SUMMARY

An imaginatively modernised, 3-bedroom cottage, which retains all of the best features of the original circa 17th Century property. This snug, low-maintenance home enjoys a central location in the delightful village of Pembridge (see www.mediaeval-pembridge.com for details).
This thriving community, just 12 miles from Hereford city, possesses a primary school, shops, pubs, doctor?s surgery, beautiful church, immediate access to glorious countryside, and four Michelin rosette restaurants within a half-hour drive, thus providing an attractive environment that is much sought-after. The property will serve equally well as a main family home or perhaps a second home retreat from the stresses of modern life.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The property is a middle cottage in an attractive village row, elevated above the roadway and, although it appears to be small from the outside, it has a surprisingly roomy and attractive interior with high ceilings, timbered features and, in the sitting room, a splendid inglenook fireplace - which provides a wonderfully cosy log fire on cool winter nights.
The adjacent sitting room and dining hall create a harmonious living environment that visitors always comment upon favourably. The separate kitchen area is reasonably spacious and very functional, and the adjoining morning/breakfast room is light and airy ? with a pleasant outlook onto the flagstone patio and rear garden.
The ground floor has efficient mains gas central heating (and further heating in the main bedroom and bathroom), with secondary double-glazing throughout the main accommodation.

On the first floor there are 3 Bedrooms with an excellent master bedroom, and a separate family bathroom.
At the rear of the property there is a secluded, west facing, flagstone patio that is an agreeable suntrap, behind which is a small but pleasant garden.
