Chain free three-bedroom detached cottage with panoramic countryside views
Set on an elevated plot in the peaceful hamlet of Westhope, this three-bedroom detached cottage blends original character with comfortable living. Exposed beams, stone walls and a wood-burning stove create cosy reception rooms with superb panoramic views across orchards and rolling countryside toward Hay on Wye.
The house is versatile: a comfortable full-time home, a holiday cottage or a lock-and-leave retreat. The generous landing offers a useful home-office or occasional bedroom space. Landscaped gardens include raised vegetable beds, an elevated decking terrace and parking for three to four cars with scope to add a garage subject to planning.
Practical considerations: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler, uses private drainage to a septic tank and has stone walls assumed to lack insulation. Double glazing is fitted but the installation date is unknown. These factors should be weighed by buyers considering energy costs or insulation upgrades.
Chain free and set in an affluent, low-crime rural area with good broadband, the home sits close enough to local shops while offering tranquil, far-reaching views. Nearby schools and larger towns are within driving distance, making the cottage well suited to country-living buyers who value character, privacy and outdoor access.
