Large landscaped gardens with vegetable beds, decking and elevated terrace

This well-presented three-bedroom detached cottage sits in an elevated position in the peaceful hamlet of Westhope, offered with no onward chain. Character features include exposed timbering, stone walls and a wood-burning stove, while large windows and raised terraces deliver panoramic views over orchards and open countryside into Wales. The plot is generous, with landscaped lawns, vegetable beds and multiple seating areas for entertaining or quiet retreat.
Practical strengths include off-street parking for three to four cars, potential to add a garage or carport (subject to consents), and useful additional landing space currently used as a home office or occasional bedroom. The cottage has modern comforts such as double glazing (install date unknown), an oil-fired boiler with radiators, underfloor heating in the en-suite, and integrated kitchen appliances.
Buyers should note this is a pre‑1900 stone-built home; the external sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to be uninsulated and may benefit from insulation improvements. Heating relies on a private oil supply rather than mains gas, and drainage is to a septic tank. Low ceilings in the living room and some rooms reflect the property’s period proportions and may not suit those wanting high, open-plan spaces.
Overall this cottage will suit families, those seeking a holiday or lock‑and‑leave retreat, or buyers looking for a characterful full‑time home in a quiet rural setting. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the outlook, garden terraces and the blend of period charm with practical living spaces.
