Newcastle Farmhouse is ideally situated on the outskirts of the village of Orcop Hill, which is a village crowned by a clump of trees and well renowned for this local landmark. The village has a range of local amenities which include a public house, Village Hall, Garage and a regular bus service to Hereford and Monmouth. The market towns Monmouth (11 miles) and Ross on Wye (11 miles) both offer a good range of independent shops, primary and secondary schooling, supermarkets and leisure facilities. Monmouth is home to the renowned Haberdashers school. The cathedral cities of Hereford and Gloucester are approximately 9 and 27 miles distance respectively, allowing easy commuting access. Access to the motorway network can be made via junction 4 of the M50 (11 miles). Excellent rail links can be made via Abergavenny (17 miles) which has direct links to Manchester and Newport, whilst Hereford (9 miles) has direct links to Birmingham New Street and London Paddington.

Newcastle Farmhouse is a detached stone built cottage, in need of modernisation, that is set in its own plot and benefits from beautiful scenic views. The property is full of character features and has exposed wood and beams throughout. It is approached via a stone pathway leading to the wooden front door, which opens into the entrance porch, which has deep fitted cupboards. This leads into the sitting room which has a mainly wooden floor, a wood burning stove and fantastic views over the garden and open farmland beyond. From here an archway leads into the snug which has a feature alcove. A door from this room leads to a corridor, which has access to a path running around the side of the property, and access to the large playroom. This room has a multitude of uses as it has double doors leading out to the garden. From the sitting room a further archway leads to the dining room, which has a dark slate tiled floor and a unique freestanding woodburner at one end. From here stable doors lead into the kitchen, which has a range of fitted wooden units, with a dark slate tiled worktop and a double black sink, above which is a hatch into the sitting room. There is a built in electric hob, double oven and a Rayburn. There is also space for a fridge freezer. Off the Dining Room is a small utility room that has a Belfast sink and door leading to a patio area at the side of the property. From the dining room stairs rise to the first floor, where immediately on the right hand side is a dressing room with built in cupboards along one wall and a basin in one corner. Also on this floor are two double bedrooms, both with stunning outlooks over the rolling countryside, a large family bathroom and separate shower room. There is also a small study that has stairs rising to the second floor, where there is the large master bedroom with open shelving and wardrobe space at one end, and a further double bedroom. Throughout the property are wooden doors and windows.

The garden at Newcastle Farmhouse extends to just over quarter of an acre. It is mainly laid to lawn and borders onto open farmland, which is separated by a post and rail fence. It is on a multitude of levels that are accessed by steps made of an array of wooden railway sleepers and stone paths. In one corner is a fenced area, which could be suitable for chickens, and a large garden shed. There is a large variety of mature shrubs and trees, and a former vegetable plot. There is a gravelled parking area, which is suitable for two cars, and is accessed from the lane via wooden gates. At the side of the property is a patio area that is ideal for alfresco dining and enjoying the wonderful scenery. A path leads around the side of the property which gives access to stone steps leading down to the cellar.
