Property Details

Situated in the popular Herefordshire village of Bodenham, around eight miles to the north of the city of Hereford, is this Grade II listed, detached, four bedroom character cottage surrounded by gardens with a brook and orchard. A bridge over the brook takes you on the gravel driveway up to the house with space for turning and parking multiple vehicles. To the side is one of the outbuildings consisting of a garage/workshop, wood store and a covered storage area with bin store. A covered porch shelters the front door which takes you into the main entrance hall and the property�s history is immediately evident with original beams in the walls and ceiling. To the left is the main reception room where the immaculate presentation and history - common to the whole cottage - continues. A feature fireplace with stone surround and beam houses a wood-burning stove and the room has a window overlooking the front. Straight ahead in the hall, a door leads into a utility area with a sink and storage and a door to the outside. At the end of this area is a shower room with underfloor heating, double-size, fully tiled shower cubicle, hand basin and wc - a useful addition to the ground floor offering. The entrance hall features a closet next to the door into the kitchen/dining room. With space for a dining table and chairs and other occasional furniture to one end, the kitchen itself features a wide range of floor and wall units, a range cooker as well as the oven set in the fireplace, room for other white goods, a central island with cupboards, drawers and wine rack, recessed ceiling spotlights and a Belfast sink under the window with views out to the front.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the sun room which offers further living and dining space - or perhaps a play room or snug - with part-vaulted ceiling with beams and two skylights as well as windows across the back and sides and double doors leading out into the garden. Stairs lead up from the entrance hall to a landing with vaulted celling and space for furniture as well as access to all of the bedrooms and the family bathroom; complete with wc, sink, bath with tiled walls and shower over, and a window to the rear. The principal suite features more exposed beams, a window to the front and an en-suite shower room with hand basin, wc and corner shower cubicle. The largest of the four bedrooms is to the rear with views out to the back garden and beyond and it too benefits from a vaulted ceiling and fitted wardrobes along one wall. There is a fitted cupboard/wardrobe in another of the bedrooms and the smallest of the four is currently in use as a study/office. In addition to the aforementioned garage/workshop building, there is also a summer house/garden studio which could serve myriad uses. A decking area at the front overhangs a pond with stoney �beach� all around. This forms part of the wider outside space which is characterised by lawned areas, established borders, trees and shrubs, a productive vegetable patch and a brook running through. The double doors from the sun room lead out onto a patio area with space for al fresco dining and entertaining alongside the brook; whilst enjoying the well-maintained and cared for surrounding gardens. The word unique is often wrongly used to describe properties but this one is truly one of a kind. With its varied and versatile living accommodation both inside and out, this is an opportunity not to be missed and we highly recommend viewing to fully appreciate what is on offer.
