Rudge End Cottage is situated on the outskirts of pretty village of Woolhope, approximately 7 miles from the cathedral city of Hereford, and the thriving market town of Ledbury is only 10 miles distance. Hereford offers a wide range of facilities including primary and secondary schools, art college, retail outlets, supermarkets, leisure facilities, library, hospital, football ground and the Courtyard Theatre, to name but a few. The renowned private schools of Malvern College and Malvern St. James are approximately 15 miles distance and The Elms and The Downs Schools in Colwall are approximately 10 Miles. The cathedral cities of both Worcester (28 miles) and Gloucester (28 miles) being within easy commuting distance. Hereford also has excellent rail links to London Paddington and Birmingham New Street. Access to the motorway network is via J4 of the M50.
Rudge End Cottage is believed to date back to 1800 in part and has been extended to provide a versatile family home that has character and charm in abundance. The newly added entrance porch and hallway leads directly from the driveway and has black slate hardwearing flooring. Passing by the very useful utility room, where there is space for a washing machine and tumble drier, you enter the kitchen / breakfast room that is a fantastic space and really does create the heart of the home. There is an array of bespoke, handmade fitted units fronted in cornflour blue which are complemented by oak work surfacing and ceramic marbled floor tiling. There is a free standing Rangemaster double oven and hob, Belfast sink with integrated appliances such as dishwasher, fridge and freezer, leaving ample room in the centre to place a table and chairs for more informal dining. Passing through an open archway you are able to relax in the sitting room, in front of the large wood burning stove that supplies supplementary heat to this section of the house. Passing by the foot of the staircase leading to the upper floors, you enter into the large dining room where the new meets with the oldest parts of the property seamlessly. This is evident in the exposed beams and timbers, creating a warm and inviting room to enjoy with your friends and family at dinner parties and social gatherings, flowing out through French doors onto the seating terrace to enjoy the surrounding gardens and maybe a dip in the hot-tub! The sitting room is large and encapsulates the individuality of this property with its low ceilings and deep rouge coloured decor. Two windows allow flow of light from the front of the property, adjoining the passing lane, and the focal point of the room is most definitely the inglenook fireplace with wood burner that dominates the far wall. The capacious shower room, with an open walk-in shower enclosure, basin and w.c. Completes the ground floor. From a half landing the four bedrooms are balanced over the ground floor in two areas. The master benefits from having a wall of built in wardrobes, fronted in half glazed white painted doors, that utilise perfectly the eaves of the roof space as the ceiling of this room follows that of the roof line. Natural daylight floods this bright room via dual aspect windows, one being a dorma style. The family shower room is situated adjacent to the master and again follows the line of the roof continuing the flow of character, and is wood panelled to dado height. The final room in this wing is a bedroom that is currently being used as the home office. Generous in size, there is a slight recess that has been fitted with wooden storage compartments, making best use of every available space and angle of the property. The remaining two bedrooms can be reached by ascending the second short flight of stairs and are similar to the previous bedrooms mentioned, benefitting from a generous amount of natural daylight and character features, whether it is the angled ceilings, deep window cills and dorma windows. A loft space can be accessed from the landing and is accessed through a small doorway at hand height that makes for easy storage space. All exterior windows are double glazed, and all interior doors are an appealing mix of original and reclaimed stripped doors with iron latch fittings.
Rudge End Cottage benefits from having wrap around gardens. In the immediately vicinity to the cottage there is the driveway secured with a pair of wooden gates, that offers parking for several vehicles, a lavender and conifer garden that leads upward to a secluded lawned garden at the rear of the property, where a charming pond is shaded by a variety of trees such as Willow, Silver Birch, Poplar and fruit trees such as apple, pear, plum and cherry. At the furthest point of the garden is placed a summer house, where you might sit and take in the beautiful surrounding views, wildlife and picturesque countryside that surrounds you. Making your way around to the side there is an area that is bordered by trellising and pergolas and as it flows directly out from the dining room makes a fantastic entertaining space. A large detached double garage that is kept divided offers the versatility of safe and secure stowage of your vehicles with that of storage and workshop space. Added to this there has been a solid floor inserted in the roofspace, thus creating still further storage and floorspace that is accessed through a single doorway on the upper garden level.
