Description
An Exceptionally Generous Bungalow, Surrounded by Approx. 3 Acres of Grassland with a Versatile Range of Outbuildings with Development Potential. EPC F
Location
Wye Valley Bee Farm is situated in the rural, dispersed village of Glewstone approx. 4 miles southwest of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye, and a short distance from the A40 and M50 road network. Surrounded by rolling farmland and countryside, this rural setting offers peace and tranquillity, yet is within a few minutes drive of Woods of Whitchurch, a locally renowned village store and café, and a short walk from Glewstone Court Hotel. Originally the location of the Bee Farm for the neighbouring orchards, the property and grounds offer an exciting opportunity for any future purchaser.
Description
Constructed in 1981 and positioned centrally within the plot, Wye Valley Bee Farm comprises a substantial bungalow offering in excess of 1800 sq.ft of accommodation. Accessed from the small rural lane the driveway divides, sweeping left towards the house, where one finds a generous parking area, whilst to the right there is vehicular access to the range of substantial outbuildings.
The entrance porch and hall lead through to a generous sitting room with fireplace, a dining room and kitchen fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted units, integrated oven, hob and extractor hood over, whilst adjacent the shower room is a most useful utility room. Each of these rooms are filled with natural light and offer an outlook across the surrounding ground. Accessed from the central hallway are five bedrooms together with a bathroom, again each benefiting from an abundance of natural light.
Externally there are a range of exceptionally versatile outbuildings which include a substantial 30' metal framed barn with a mezzanine floor, below which is an enclosed store area, formerly the honey processing room. This building has three phase power and lighting. Adjacent are several, lean-to style buildings. Immediately to the rear of the bungalow are a range of young trees, whilst to the side are several raised beds ideal for growing your own produce. Enclosed within the clearly defined hedge and tree lined boundary, are the level areas of grass, the total plot extending to approx. 3 acres, ideal for those either with horses, or for those wanting to rewild or create orchards and gardens.
The current owners have investigated planning potential and have a Pre App detailing possible conversion of the outbuildings together with development of the bungalow. Further information is available via the agents.
For those looking for an exceptionally generous sized bungalow, surrounded by pasture, together with a range of versatile outbuildings we strongly recommend an early viewing.
