Stone-built cottage with exposed limestone feature walls
Pear Tree Cottage is a characterful two-bedroom village home with exposed stone walls, original beams and a bread oven feature fireplace — all set on a large plot with Wye Valley views. The modern galley kitchen has oak block worktops and integrated appliances, and the principal bedroom includes an en-suite, making the layout ready for immediate occupation or short-let use. Parking for two vehicles and a gently sloping garden with mature shrubs add practical outside space.
The house suits buyers seeking a rural retreat or a holiday-let investment: Hoarwithy’s riverside location, village pubs and nearby leisure facilities draw seasonal visitors. The property is offered chain free and has a proven layout for comfortable two-bedroom living, with separate sitting and living/dining rooms and a wood-burning stove for cosy winter evenings.
Be clear on the practical drawbacks: heating is by electric storage heaters and wall-mounted electric heaters, and the property uses a septic tank for drainage. The stone walls are traditional sandstone/limestone and are assumed to have no built-in insulation, which will affect running costs and may need upgrading. There is a medium flood risk in the area and a public right of way/wayleave for a National Grid cable across the site.
Overall this is a strong period cottage with immediate move-in or letting potential, with clear scope for targeted improvements (insulation, heating upgrade, drainage review) to reduce running costs and enhance long-term value.
