Elm Cottage is a fully renovated two-bedroom detached cottage set in a semi-rural hamlet, finished to a high standard while retaining period charm. Inside, an exposed stone fireplace, beams and a reconfigured open-plan shaker kitchen/diner create a sociable, characterful living space with double doors onto a southerly patio and wide countryside views.
The property sits centrally within a quarter-acre of landscaped gardens with extensive off-road parking for multiple vehicles. Practical upgrades include a newly fitted roof, new doors and windows, double glazing and internal insulation to the stone walls. Planning permission (Herefordshire reference P223136/FH) has been granted to add a third principal bedroom with en-suite above the current kitchen/diner and to erect a separate garage.
Buyers should note a few material facts: heating is by electric storage heaters and the property uses private drainage via a septic tank, which will require periodic maintenance. The house was constructed before 1900 and, despite recent internal renovations, older stone construction can carry longer-term maintenance needs. The location is semi-rural and peaceful but relatively isolated, so consider travel and service access alongside the fast broadband and average mobile signal.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a tranquil countryside retreat with modern comforts and clear potential to expand. The granted planning permission makes Elm Cottage especially attractive to those wanting a principal-suite conversion or extra storage/garage space without needing immediate further consents.
