Location:

The village of Hoarwithy is a hidden gem. The setting boasts spellbinding scenery as it is formed along a tranquil peninsula in a meander of the River Wye. From Cranley, a myriad of beautiful walks leads through the delightful countryside and around the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Hoarwithy features a traditional country pub, The New Harp Inn, which also houses a village shop.
A short distance away in the idyllic hamlet of Carey, there is also The Cottage of Content, a little-known restaurant that consistently garners rave reviews online. It is also worth noting that the neighbouring village of Sellack includes another esteemed gastropub, The Loughpool Inn, plus a fantastic village hall.

The nearby market town of Ross-on-Wye offers an abundance of other amenities, including various supermarkets, an assortment of restaurants, pubs, independently owned boutiques, nationally renowned retailers, and leisure facilities. The cathedral city of Hereford gives an even wider range of shops, supermarkets, leisure facilities, bars, and restaurants.

While the property is encircled by unspoiled countryside, it also benefits from being within good reach of excellent transport links; the A49 is only four miles away, while the A40 and M50 are both accessible from Ross-on-Wye.

The Home at a Glance:

Cranley is an immaculately presented country home that boasts all the comforts that are immensely desirable for modern living. The kitchen is well equipped with integrated Siemens appliances, the electronic garage door is remote-controlled, there is reliable fibre broadband direct to the premises, every room in the home features aluminium frame double-glazed windows, and there are galvanised drainpipes.

The main entrance leads into a spacious reception hall. A high-quality tiled floor flows throughout this level of the home. On the left-hand side, there is a capacious dual aspect sitting room with an inset log burner on a flagstone hearth, which is set beneath an oak mantle, and this affords a rustic focal point. On the opposite side of the reception hall, there is a beautifully bright open-plan expanse which serves as the heart of the home. This area includes the kitchen, which is complete with soft-close shaker-style units with bespoke, hand-forged handles and quartz worktops. The plethora of integrated appliances encompasses an induction hob, a dishwasher, a full-height fridge, a full-height freezer, a combi oven, and a conventional oven. In addition, there is a pantry and plenty of pull-out storage including a waste store. A breakfast bar offers an informal dining space, and this is adorned with chic concrete feature lighting. Meanwhile, the formal dining zone is positioned next to a set of bi-fold doors, which lead out to the rear garden, and the snug area also grants a set of French doors - thereby letting plenty of natural light cascade into the space.
From the open-plan area, there is a door to a boot room. This includes an oak door to the rear garden, and it also gives access to the plant room and the utility room. The latter bears additional shaker units, a sink, and provision for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.

A staircase with an oak balustrade leads up to the galleried landing on the first floor, giving access to all four double bedrooms. Of these, the master overlooks the rear garden and carries an en-suite shower room with a three-piece suite, a heated towel rail, and an illuminated mirror. In terms of washing facilities, there is a family bathroom also on the first floor. This contains a four-piece suite, a heated towel rail, and an illuminated mirror. On the ground floor, there is a generously sized cloakroom off the reception hall.

The fully enclosed rear garden is south facing and predominantly laid to law, however there is an expansive patio terrace. In terms of parking arrangements, the gravel driveway gives ample room for several vehicles and has an EV charge point. The detached garage is equipped with light and power.
