Five generous bedrooms with two en‑suites
Willersley Cottage is a substantial, character-rich home tucked into north‑west Herefordshire between Hereford and Hay‑On‑Wye. The original timber‑framed cottage has been thoughtfully extended to create generous living spaces — a large kitchen/breakfast room, an impressive open-plan dining/family room with vaulted beams and roof lights, and several comfortable reception rooms with wood‑burning stoves. Fifteen solar panels reduce running costs and add an eco element to this period property.
Set on a very large mature plot, the gardens provide privacy, multiple seating areas, a summerhouse and an ornamental pond — ideal for families who want outdoor space and countryside views. Practical outbuildings include a garage, workshop and car port with additional storage above, plus off‑road parking from a stone driveway.
There are five generous first‑floor bedrooms, two with en‑suite facilities, and family bathroom options that suit a household needing space and flexibility. Double glazing and an oil‑fired boiler provide modern comforts while retaining historic beams, exposed timbers and other period features that give the house real charm.
Important factual points: the property was built before 1900 and uses a private drainage system. It experienced flooding from the rear four years ago; levels in the garden and the floor have since been raised and flood defences installed. Heating runs on oil (not a communal supply) and council tax is band F, which should be considered in ongoing costs.
