Location
Linton is a picturesque village, a short drive - roughly five miles - from Ross-on-Wye, a popular market town that offers a good variety of supermarkets, shops, restaurants, leisure facilities and highly-regarded schools.
A grand 13th-century church stands in the centre of Linton and the Alma Inn, a family-run pub, is a short distance away. This was recently crowned pub of the year by Herefordshire's branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) - and the 2021 award has marked the third time that the inn has earned this accolade since the current landlords took over in 2015. Each June the Alma Inn hosts Linton Festival, a three-day long music festival and, later in the year, the pub also stages the one-day-long Linton Summer Sessions. Both events raise money for various charities, most of which benefit the local community.
The home at a glance
Shutton House is believed to date back to the 1600s and, because of its age, the property boasts a quirky olde-worlde character. A large garden is laid out in front of the home while a private courtyard is tucked away to the rear.
The front door leads into a small entrance hall and the lounge is found to the left. This room has wooden floors, white stone walls and contrasting black exposed beams, all of which present the property as a sublime chocolate-box cottage. This room also features a wood-burning stove which is framed by exposed brickwork.
The open-plan kitchen and dining room is a lovely area for families to gather while meals are prepared. The centrepiece of the room is a beautiful Rayburn cast iron cooker, which is surrounded by pretty decorative tiles. The kitchen was installed three years ago by Wren Kitchens and this features hard-wearing Corian work surfaces, a Corian basin and integrated appliances. The whole area is chic but not out-of-touch with the rustic feel of the home.
The three bedrooms and family bathroom are all found upstairs. The master bedroom looks out to a lovely view of the garden and the room also houses the airing cupboard, along with built-in wardrobes. The two smaller bedrooms are both accessible from the same entrance - ideal for two children or for someone wishing to convert one into a dressing room. The bathroom features a bath, walk-in shower and a built-in washstand.
The garden is entirely wonderful and features a phenomenal view of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire's rolling patchwork fields. There are various summerhouses plus a wooden cabin, with a corrugated metal roof, which serves as a fully-insulated garden office - this building is hooked up to Wi-Fi and electricity. There are also several decked-out seating areas, one of which is found at the very top of the garden in a secret spot next to a chicken coop and an outbuilding that could easily be utilised as a private bar.
