Location
Greytree Cottage is set within Upton Bishop, an idyllic village that features The Moody Cow, a reputable pub and restaurant, plus the Upton Bishop Millennium Hall. This substantial community centre is used by many different groups for all types of activities.
The village is three miles from Ross-on-Wye, a popular market town that offers a good variety of supermarkets, shops, restaurants, leisure facilities and highly regarded schools.
The M50 motorway is approximately two miles away and provides excellent commuter links to the M5 giving good access to Birmingham and Bristol. The A40, also two miles away, leads to the M4 at Newport, giving good access to Cardiff and London.
The home at a glance
Greytree Cottage is a picture-perfect countryside cottage. The handsome dining kitchen serves as a welcoming heart of the home and carries neutral-coloured units which are complimented by wooden worktops. A Belfast sink with mixer tap, Classic Belling electric range cooker, built-in plate rack, timbered ceiling and storage built-in to alcoves within the thick stone walls all exhibit the homely character of the home.
Beyond here, two steps lead up to a light-streamed sitting room. This area bears a log-burning stove, a staple of country life. The room also includes shelving built within a large alcove and a Victorian-style radiator.
The attractive family bathroom is also positioned on the ground floor. This has a slipper bath with a shower attachment, a walk-in dual-headed shower, a WC with a vintage cistern and a countertop vanity unit.
The first floor accommodates three bedrooms, the largest of which is a beautifully bright dual-aspect space boasting a high ceiling. The chimney breast comes through this room and gives another attractive feature. The second bedroom, which also carries a high ceiling, includes a built-in cupboard with drawers and shelving on two sides of the room. The third bedroom is presently utilised as a study and its window superbly showcases the boundless rural landscape.
The fantastic country home is as practical as it is beautiful - many touches support the countryside lifestyle. For instance, the main entrance leads into a boot room, an area that gives plenty of room to remove and store muddy shoes and coats after time spent enjoying the great outdoors. This room also provides space and plumbing for both a washing machine and a dishwasher, as well as a ceiling pulley airer. It is also worth noting that there is a dog shower just outside and the garden is fully enclosed, ensuring a safe space for pets.
The garden is divided into a series of "rooms", with the section closest to the home serving as an excellent elevated space to sit and overlook the rolling rural scenery. The second zone, beyond a pergola archway, is a verdant space, which is alive with vibrant blooms and a mature magnolia tree takes centre stage. There is also a hardstanding, giving good space for a summerhouse or a greenhouse.
A set of double gates lead out of the garden, to the generous driveway, positioned next to the detached garage, which has light and a power supply.
