Description

Location

Cooley Lodge occupies an unexpectedly secluded yet most accessible location just over a mile west of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye on the edge of the dispersed village of Bridstow and has a wonderful rural outlook across adjacent farmland. Monmouth, Ledbury and Hereford are all within approx. 20 minutes drive, whilst the M50 motorway/A40 dual carriageway network means that Cheltenham, Birmingham, Newport, Cardiff and Bristol are all within easy striking distance.

Description

Occupying a tucked away, yet incredibly accessible location just over a mile from picturesque Ross-on-Wye, Cooley Lodge represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a detached country home filled with immense character. 
Of stone construction with attractive rendered elevations under a primarily slate roof, the original property has a host of period features, and commands a beautiful unspoilt outlook over adjacent farmland. Constructed more recently and lying immediately to the west of the house is an exceptionally light and appealing 31' garden room and study which has French doors opening directly into the gardens. 12 PV panels have been added to the rear of the cottage, together with the installation of a 9.6kWh battery, meaning that any potential purchaser has the beauty of a character cottage with the benefits of a modern dwelling! 
The gardens lie primarily to the west, north and east of the house and comprise a mixture of lawns, borders, orchard and pond, as well as a greenhouse and productive vegetable garden, all approached by an expansive gravelled driveway. This also leads to the 19' garage and store room, whilst behind is a most attractive, stone, former piggery, ideal as a potting shed or den!
