The Tour

The approach is via a shared driveway accessed from the village road which leads through into a gravelled courtyard. A detached garage building and high hedging enclose the courtyard and give a sense of security and privacy to the front of the house. Various apple trees and a mature plum tree line the hedges and a lavender bed softens the front elevation.

Vertical grey weathered Western red cedar cladding forms the front facade alongside crisp grey painted Velfac window frames. An exposed oak beam and column form the generous covered entrance porch which is paved with natural stone slabs. A grey painted door flanked either side by full height glazing leads into a beautifully bright entrance hall from where the principal open plan kitchen, dining and living space unfold through a generous arch. A large free-standing kitchen island with hotplate and breakfast bar defines the space and allows food to be prepared and served in a sociable way. A further generous quantity of kitchen units and work surface is arranged around the perimeter of the space from where the windows offer wonderful views of the surrounding landscape in two directions. A dining area allows a large free standing dining table to be accommodated, and this also has its own separate window which offers views out.

The living area is accessed via a wide opening from the dining area, and contains a feature wood burning stove as a secondary heat source. A sliding full height glazed window offers uninterrupted views of the landscaped rear garden and paved area. A further full height window overlooks adjacent fields.

Natural oak floor planks run throughout the living and kitchen/dining spaces, as well as the staircase, first floor study area and corridor.

A study area on the first floor has the benefit of a velux roof window directly over a built-in desk, offering a wonderful home office area.

Three double bedrooms are located on the first floor; including the master bedroom with ensuite and a built-in dressing area separated from the sleeping area by a central wall with openings on either side. All bedrooms are carpeted.

The house has 3 bathrooms; a large family bathroom with bathtub, an en-suite shower room with WC, and a downstairs bathroom which could also be adapted to accommodate a washing machine to act as a laundry area. A storage room is located under the staircase which also houses the boiler and heating system.

Outdoor Space

The private rear garden has direct access from the side; there is a large paved patio area with ample space for entertaining and a small set of steps leads up to a level, good sized lawn bordered by hedges and contemporary painted timber fencing. Landscaped borders separate the patio from the lawn. Several apple trees line the hedges and there is a cherry tree and 2 further apple trees on the lawn.

Garage

A spacious double garage with two large double doors, side window, light, power and higher trusses than average for greater flexibility and ideal for potential conversion. A 7Kw electric car charging point is installed within the garage.

The Area

The home is in an area of extensive apple orchards and there is a huge network of footpaths accessible directly from the property from where it is possible to walk for miles across beautiful countryside, rarely meeting anyone along the way. The village of Staunton-on-Wye has an outstanding primary school, a well regarded doctors surgery, a pub (The New Inn), Oakchurch Farm Shop (The Harrods of Herefordshire) and is served by a regular bus service to the city of Hereford which is 10 miles away. Private schooling options nearby are Hereford Cathedral School and Christ College Brecon.

Further afield the property is located just 11 miles from Hay-on-Wye which is very convenient for the Hay Festival and is also a gateway into the Brecon Beacons National Park.
