Hoarwithy, Herefordshire, HR2

A beautifully positioned stone cottage with three double bedrooms, three reception rooms and scope for extension, (STP) With stunning rural views, set in gardens of one fifth of an acre and ample parking along with easy access to miles of idyllic countryside walks.

Tucked away in the heart of the Wye Valley, the riverside village of Hoarwithy offers a charming slice of traditional English countryside living with a touch of the unexpected.

This is the kind of place where time seems to slow down. Imagine waking up to the sound of birdsong, sipping coffee in your garden with views across rolling hills, and taking a morning stroll along the banks of the River Wye. It’s not unusual to see canoeists gliding by in the warmer months or to spot deer in the neighbouring fields on an early evening walk.

Hoarwithy is more than just a pretty backdrop. It has a strong sense of community, centred around the New Harp Inn, the welcoming village pub with its hearty food, log fires, and regular live music. Just across the lane stands the striking Italianate Romanesque church of St Catherine’s, a local landmark that draws in photographers, walkers, and curious passers-by.

From here, you’re just 5 miles from Ross-on-Wye, with its independent shops, cafes, and excellent secondary school, and 9 miles from the city of Hereford, offering further amenities, rail links, and culture. The M50 motorway is also just a short drive away, making access to the Midlands and South Wales refreshingly straightforward.

In short, Hoarwithy is a place where rural peace meets convenience where you can have space, scenery, and a supportive village community, all without being cut off from the wider world.

The beautiful surrounding countryside can be appreciated from the many local walks including the Herefordshire Trail, which passes near the cottage.
