Set within about 1.4 acres of private grounds, this detached four-bedroom home offers a genuine rural retreat with woodland, a spring-fed pond and a running stream. Spacious living is arranged over two floors with three reception rooms, a sunroom and flexible outbuildings that include a garage, heated storeroom and garden room with French doors overlooking the pond.
The property benefits from practical upgrades such as triple glazing throughout and a solid oil-fired boiler with radiators, but it is presented for sale in need of modernising and general updating. Economical improvements to consider include insulation to cavity walls, modern kitchen and bathrooms, and landscaping or pond maintenance. Private drainage is installed and the council tax is in a high band.
Strong selling points are the extensive plot and seclusion — excellent for gardeners, hobbyists or buyers wanting space for small-scale equestrian or agricultural pursuits (subject to planning). The versatile outbuildings provide immediate scope for hobby rooms, home office or ancillary accommodation, but expect refurbishment and utility connections if converting commercially or for full residential use.
This is a chain-free opportunity for a family or buyer seeking rural lifestyle and long-term value. The location is quiet and well connected to Ross-on-Wye and Hereford, but buyers should budget for renovation, possible insulation work, and long-term maintenance of the pond, woodland and access drive.
