Charming Hillside Cottage with Breathtaking Views Over the Wye Valley
Positioned on the highly sought after Leys Hill in Herefordshire, this extended cottage offers a desirable blend of charm, modern comfort, and some of the most spectacular views in the area. Overlooking the famous Wye Valley and across to the wild beauty of Coppet Hill, this is a home that captures the heart at first glance.
Tucked into the historic woodland landscape of Leys Hill with the renowned Wye Valley Walk literally on your doorstep, this peaceful cottage retreat invites you to immerse yourself in nature. Morning walks through the adjacent forest are a daily joy, revealing the everchanging colours of the seasons and the gentle soundtrack of birdsong for company along the way.
The outdoor space has been cleverly landscaped to create a meandering journey through lush, flourishing gardens, with hidden spots to pause, reflect, and soak in the tranquillity. The elevated position ensures visitors take a short, awe inspired breath upon arrival as they drink in the panoramic views that stretch across the valley below.
The main residence offers a characterful interior that makes the most of its incredible setting. The kitchen enjoys an amazing woodland outlook with extensive work space and storage cupboards in abundance. The flow continues into a cozy dining area, perfect for family get togethers or entertaining friends alike, a full width archway brings us into the light filled summer room, an irresistible spot to relax and unwind, curl up with a book or a magazine whilst sipping on a relaxing glass of wine, made all the more inviting by the stunning 270 degree outlook and a charming wood-burning stove for the winter months. This space shines throughout the seasons, flooded with sunlight in summer and wrapped in everchanging woodland serenity during winter.
Continuing through Rose Cottage brings us to the sizable sitting room which continues the theme of natural connection, offering far-reaching views over the Wye valley via the full width glazed patio doors which leads to the elevated al fresco dining area to the fore. A welcoming atmosphere for family gatherings or quiet evenings in.
Upstairs, the bedrooms are beautifully appointed, with views that make waking up an unforgettable experience. The master bedroom is a standout, with full-width patio doors opening onto a glazed balcony, perfectly framing the morning light and rolling countryside. Wildlife sightings of deer, badgers, and foxes are common companions to your morning coffee. A stylish family bathroom and a separate boutique-style shower room serve the upper floor, combining contemporary finishes with thoughtful design.
Outside, an expansive stone patio accessed from both the sitting room and summer room creates the perfect al fresco dining area. Bathed in sunlight from mid-morning to sunset, it�s ideal for morning coffee, evening wine, or simply watching the light shift over the Wye valley below. The professionally landscaped gardens are full of established shrubs and ground cover plants giving low maintenance and all year round colour. There are also thoughtfully designed safe, flat play areas for children.
Adding to the property�s appeal is a detached one-bedroom annexe with its own private garden. The carefully considered layout within is ideal for multigenerational living, guest accommodation, a teenager�s retreat, or as an Airbnb/long term rental for additional income.
For those seeking space to create or unwind, a contemporary home office, artist�s studio, or fitness room offers a versatile and inspiring setting, separate from the main house.
Practicality is not overlooked with a generous size garage/workshop, a dream for motor enthusiasts or hobbyists with ample off-road parking.
This is a home of rare tranquillity and location, perfectly positioned to enjoy one of Herefordshire�s most beautiful landscapes. Whether entertaining guests, finding creative inspiration, or simply seeking peace and quiet, this remarkable hillside haven offers it all.
