Location
Llangrove, an idyllic south Herefordshire village, offers plenty of local amenities including a Church of England primary school, which carries an 'Outstanding' rating from SIAMS and a 'Good' grade from Ofsted. There is also a popular village hall which hosts many different activities and a welcoming church which hosts services every Sunday. The Royal Arms at the top of Llangrove is a 17th-century pub and this regularly earns rave reviews online for good food, excellent beer and a welcoming atmosphere. The Great Trewen Milk Shed, situated next to the village hall, near the play park, is also worth a special mention. This self-service vending machine provides fresh, gently pasteurised whole milk along with a small range of groceries such as fresh eggs, cakes, butter and cheese.
Even more amenities, including another excellent primary school, a well-stocked village shop and a reputable MOT centre, can be found in the neighbouring village of Whitchurch two miles away.
Llangrove sits equidistant between the historic market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, which fringe the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. More comprehensive facilities can be found in the surrounding cathedral cities of Hereford, Worcester and Gloucester and the Regency Spa town of Cheltenham.
The spectacular setting of Symonds Yat, which is one of the most well-known landscapes within the AONB, is a short drive (around ten minutes) from Llangrove. This location is famed for its phenomenal river scenery, woodland expanses and limestone cliffs. There are several riverside pubs and restaurants which are exceedingly popular with residents and tourists alike - and a wide range of outdoor pursuits; walking, cycling, canoeing and wild swimming, are easily accessible.
Llangrove also boasts excellent transport links. Two miles away, motorists can join the A40; the eastbound road provides a direct route to Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds whereas the westbound route heads towards the M4 at Newport, giving access to Cardiff and London. In addition, the M50 motorway begins near Ross-on-Wye nine miles away, giving good access to the M5 - leading to Birmingham to the north and Bristol to the south.
The home at a glance
The main entrance into this bright and airy home leads into a reception hall which gives an attractive first impression. A timelessly elegant Mandarin Stone Travertine floor flows throughout the ground floor and, to the right, there is a triple aspect open-plan living space. This accommodates a Howdens kitchen, which has grey shaker-style units, a central island, which gives ample space to prepare delicious meals, integrated appliances including a dishwasher and microwave, and an electric Rangemaster cooker with an induction hob and extractor fan. There is also space for an American-style fridge/freezer. The dining area features an exposed brick fireplace that houses a woodburning stove and a set of French doors lead out to a wooden deck which offers a fantastic alfresco dining space.
To the left of the entrance hall, there is another reception room which can serve as a perfect snug or formal dining room. Light pours in through a box bay window, which frames the front garden beautifully.
The hall - which includes various built-in storage cupboards - wraps around to the left, presenting a study, a cloakroom and a utility room. At the far end, an expansive and triple-aspect sitting room is found. This features a Stovax gas stove, which presents a contemporary focal point and a set of French doors which lead out to the garden.
The first floor is home to the four bedrooms. The largest bedroom, a dual aspect space, has an en-suite shower room, whereas the second largest bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe plus an adjoining leisure room which has a vaulted ceiling and Velux window. This can be adopted as a playroom, gym or additional bedroom. The third bedroom carries a slanted ceiling, a built-in wardrobe and a Dormer window which exhibits a magnificent view of rolling country hills. The fourth bedroom also includes a built-in wardrobe and offers a vista over a neighbouring paddock and the village beyond.
In terms of washing facilities, the elegant family bathroom has a slipper bath, a double walk-in shower, a vanity unit, a WC and an illuminated mirror. There is also fashionable grey panelling which beautifies the serene space.
Outside, the garden wraps around the home. At the front, flower beds are bursting with blooms and other plants and a lawn flows around either side of Haseley House. On the right-hand side of the property, there is a log storage area and, at the rear, the wooden deck gives a fantastic spot to soak in the glorious surrounding scenery. This leads down to a lawn which also features extensive raised bed kitchen gardens, complete with a substantial greenhouse.
The detached double garage gives plenty of space to store vehicles and offers additional space for a workshop. There is light, power, roller shutter doors and a room above which could be used as a storage space or games room. There could be an opportunity to convert the garage into an annexe (subject to planning).
