Character stone home with annexe potential and extensive terraced gardens.
Detached traditional stone cottage with conservatory and exposed timbers
Separate annexe offering home office or holiday-let potential (subject planning)
Large, terraced gardens with private patios and valley views
Detached single garage, workshop with solar panels and off-street parking
Oil-fired central heating; oil tank on site and EPC rating E
Septic tank drainage; mains water and electricity connected
Steep sloping plot—garden maintenance and landscaping likely needed
Slow broadband locally despite excellent mobile phone coverage
Set on a private, elevated plot above Lydbrook valley, Ashgrove Cottage blends traditional stone character with a bright glazed conservatory and extensive terraced gardens. The main house offers two/three bedrooms, a cosy lounge with log burner, and a well-equipped kitchen with scullery and utility — presented in good order and ready to occupy.
A self-contained detached annexe provides flexible scope for a home office, holiday let or separate living (subject to planning). The site includes a detached garage, workshop with solar inverter, off-street parking for two, and numerous secluded patios and decked seating areas that capitalise on far-reaching Wye Valley views.
Practical considerations: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler and uses a septic tank; the EPC is rated E. The plot is steeply terraced and will require ongoing garden maintenance or landscaping for easier use. Broadband speeds are slow locally despite excellent mobile signal, which may affect those working from home without alternative connectivity solutions.
This cottage suits buyers wanting a character home with generous outdoor amenity and rental or annex potential — families, countryside-seekers or part-time residents who value privacy and views. Make allowances for rural utilities, garden upkeep and any planning required to adapt the annexe for commercial short-term letting.
