Description

This terraced cottage is set in a slightly elevated position within the picturesque Parish of Kings Caple, conveniently located near the scenic River Wye. Its proximity to the market town of Ross-on-Wye, just five miles away, provides easy access to local amenities and connections via the M50 motorway (junction 3). Additionally, the Cathedral City of Hereford lies approximately ten miles to the east, offering further facilities and services. The village itself features essential amenities such as a primary school and church, while nearby Hoarwithy boasts a public house and opportunities for leisure activities along the river. This rural setting presents an ideal blend of community life and natural beauty. The cottage includes updated double glazing and a solid fuel central heating system, though it would benefit from modern updates that could enhance its overall appeal. There is significant potential for renovation, including the option for expansion subject to acquiring necessary planning permissions. The property comprises a rear courtyard, a large stone outbuilding with electricity—ideal for conversion into an office or studio—and generous gardens that border open farmland. Ample off-road parking is also available. On entering the property, you are welcomed into a practical layout featuring an entrance porch leading to various living spaces. The kitchen includes a solid fuel Rayburn which provides both heating and hot water, along with sufficient room for additional kitchen units. A dining room with a feature fireplace offers warmth and character, accompanied by a cozy sitting room showcasing a wood-burning stove. Upstairs are two bedrooms that favorably capture countryside views through their double-glazed windows; both feature charming exposed floorboards and retain original fireplaces that underscore their rustic character. The bathroom includes plumbing for laundry appliances and ample natural light from both windows and rooflights. Outside, the front garden area enhances curb appeal while providing pedestrian access to the quiet village road. The expansive rear garden is beautifully enclosed by hedging and adorned with ornamental fruit trees. With vehicle access leading to parking facilities alongside an outbuilding with light and power, this aspect holds great potential for DIY projects or recreational uses. This property not only offers immediate comfort but also presents attractive opportunities for those looking to invest in renovations or expansions tailored to personal tastes in this desirable rural location—all without onward chain complications.
