THE PROPERTY: A detached three-bedroom cottage, peacefully positioned at the end of a lane in the highly sought-after north/east Herefordshire village of Shelwick. Set within gardens extending to over half an acre, the property enjoys a beautiful rural setting surrounded by open countryside.

The cottage offers excellent scope to extend and enhance, subject to any necessary consents. The accommodation includes a spacious front living room, a modernised kitchen/breakfast room, and a formal dining room which could also serve as a secondary sitting room or a home office. A ground-floor shower room with WC completes the downstairs layout.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms along with a cloakroom. Outside, the property benefits from driveway parking leading to a garage, as well as a selection of sheds, workshops, and greenhouses within the generous gardens.
