Set in an idyllic rural lane, The Holt is a spacious four-bedroom Victorian country cottage with abundant character and generous gardens of about one third of an acre. The house combines original features — stone walls, exposed beams, stone fireplace — with later improvements such as a bright sunroom, engineered oak floors and uPVC double glazing. The southerly aspect and large windows deliver plenty of natural light and peaceful countryside views.
The plot is a standout: gently sloping lawns, vegetable beds, mature shrubs and a summer house/home office, plus substantial off-street parking and a concrete garage. Practical modern comforts include FTTP broadband, excellent mobile signal and an oil-fired boiler with radiators. Planning permission exists to add a detached double garage with loft room and a first-floor extension, offering clear scope to increase floorspace and value (Planning Ref: DS090169/F).
Buyers should note a few material points: heating runs on oil, the property uses a septic tank for drainage, and Bedroom 4 has a flying freehold. The walls are traditional sandstone/limestone and insulation may be limited; the EPC is currently rated D. These are typical of older rural cottages and may mean ongoing maintenance or improvements are needed to meet modern efficiency standards.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking rural space and character — families or those looking to downsize into a peaceful country home with scope to extend and personalise. It’s tucked away but accessible, a short drive to Ross-on-Wye and the A49, with countryside walks and a village pub within reach.
