The home is approached through a sandstone entrance porch, complete with vaulted ceiling and decorative panelling, before arriving in a welcoming hallway where period details set the tone. High ceilings, original cornice work, and the natural warmth of the house create a sense of ease and continuity from the moment you step inside.

The dining room is a room made for gathering, with two sash windows framing the gardens and an open fireplace provides a central focus.

The sitting room continues the sense of calm, with dual aspects filling the room with natural light and offering views across the garden and out towards the Welsh Borders. An open fireplace adds both comfort and character, a space for both relaxation and socialising.

The snug is the heart of warmth in the home. Its standout feature is the Lange and Co red enamelled wood burner, a striking and authentic centrepiece with Welsh character. Double doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out, perfect for a quiet morning coffee or an evening by the fire.

The study, formerly the original kitchen, is a generous, versatile room with an attractive outlook over the gardens. It works beautifully as a home office, reading room, or children’s playroom.

The kitchen dining room combines exposed sandstone walls with contemporary comfort, underfloor heating, tiled flooring, and a range of fitted units. Double doors open onto the garden, making it an ideal space for alfresco entertaining when the weather allows.

A practical utility and boot room completes the ground floor, with ample storage, space for appliances, and convenient side access. A downstairs WC with period style panelling.

First Floor:
Upstairs, the bedrooms continue the sense of calm and generous proportions. The principal rooms enjoy dual aspects, plenty of natural light, and period fireplaces, with views stretching across the gardens and beyond to the Welsh Borders.

The third bedroom is a comfortable double, while the fourth bedroom is ideal as a nursery or dressing room. The heritage style shower room serves the first floor, maintaining the balance of character and function that runs throughout the home.

Gardens and Grounds:
The grounds are a standout element of this property, landscaped with care and offering a wonderful sense of privacy and nature. A lower lawned terrace leads from the front gardens into a nature area, rich with wildlife, climbing shrubs and seasonal colour. The side gardens are generous and formerly held planning consent for a further dwelling, now lapsed, with details available via the agents. Seating here provides beautiful views stretching towards Ross on Wye and the Welsh Borders.

At the top corner of the garden stands a well-kept stable beside a pergola wrapped in mature planting, creating a charming focal point and a quiet place to pause.

To the rear, terraces are laid to Indian stone and arranged for living outdoors. An original hand pump with cold water storage remains fully functional, alongside a separate Victorian copper. A further terrace captures the afternoon sun beside an ornamental pond, while pathways lead to the detached coach house workshop and a wood store, both versatile spaces suitable for creative or practical use.

Steps lead to a further terrace with an ornamental pond, which enjoys sunshine long into the late afternoon, before continuing up to a lawn with mature shrubs and trees. From here there is easy access to the wood store/workshop (15'2 x 10'3 / 4.62m x 3.12m), complete with tiled roof, quarry tiled floor, windows and fitted workbenches. This building offers exciting potential for conversion to a small studio or creative workspace, subject to consent. A pathway returns to the boot room, coach house and front gardens.
