Location
The sleepy village of Sellack occupies a wonderfully tranquil corner of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by glorious countryside and the meandering River Wye. Countless footpaths weave through the enchanting landscape, while the highly regarded gastro pub, The Loughpool Inn, provides an excellent local destination. The village also benefits from a community hall and the striking St Tysilio's Church, beautifully positioned amongst open meadows.
Families are well served by nearby schooling, with Kings Caple Primary Academy and Bridstow Church of England Primary School, both having achieved favourable Ofsted ratings in recent years. For secondary education, Ross-on-Wye, approximately four miles away, is home to John Kyrle High School, while respected independent schools can be found in Hereford and Monmouth.
Ross-on-Wye offers an excellent range of day-to-day amenities, including supermarkets, independent boutiques, cafés, restaurants, pubs and leisure facilities. The cathedral city of Hereford, around 10 miles away, provides an even wider selection of shopping, dining and recreational opportunities.
Although surrounded by unspoilt countryside, the property remains exceptionally well connected. The A49 lies just two miles away, while the A40 and M50 can both be reached within approximately five minutes from Ross-on-Wye, providing excellent access further afield.




The Home at a Glance
Approached via a quiet single-track country lane, Willow Cottage forms part of a small rural community where peace, privacy and dark, star-filled skies are everyday pleasures.
An open-air porch shelters the front entrance, leading into a generously sized reception hall. The ground floor offers two well-proportioned reception rooms. The largest of which is a sitting room. This centres around a stone fireplace with a faux wood-burning stove, while fitted shelving has been incorporated into an alcove beside the chimney breast. The other, a dual-aspect dining room, enjoys an abundance of natural light and opens through French doors onto the rear patio, creating an ideal setting for indoor-outdoor entertaining.
The kitchen adjoins the dining room. This carries a herringbone tiled floor, a range of wall and base units, an Indesit oven and grill, a hob with concealed extractor, housing for a fridge/freezer, provision for both a washing machine and dishwasher, and room for an additional under-counter appliance. The Worcester Bosch boiler is also housed here, while a stable door provides direct access to the garden.
Completing the ground floor is a generously sized cloakroom, which offers scope to be reconfigured into a shower room if desired.
A staircase with an ornate balustrade rises to a galleried landing, from which all four bedrooms are accessed. Three are comfortable doubles, two benefiting from fitted wardrobes with overhead storage and captivating elevated views across the garden with the enveloping farmland beyond. A third double bedroom features a characterful pitched ceiling together with a row of fitted wardrobes which span along one side of the room. The fourth bedroom is currently arranged as a study but would equally suit use as a nursery or single bedroom, with fitted shelving and another pitched ceiling adding a quirky detail.
Positioned directly above the cloakroom, this room also offers the potential to create an en-suite, by utilising the existing plumbing below.
The family bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite and heated towel rail, while the landing also provides access to an airing cupboard and useful loft storage.
Outside, the southwest-facing garden enjoys uninterrupted views over neighbouring farmland, creating a wonderfully private rural haven. A sheltered sunken terrace sits immediately behind the house, while the upper garden is predominantly laid to lawn with well-stocked borders providing seasonal colour. A mature Conference pear tree forms an attractive focal point, and productive raspberry beds occupy the rear of the garden.
Further enhancing the property are two timber storage sheds, a greenhouse and a conservatory currently used as a potting shed, which adjoins the garage. The garage benefits from light and power, while the driveway provides parking for several vehicles.
