Woodland Cottage is a renovated stone-built country cottage set high above Ross-on-Wye, offering peaceful seclusion within approaching 3.5 acres of sloping woodland. The house has been modernised with new double glazing, fresh decoration, new carpets and programmable electric panel heaters, while retaining character features such as exposed beams and a stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove.
The single-storey open-plan living/kitchen runs to about 27ft and provides a cosy, light-filled main space with views across the grounds. Two first-floor bedrooms, a small study and large eaves storage make the layout practical for a couple or someone downsizing who still wants flexibility for guests or a home office. A timber studio on stilts with power and a small balcony offers a useful hobby or work space.
Externally the property’s principal benefit is the woodland: well-stocked sloping grounds that provide privacy, wildlife and a ready source of fuel for the stove. Practical considerations include a level lawn and parking area immediately by the cottage, a timber shed and a footpath crossing the grounds.
Buyers should note a few material points: access is along a long unmade single-track lane with a steep concrete strip near the property that is unsuitable for vehicles with low ground clearance; drainage is private; the Energy Performance Certificate rating is F; and the cottage is relatively small at about 503 sq ft. These factors are balanced by the setting, recent renovation and the unusually large plot.
