Situation Linton is a small, rural village situated about 6 miles east of the picturesque and historic riverside market town of Ross-on-Wye. Surrounded by rolling Herefordshire countryside, this is a rural, yet not isolated, idyll offering a pastoral quality of life, yet with good access to commuter links and within easy reach of the larger towns and cities in the locality.
Orchard Cottage * This delightful period stone cottage is believed to date to c. 1820 and has been recently extended to provide a spacious home. A great deal of thought has been put into the extension, with the addition of large picture windows and floor to ceiling glazing and bi-fold doors, to make the most of the stunning views which can be seen from the rear of the property.
* A covered entrance porch leads into the spacious entrance hall/study space and through to the generous and light kitchen/dining room.
* The kitchen provides plenty of storage, including a useful walk-in larder, and benefits from a central island/breakfast bar, inset with an induction hob with built-in extractor. There is also a Belfast-style sink, an integrated dishwasher, separate integrated full height fridge and freezer, double electric oven, and microwave. Attractive, quartz work-surfaces and Mandarin Stone limestone flagstone flooring further complement this light and airy space.
* A separate utility room offers additional storage and benefits from a Belfast-style sink, an integrated washing machine and tumble dryer, with a separate WC leading off and direct access to the external parking area.
* A comfortable sitting room, which is in the original cottage, features an attractive stone fireplace inset with a wood-burning stove.
* An open, wooden staircase leads up to the first floor, where there are four, good-sized double bedrooms, and a main shower room. The principal bedroom has a dressing room and an en-suite with separate, free standing bath and walk-in shower.
The Outside * Orchard Cottage is situated in an elevated position and enjoys breath-taking and uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside and to the Malvern Hills.
* The property is approached of a quiet village lane which leads to a parking area situated next to the house, where there is private, off-road parking for up to 4 vehicles. There is also access to an exterior hot water tap, useful for washing off muddy dogs.
* A gated access leads into the garden and to the front of the property and entrance hall. From the parking area, steps lead up to the back door and directly into a rear lobby.
* The manageable garden is mainly lawn, complemented by some mature hedging and shrubs, and offers plenty of scope for keen gardeners to further develop the garden, if desired.
• There is also an attractive patio terrace and seating area accessed directly from the kitchen/breakfast room, which is ideally placed to take in the stunning views. In addition, a raised terraced area has been created, for a hot tub or a garden studio, etc. (electricity supply in place). A useful shed/store provides storage for garden equipment.
• Exterior lighting has been installed on the driveway and around the rear of the property, which can be controlled remotely.
