This Grade II Listed property presents an exceptional opportunity for renovation and enhancement, nestled within expansive gardens next to a charming village church. Located in the secluded parish of Turnastone, within the scenic 'Golden Valley' region, the home is surrounded by lush countryside while still being accessible to nearby amenities in Peterchurch, Kingstone, and Ewyas Harold. The historic market town of Hay on Wye, famous for its literary festival, is also just a short drive away.
The Cross House features a distinctive blend of architectural styles, incorporating a timber-framed cottage with stone tiled roofing alongside a Victorian brick extension and subsequent modern additions at the rear. The spacious interiors offer significant potential for reconfiguration to suit family needs or individual preferences, pending necessary approvals.
Inside, you are welcomed by a glazed porch leading to a central hallway. The main sitting room exhibits character with its wooden paneling and leaded glass windows, complemented by additional flexible spaces such as a study and dining room. Upstairs, the layout comprises four to five bedrooms (including one currently serving as an office), along with two bathrooms that could be updated.
The property's garden offers privacy and features formal lawns alongside space for growing vegetables or keeping small livestock—ideal for those looking to create their own tranquil retreat. Furthermore, an adjoining parcel of approximately 10 acres of potential grazing land could be negotiated separately.
With significant historical appeal—dating back to its use as an alehouse in the 18th century—the Cross House invites buyers with vision to restore its former glory while adapting it for modern living. This property is supported by mains electricity, private water supply, and drainage.
In summary, this unique residence not only promises charm and history but also presents ample scope for creative renovation in an idyllic rural setting.
