Peacefully situated in the sought-after village of Hoarwithy, the property offers direct access to scenic walking routes through open countryside and up to panoramic viewpoints. The River Wye itself provides opportunities for activities including; canoeing, paddleboarding and fishing (The Rookery has private fishing rights).

Hoarwithy is home to The New Harp Inn, a traditional country pub and village shop, as well as The Cottage of Content; both located a short walk from the property. Further amenities can be found in the nearby market town of Ross on Wye, or The Cathedral City of Hereford.

While the property is surrounded by unspoiled countryside, it also benefits from excellent transport links; the A49 is only four miles away, while the A40 and M50 are both accessible from Ross-on-Wye.

Peacefully situated on a gentle hillside in the sought-after village of Hoarwithy, this beautifully presented home enjoys far-reaching views across the River Wye and the rolling countryside of the Wye Valley. From the garden and principal rooms, watch the river meander through the valley below – an ever-changing backdrop that makes this a truly special setting.

The house has been thoughtfully updated and tastefully maintained, offering flexible and spacious accommodation arranged over two floors. Large windows throughout perfectly frame the surrounding landscape, flooding the interiors with natural light and creating a seamless connection between home and countryside.

At the heart of the home is a spacious open-plan lounge/diner, featuring a log burner for cosy evenings and patio doors that open directly onto the garden terrace, creating an ideal space for both relaxing and entertaining. The charming kitchen offers a partial range of integrated appliances and retains a warm, cottage-style feel. A separate utility room and downstairs shower room add practicality, while the ground floor bedroom – with large windows overlooking the River Wye and doors leading to additional outdoor space – provides flexible accommodation, perfect for guests or multi-generational living.

Upstairs, there are three further well-proportioned bedrooms, together with a family bathroom and an additional W.C.

The property occupies a generous plot approaching one acre. The gardens have been recently re-landscaped to provide areas of level lawn, raised beds edged with stone walls, and a winding footpath leading through a charming section of ancient woodland. A substantial decking terrace to the front takes full advantage of the far-reaching river views, while a separate courtyard to the side is perfectly positioned for morning sun.

Parking for two vehicles, together with a garage and EV charger, is located below the property, with additional visitor parking available a short distance along the lane.

The property also benefits from valuable riparian fishing rights for one rod at two locations within the village.

AGENTS NOTES:
The current owners have progressed proposed improvement plans to RIBA Stage 2 (Concept Design), with professionally prepared architectural drawings available to the next owner. These designs explore a reconfiguration of both the ground and top floor layouts to enhance flow, light, and overall usability of the home.

In addition, the plans outline the creation of a car port and investigate the potential for a separate annex or studio space, offering exciting flexibility for guest accommodation, home working, or rental potential.

While planning permission has not been sought, copies of the architectural plans are available for review on request.
