further possibilities for those with equestrian or smallholding ambitions. Please ask the agents for further information.

About Character and Country, Hereford

5 Bridge Street, Hereford, HR4 9DF

All Estate Agents are NOT the same so we won't bore you with the buzz words of 'professional' or 'passionate' or 'experienced' (although we are all of those things). What makes Character & Country different is our love of the unique, quirky, individual and, well, like our name suggests, those properties that are full of character and/or set in the glorious countryside throughout Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Powys, Monmouthshire and Shropshire.

Whether its a gorgeous beam-filled cottage, an apartment or city home with a unique vibe, a bungalow with stables & land or a holiday home with a view, our extensive but focused marketing -along with a clear idea of the current market and what buyers are looking for - means we can pull on our collective team experience spanning more than 90 years to get your home sold.

Choosing an estate agent with strong local knowledge is, without doubt, an advantage. Buying and selling houses is still very much a 'people' business and this is where we come into our own. We don't just rely on our website or the national property portals to bring potential buyers to us. We're much more pro-active than that with social media, local and national press connections and the good, old fashioned task of phoning any potential purchasers we have on our books.
