The area has lovely countryside with miles of footpaths to explore and enjoy the wildlife and surrounding landscape. The historic market towns of Ross- on-Wye, 9.5 miles. and Ledbury, 10 miles, offer further areas of interest and within easy commuting distance is the Cathedral city of Hereford, 7 miles, with all the amenities expected of a city including a good choice of secondary education. Excellent rail links to London Paddington and Birmingham New Street can be found from Hereford and the motorway network is accessed via the M50, Junction 1, at Ross-on-Wye.
Nursery Cottage is a charming stone, brick and half-timbered white painted period cottage dating back to the 18th century. Originally two cottages, the property has been extended and refurbished to provide a lovely home in a beautiful but not isolated rural location. Exposed timbers and fireplaces add to the character of this attractive cottage. The porch has a stable door leading into the hall with beams and a doorway at the end leads into a reception room with beams, feature exposed stone wall and fireplace with a wood surround and flame effect electric stove with the old bread oven to the side. Stairs go up to the first floor with storage under and a stable door takes you into the sitting room with space for dining. There is an inglenook fireplace with LPG stove on a stone hearth and this character room has exposed beams and double doors out into the garden. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room looks out to the neighbouring traditional orchards and has a tiled floor and a range of fitted pine floor and wall units with built in electric oven, LPG hob, space for washing machine and fridge/freezer. A built in cupboard has shelving and hanging space. Another stable door leads into the conservatory which is the ideal place for eating and observing the wildlife. From the hall a door opens into the family bathroom with tiled walls and floor and cream coloured suite with shower over the bath. Upstairs is a light and spacious landing with a large airing cupboard and cloakroom with a built in cupboard unit and basin. The master bedroom is a large and airy room with ample built in wardrobes and views out to the gardens and orchards. Two further bedrooms have exposed timbers and garden outlook.
The property is approached off the lane onto the parking area in front of the garage. A wooden gate opens into the garden and a gravel path leads up to the porch. The attractive and private gardens are mainly laid to lawn with specimen trees, shrubs and borders adding colour and year round interest. The front of the cottage is prettily adorned with climbing plants and a decorative metal arch leading to the lawn is similarly planted with clematis and roses. A mixed hedge borders one side of the garden and to the other are the neighbouring orchards rich with wildlife including birds and deer. A small brook runs down the side of the garden and provides a further habitat for flora and fauna. A stone path leads round to the side of the cottage where there is a patio area bordered by raised beds of mixed planting providing an ideal al fresco dining area. To the rear of the cottage is a raised gravel area with additional seating space and a greenhouse, while the lower gravelled area is good place to relax and enjoy the sun. There is ample storage provided by a metal and a wooden shed. From the garden is a side door into the workshop adjoining the garage, both of which have light and power. Planning permission had been granted for the garage to be turned into a self-contained annexe, a Boarder Oak porch and a conservatory off the kitchen. This has now expired but has been resubmitted.
