Description

This detached traditional cottage, nestled in the picturesque village of Bircher, presents a unique investment opportunity for those with a vision. Surrounded by the breathtaking views of north Herefordshire's countryside and adjoining the scenic Croft Castle and Parkland, this property is not just a home but a potential retreat. The charming nearby village of Yarpole, just a short walk away, offers local amenities including a community-owned pub and an award-winning shop. With easy access to both Ludlow and Leominster, this location is perfect for both tranquil living and practical commuting. Leys Cottage features approximately one-third of an acre of mature gardens, providing ample space to enhance outdoor living. The historic driveway at the rear could be reinstated for convenient parking, adding value to the property while promoting ease of access. Internally, the cottage retains its character charm but requires comprehensive renovation throughout. It offers two reception rooms flanking a central hallway, a kitchen and utility area at the back, and two good-sized bedrooms on the upper floor that provide flexibility for redesign or expansion. This space invites transformation into a modern residence while preserving its authentic cottage appeal. Leys Cottage stands as a promising project for those looking to invest in a distinctive property with considerable potential in an enviable rural setting.
