Llangrove

There is still time to find your perfect country home before Christmas, but you need to act soon.

The most wonderful time of the year is rapidly approaching. You may be dreaming of hanging decorations and putting up a Christmas tree in a new home, hosting parties in a spacious new dining room, curling up in front of a crackling fire, or simply gazing out at the enchanting winterscape scenery in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
There's good news; here at Hamilton Stiller, we have a selection of charming and characterful homes that can be available before December 25 - and all of these homes are either chain free or have owners who have confirmed they can complete before Christmas*

But the time to act is now. There is an average of 12-14 weeks for the conveyancing process to complete. So, if you are aiming to spend the Christmas and New Year festivities in a glittering new residence, please call the team at Hamilton Stiller.
*Subject to the conveyancing process for both parties' solicitors.
Nestled within a welcoming village, this versatile four-bedroom home is laid out over two storeys. The chain-free, link-detached property exhibits a pleasing view of the local church and, within the light-streamed sitting room, there is a wood burning stove - a staple of country life. Outside, this chalet bungalow boasts a private rear garden and plenty of parking space, which affords space for a motorhome alongside several other vehicles.


Location:

The idyllic south Herefordshire village of Llangrove offers plenty of local amenities, including a Church of England primary school, which carries an 'Outstanding' rating from SIAMS and a 'Good' grade from Ofsted. There is also a popular village hall, a church, and a reputable country pub, The Royal Arms, which regularly earns rave reviews online for good food, excellent beer, and an inviting atmosphere.

The Great Trewen Milk Shed, situated next to the village hall, is also worth a special mention. This self-service vending machine provides fresh, gently pasteurised whole milk along with a small range of groceries such as fresh eggs, cakes, butter, and cheese.

Even more amenities, including another excellent primary school, a well-stocked village shop, and a reputable MOT centre, can be found in the neighbouring village of Whitchurch, two miles away.

Llangrove is equidistant between the historic and well-appointed market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, which fringe the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The spectacular setting of Symonds Yat, which is one of the most well-known landscapes within the AONB, is a short drive (around ten minutes) from Llangrove. This location is famed for its phenomenal river scenery, woodland expanses, and limestone cliffs. There are several riverside pubs and restaurants which are exceedingly popular with residents and tourists alike - and a wide range of outdoor pursuits; walking, cycling, canoeing, and wild swimming, are easily accessible.

Llangrove also boasts good access to excellent transport links. Two miles away, motorists can join the A40; the eastbound road provides a direct route to Gloucester, Cheltenham, and the Cotswolds, whereas the westbound route heads towards the M4 at Newport. In addition, the M50 motorway begins in Ross-on-Wye, nine miles away, giving good access to the M5.


The Home at a Glance:

Kiruna is an ideal property for those seeking to create a bespoke home in a peaceful location with a warm-hearted village community.

Inside, the home features a sizeable south-facing living room. Plenty of natural light pours into this dual-aspect space; a set of French doors leads outside to a veranda, presenting a great entertaining space for those warm summer months, but Kiruna is an equally divine setting for those cosy winter evenings, as the sitting room carries a log-burning stove within an ornate carved wooden fireplace.

The user-friendly kitchen overlooks the private rear garden and is large enough to accommodate a dining table with chairs. It bears shaker-style units, a large storage cupboard, integrated appliances, and a freestanding dishwasher. It leads through into the utility room, which has provision for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The overall layout of the home is flexible and lends itself well to modernisation and personalisation. On the ground floor, there are two rooms equipped with built-in wardrobes and, therefore, most recently served as bedrooms. However, these spaces may otherwise be used as additional reception rooms. It is worth noting that the bedroom towards the rear of the home enjoys a good degree of soundproofing due to its secondary internal door, giving an opportune area for music or podcast recording.

In terms of washing facilities, on this level of the property, there is a bathroom with a corner bath with an electric overhead shower. There is also a separate cloakroom.

Upstairs, there are two additional bedrooms which carry Velux windows to let the light cascade in. Of these, one serves as the master bedroom; it boasts a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and built-in wardrobes across one side of the room. It also has an en-suite shower room with a three-piece suite. The other bedroom on this level features an alcove storage area.


The Great Outdoors:

High hedging encloses the rear garden, creating an immensely private rural haven. The grounds are predominantly laid to lawn, but the veranda next to the sitting room offers a perfect spot for an outdoor lounge or alfresco dining area. A shed at the bottom of the garden gives plenty of space to store gardening tools and equipment, and there is a substantial log store closer to the home.

For parking, there is an integral garage, a main paved driveway, and a hardstanding for a caravan or motorhome.
