Summary - MAY COTTAGE, DANCING GREEN ROAD HR9 5TE
Period stone farmhouse with exposed beams and inglenook fireplace
May Cottage is a 19th‑century stone farmhouse set in a peaceful hamlet, offering genuine countryside living and expansive garden space. The property’s original features — exposed oak beams, stone inglenook fireplace with woodburner, ledge & brace doors — create authentic character and cosy reception rooms for family life. The plot of approximately 0.6 acre is a major asset: large lawns, mature trees, gravel driveway with generous parking and space for caravan or motorhome storage, plus a summer house and greenhouse for gardeners.
Practical strengths include fast FTTP broadband, off‑street parking, and good road links to the A40 for Ross‑on‑Wye and Gloucester. Accommodation is straightforward: three well‑proportioned bedrooms upstairs, a single bathroom with level‑access shower and useful rear lobby/pantry space that supports everyday country life. There is clear potential to update the kitchen and reshuffle rooms (subject to planning) to create more contemporary living or an en‑suite to the third bedroom.
Buyers should note material negatives: the EPC rating is F and primary heating is oil‑fired boiler (LPG referenced in essential information), with walls likely uninsulated (original sandstone/limestone construction). Drainage is via a septic tank. Council Tax is Band D. These factors mean the house will benefit from energy and services upgrades if lower running costs and modern standards are desired.
Overall, May Cottage will suit buyers seeking a characterful family home or countryside retreat with a very large garden and scope to improve energy efficiency and modern amenities. The location rewards those who prioritise tranquillity, outdoor space and period charm over turnkey modern convenience.
