Location
Weston under Penyard is an idyllic village that boasts a 17th-century pub, The Weston Cross, as well as a Church of England primary school which is graded "Good" by Ofsted.
The village is a short distance (approximately two miles) from Ross-on-Wye, a beautiful market town which is famed for being the birthplace of British tourism due to its spectacular scenery; the town is perched on red sandstone cliffs which overlook the River Wye.
The town centre features an assortment of shops, independently owned boutiques, a range of restaurants, welcoming pubs, various leisure facilities, plus a network of countryside and riverside walks. There are also four primary schools and one high school in the town, as well as two GP surgeries and a community hospital.
Weston is within easy reach of major road networks; the A40 runs through the village and the eastbound road provides a direct route to Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds. Meanwhile, motorists heading in the opposite direction can journey towards the M4 at Newport, giving access to Cardiff and London. In addition, the M50 motorway begins in Ross-on-Wye, and this gives good access to the M5 - leading to Birmingham to the north and Bristol to the south.
It is also worth noting that Birmingham City Airport, Bristol Airport and Cardiff Airport are each approximately one hour away by car.


The home at a glance
This cottage has excellent potential and would make an excellent project for a new owner to truly make the property their own. Cuckoo's Nest is set off a quiet country lane, surrounded by glorious countryside. There is an off-road parking space and, to access the property, follow a wooden door into a small courtyard. On the left-hand side, there is a small outbuilding which features an old bread oven and the main cottage is on the opposite side of the courtyard.
The cottage itself could benefit from a degree of refurbishment but the bare bones are lovely; there are several charming character features, including an exposed brick fireplace in the sitting room which houses a wood-burning stove, and a cast iron fireplace and vaulted ceiling in the bedroom, as well as a series of exposed beams throughout the top floor.
There is also a tranquil secret garden beyond the courtyard, which gives a serene spot to enjoy the surrounding scenery.
