Summary - ROCK COTTAGE HOW CAPLE HEREFORD HR1 4SS
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious character home with large garden and flexible outbuildings.
Late‑17th‑century sandstone cottage with many original features
A late‑17th‑century sandstone cottage combining generous character rooms with modern, energy‑saving kit. The home retains exposed beams, original fireplaces and a vaulted master bedroom, while benefiting from 14 PV panels, two additional solar panels and double glazing. The kitchen/dining room and drawing room are bright and sociable, and a west‑facing paved terrace overlooks paddocks — ideal for family outdoor living.
The plot is exceptionally large and private, with mature trees, an enclosed vegetable garden and ample off‑street parking. Versatile outbuildings include a divided double garage with workshop and ultrafast‑fibre connected office, plus a glazed studio suitable for a hobbies room, home office or teenage den. The setting is peaceful yet well connected: around 6 miles to Ross‑on‑Wye, approx. 11 miles to Hereford and easy access to the M50 and rail links.
Buyers should note material issues plainly: the property lies in a high flood‑risk area and uses private drainage; the heating system is oil‑fired and council tax is band F (expensive). Interested parties are advised to verify flood defences, drainage arrangements and service condition before purchase. There is scope to enhance value by reconfiguring internal space or converting outbuildings subject to consents.
Overall this is a desirable family cottage or lifestyle home for those seeking countryside character with modern energy credentials, substantial garden and flexible ancillary accommodation — provided buyers are comfortable with the site's flood risk and ongoing running costs.
