A characterful three bedroom country cottage offering generous gardens, flexible living space, detached garage and workshop, ample parking and far reaching rural views. A rare opportunity for those seeking space, privacy and a quieter pace of life without feeling isolated.
Tucked away along a quiet country lane in the pretty hamlet of Tretire, this charming three bedroom cottage offers an excellent opportunity to enjoy a genuine slice of country life, while remaining convenient for Ross on Wye, Hereford and the M50 road network, all within around a ten minute drive.
Set within a good sized and private plot, the property backs directly onto the beautiful Herefordshire countryside, creating a peaceful and wonderfully rural outlook. Inside, the accommodation is surprisingly spacious for a cottage of this size, with bright and airy rooms throughout.
With countryside quite literally on the doorstep, yet excellent road links close at hand for South Wales, the Midlands and beyond, this is a lovely home for anyone looking to escape to a quieter pace of life without feeling isolated.
The property is entered into an entrance hall with tiled flooring, providing the perfect space for muddy boots, coats and dogs.
Conveniently located off the entrance hall is a beautifully appointed shower room with wash hand basin and WC, adding useful flexibility to the ground floor accommodation.
The house then opens into the dining area, where the continuation of the tiled flooring gives the ground floor a lovely sense of flow. Traditional church pew seating adds real character and complements the cottage feel, while a double glazed window looks out towards the adjoining fields and countryside beyond. A useful storage cupboard houses the sealed system hot water tank and provides additional space for household and cleaning items.
Adjoining the dining area is the generous country kitchen, creating a particularly sociable space for entertaining and everyday family life. At its heart is an impressive five ring Rangemaster cooker, ideal for anyone who enjoys cooking, while an extensive range of Shaker style cabinetry and a ceramic sink continue the traditional cottage theme.
A highly useful pantry area sits just off the kitchen, providing space for an American style fridge freezer together with additional shelving and storage, perfect for the keen cook. The surrounding countryside is never far from view, with a rear kitchen window.
To the front of the house is the formal sitting room, a wonderfully bright and inviting space enjoying a southerly aspect and excellent natural light throughout the day. Two double glazed windows look out towards farmland in the distance, with a window seat providing the perfect place to sit.
At the heart of the room is a wood burning stove, exactly what you would hope to find in a country cottage and a wonderful focal point on a cosy winter evening. Exposed ceiling beams complete the look and add further warmth and character. An understairs doorway leads to a wonderfull lower level wine store / storage area, perfect when entertaining firends and family.
A second access door to the front of the property is located off the utility room, which provides worktop space, plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer together with a useful airing cupboard.
Leading from the sitting room is a generous office or music room, enjoying the same south facing outlook and offering an excellent space for those working from home.
Beyond this room we find the third bedroom, providing yet more flexibility and perfectly also suited as a snug, playroom or reading room.
The result is a deceptively spacious and highly versatile cottage, with a succession of well connected rooms that combine practical everyday living with plenty of character.
From the sitting room, solid wood stairs lead to the first floor accommodation, with a useful storage cupboard beneath making good use of the space.
Bedroom one is a generous double room with extensive built in wardrobes and an elevated outlook across the adjoining farmland. The room enjoys the morning sun, creating a bright and welcoming start to the day.
Bedroom two is another double, with exposed beams adding further character and a lovely country life outlook.
Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, a light and airy room fitted with a four piece suite.
OUTSIDE
Unusually for a cottage in this price range, the property enjoys generous gardens together with a detached garage and workshop, adding considerably to its overall appeal.
Approached from the quiet country lane, there is off road parking for several vehicles along with additional space to the side of the property for a motorhome or caravan if required.
The gardens are laid mainly to low maintenance lawn and feature an abundance of mature trees, creating a natural canopy and welcome shade during the warmer summer months. Hedgerows provide both privacy and an excellent habitat for wildlife, reinforcing the peaceful country setting.
For those looking to embrace a little more of the good life, there is also a dedicated fenced vegetable garden, ideal for growing your own produce and making the most of the generous outside space.
The detached garage is currently used as a hobby room and offers excellent front to back proportions. To the rear is a dedicated workshop area, providing a highly useful space for the DIY enthusiast.
Together, the gardens, parking, garage and workshop provide a level of outside space rarely found with a cottage of this type, all surrounded by the Herefordshire countryside.
