Pencraig, Ross-on-wye, Herefordshire, HR9

Charming country cottage brimming with character and original features situated in a picturesque spot close to Ross-on-Wye. With five bedrooms, reception/dining room, large kitchen, sitting room, snug, study, family bathroom and beautiful garden plus driveway parking for several cars.

DESCRIPTION

Rogarth was built in 1610, originally a four room house, and extended in 1760. This owners bought this historic cottage in 1996 due to it's charm and feel of yesteryear. It was renovated and has since remained a much loved family home. The internal layout (2,260 sq. feet) is sizeable with a variety of different rooms to explore. There is certainly good space for the family to spread out..

This stone and part-timber frame cottage with a welsh slate roof has much to commend it with a breakfast/kitchen and range cooker, three great reception rooms including a light and bright sitting room, cosy snug/TV room, large dining room with an inviting log burner, three working fireplaces, study/home office, utility, guest cloakroom and walk-in larder. The family bathroom and attached shower room is downstairs. The owners discovered and uncovered a well under the bathroom; another unique feature!

In the oldest part of the house you'll find exposed wall and ceiling timbers as well as elm floorboards just waiting to be uncovered.

The bedrooms are accessed by two staircases. One staircase, from the internal hall, leads up to the three main bedrooms. These are all suitable for large beds as well as free-standing furniture. Fitted storage is good with a number of niche cupboards in the eaves. A second staircase, in the sitting room, leads up to two smaller bedrooms ideal for the younger members of the family or as hobby rooms.

GARDENS

The gardens are about 1/3 acre in size, lovingly tended and simply adorable. No expense has been spared with a variety of colourful flowers and seasonal plants including apple and plum trees, geraniums, over 30 types of roses, peonies, honeysuckle, raspberries and strawberries.

The property attracts sun all day long and includes a rear patio, two greenhouses and an attached workshop with light and power to store gardening equipment etc.

Internally, Rogarth would benefit from some updating but it is an interesting property with potential to put your own stamp on the cottage. The rear garden and glorious country views are striking and I know this will be a major pull for prospective buyers. The driveway is generous with private parking for at least six cars...and more. If you work from home the broadband here is excellent with super fast speeds.

*Please note the property is located next to the A40, albeit set back from the main road, so there is some traffic noise. It is a really warm and inviting home with straightforward access to the local road network. If this sounds like it would be suitable for you we look forward to arranging a viewing at your earliest convenience. Please contact Andrea at ChocolateBox anytime..
