Occupying a magnificent elevated position with far-reaching views across the surrounding Herefordshire countryside, Myrtle Crest Cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented equestrian home set within approximately three acres of paddocks and gardens.

This well-established equestrian residence combines excellent facilities with a charming and thoughtfully extended three-bedroom stone cottage, creating an ideal home for those seeking a rural lifestyle with space for horses and outdoor pursuits.

The property is approached via a gated entrance leading to a generous hardstanding driveway providing ample parking for multiple vehicles, horseboxes and trailers. The land is well arranged and divided into paddocks with traditional post and rail fencing, offering excellent grazing.

The equestrian facilities are a particular feature of the property and include a 20m x 40m post and rail arena with Fleixride surface, ideal for schooling and training throughout the year. There is a substantial outbuilding, which incorporates three loose boxes (two 12ft x14ft, one 16ft x14ft) and a tack room with additional storage for hay and equipment. A further 13ft x 24ft (approx.) lean-to attached to the barn provides additional storage within a lockable cage. Two field shelters are positioned within the paddocks, providing flexibility for horse management.

The home itself blends the charm and character of an original stone cottage with a modern extension, creating a well-balanced and spacious family home. Immaculately presented throughout, the interiors feature contemporary finishes and a neutral décor that complements the character of the property.

A welcoming entrance hallway provides access to the principal ground floor accommodation and includes a convenient downstairs WC. A practical utility and boot room — particularly well suited to country and equestrian living — offers fitted storage units, worktops, sink, space for appliances and direct access to the outside.

The heart of the home is the impressive kitchen dining room, a bright and spacious area designed to take full advantage of the spectacular views. The kitchen is fitted with sleek grey gloss units complemented by granite worktops and a large central island with wooden worktop and breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include a wine cooler, with space for a range cooker. The generous dining area easily accommodates a large table and opens through double doors onto the patio, creating a wonderful space for entertaining.

The living room is situated within the original stone cottage and is rich in character, featuring an inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove. Double doors open onto the garden, perfectly framing the surrounding countryside and bringing the outdoors in. Stairs rise from here to the first floor.

The first floor offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys triple aspect windows capturing the stunning countryside views and benefits from a private ensuite shower room. A spacious landing provides an ideal study area along with useful storage, while the stylish family bathroom is fitted with a modern suite including a P-shaped bath with shower over.
