Glasbury, Hereford

A rare opportunity to acquire an idyllically located detached bungalow occupying an exceptional riverside position. Enjoying unrivalled views across the River Wye and surrounding countryside; this detached home offers part refurbished accommodation with opportunity for further modernisation and extension with the benefits of extensive outdoor space and no upward chain.

The Property - Ty Afon occupies a truly enviable position on the banks of the River Wye in the ever-popular village of Glasbury. Rarely do properties in such a stunning waterside setting come to market, particularly those offering generous outdoor space and parking. Whilst the property has already been significantly improved and refurbished, creating a bright and welcoming home; there is still plenty of opportunity for a purchaser to add their own style and finish.

A glazed exterior door opens into a welcoming central hallway from which all principal rooms can be accessed. There is a wonderful reception room, flooded with natural light from a large bay window which perfectly frames the spectacular outlook across the garden, river and open countryside beyond. This is a room designed to make the most of its surroundings and offers a peaceful place to relax throughout the year. The open plan Kitchen diner is a generous space, ideal for family meals and entertaining. The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of units and integrated appliances, offering excellent functionality whilst presenting exciting scope for further enhancement. Adjoining the kitchen is a multifunctional utility room/porch with fitted storage, sink unit and external access.

The bungalow offers two bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a particularly attractive room with built-in wardrobes with mirrored doors and a lovely bay window enjoying views over the garden towards the river. This room also benefits from an ensuite bathroom awaiting renovation. Bedroom two is a spacious double room, currently used as a home gym. The family bathroom has been completely renewed with a contemporary white suite. There is a space saving staircase off the hallway, which provides access to the room in the roof with scope for further extension (subject to gaining any necessary permissions). The property benefits from oil-fired central heating, double glazing and a light, modern finish throughout.

Outside - The outside space is undoubtedly one of Ty Afon's greatest attractions. The property stands within a generous, level garden which runs alongside the River Wye, creating a truly exceptional setting rarely found on the open market. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, providing ample space for families, keen gardeners or simply those looking to enjoy the tranquillity of riverside living. A paved seating area directly adjoining the property provides the perfect place to sit and enjoy the ever-changing views of the river and surrounding countryside.

To the side of the property is extensive driveway parking for up to four vehicles, together with a detached garage offering excellent storage and further renovation opportunities. Beyond this are the Summer House for seclusion and observation of wildlife, as well as the large wood store, which accommodates the inside log burner. Combining an exceptional location with spacious accommodation and further potential, Ty Afon represents a rare lifestyle opportunity in one of the area's most sought-after settings.
