High House is a handsome building which rises over the pretty village of Dymock offering a stunning outlook from the apartment.  The large sash windows allow for a bright and welcoming ambiance, and the character of the property offers a spacious feel throughout.  Perhaps most noteworthy is the incredible garden to the rear, completely private and currently configured into several areas of interest, this garden is secure for children and pets and enhances the countryside lifestyle of any potential purchaser.  The apartment itself is sympathetically presented for the convenience of modern living without ruining the character of this rarely available property. 

High House is conveniently placed for both the historic market towns of Newent (4 miles) and Ledbury (5.5 miles), both with good High Schools and a broad range of facilities to suit most day-to-day requirements.  The M50 (Jct 2) is just 5 miles away, giving access to Birmingham Airport (Approx 60 miles).  The area is rich in countryside walks, including the famous ‘Daffodil Way’.  It has a popular cricket club, cosy pub serving traditional food, a golf club and village garage with shop.  For more extensive cultural and retail opportunities the Cathedral City of Gloucester is just 14 miles with a direct train route to Paddington and Hereford, 16 miles.

The Property

The entrance to the apartment is to the rear of the building with parking for 2 vehicles to the side.  The configuration of the communal area means it is mainly used by Apartment 3 only and has recently been refurbished.  The property is reached via two sets of stairs, leading to the first floor of the building.  Entering the property from the landing area, you are greeted by a spacious reception hall with Engineered Oak flooring, traditional high ceilings, all tastefully presented.  An immediate opening to the left leads into an inner lobby, which in turn leads to Bedroom 3 and the Kitchen / Dining Room.

The Kitchen is well proportioned, modern but sympathetically presented to engage with the character of the property.  The current vendors have further enhanced this with a bio ethanol fireplace, allowing a traditional focal point during the Winter months.  There are a good variety of cupboards and drawers, with an integral dishwasher and fridge freezer, washer / dryer as well as an induction hob and oven.  The room allows for plenty of space for a dining or breakfast table and chairs and the large sash window reveals a stunning outlook over the extensive garden and fields beyond.

Bedroom 3 is situated between the Kitchen and Sitting Room, it is a single room with an original character fireplace and a bright outlook with views over the side of the property towards the church.

The Sitting Room faces the front of the building and light streams through from the South facing aspect opening up views of the fields leading to the Daffodil Way, and over the village roof tops.  The room is a good size and very welcoming, the vendors have created a stud wall in the style of an old chimney breast to the centre to house a further bio ethanol fire, giving the room a cosy focal point, but this could be removed quite easily if necessary.  The high ceilings and sash windows give this room a beautiful characterful charm.

Bedroom 1 is situated to the opposite side of the reception hall and is fabulously spacious, with another bright and interesting outlook.  There is a handsome old character fireplace with fitted wardrobes either side, in addition to a door (currently sealed), leading directly into Bedroom 2.

Bedroom 2 is a double room to the middle of the apartment with another bright outlook and doorway into Bedroom 1.

The shower room has been recently renovated and is both stylish and practical with large, marble effect tiling throughout, complimented by solid bluestone tumbled marble flooring with matching round wash basin and wood vanity unit, double shower unit with Victorian style furniture and matching W.C.

Outside

To the ground floor of the building and located at the side of the communal entrance to the apartment is a secure storage room with electric.  This is spacious enough to use as a workshop if necessary.  A wooden gate opposite the communal building door leads into the garden.  This area is a private, secure and tranquil haven and rarely available to buyers purchasing flats and apartments.  Each apartment has its own private outdoor space and Apartment 3's is arguably the largest, with different areas of interest for sitting, lawned areas, mature shrubs and trees, a greenhouse and home studio space as well as a large summer house.  The garden must be viewed to appreciate its size and charm.
