Ashgrove Cottage is a characterful stone cottage set on a large, terraced plot with far‑reaching views across the Lydbrook valley and Wye Valley countryside. The light conservatory, generous lounge with log burner and well‑proportioned bedrooms combine period features and comfortable living; a separate detached annexe provides flexible space for a home office, holiday let or guest suite. Solar panels (owned) help offset the oil‑fired heating costs.
The tiered gardens are a standout asset — private, extensively planted and arranged across multiple seating areas and patios that capture the views. Off‑road parking for two, a detached single garage and a useful workshop add practical value for vehicles, storage and hobbies. The property is freehold, council tax band C, and offered with no onward chain.
Practical points to note: the house uses oil-fired boiler and an septic tank, broadband in the area is slow, and parts of the fabric are original stonework with assumed no wall insulation. The sloping, terraced garden and steep site provide privacy and outlook but will require ongoing maintenance or landscaping if you want flatter usable areas. Access to parking is over Forestry Commission land via a right of access.
This cottage will suit buyers who value rural privacy, strong views and flexible ancillary accommodation — families wanting outdoor space, buyers seeking an income stream from an annexe, or purchasers prepared to manage maintenance and retrofit improvements (insulation, broadband upgrade) to maximise comfort and energy efficiency.
