Notes and Comments:
Situation and Description
The delightful and extremely picturesque village of Eardisland lies in north Herefordshire and is part of the black and white village trail. Full of half-timbered properties, the village lies close to the River Arrow and is a much sought-after and desirable place to live. Local facilities include a village church, community shop, two public houses, delightful walks and a regular bus service to the market town of Leominster, which provides more extensive services as well as a main line train station.
This interesting house has been improved by the current owner with a refurbished bathroom, new oak flooring, a remodeled kitchen and more. Full of period charm throughout, the house benefits from gas-fired central heating, plenty of storage space, off-road parking for several cars and lovely gardens at the rear, which are well stocked and a real surprise.
On arrival, steps lead up to the front door and into the living/ reception room with useful fitted bookshelves to one wall, oak flooring, understairs storage cupboard, and doorway through to the breakfast/dining/kitchen rooms. The sitting room is full of character, it includes a fireplace with fitted wood burner, ideal for colder evenings, windows to the front and side and glazed French doors allowing direct access to the gardens. At the rear of the cottage the breakfast or dining room adjoins a well-fitted kitchen with plenty of cupboard space, as well as a built-in AEG oven and four ring gas hob.
Windows overlook the gardens at the rear and the breakfast/dining room provides additional cupboard space and another fireplace with fitted wood burner. The ground floor is supported by a useful utility area with fitted gas fired boiler, door to outside and door to a useful ground floor cloakroom.
On the first floor, there are three individual double bedrooms all with their own character, with two of the rooms benefiting from fitted wardrobes or cupboards. The bedrooms are supported by a refurbished bathroom with shower over the bath, bidet and window to the rear.
Outside
Lying close to the village centre, the cottage is approached from the main road and has a large hard standing area to the front which allows ample parking space for at least three cars. A gate leads to the side of the cottage, and to the rear gardens, which are extensive and a real delight to explore. Enclosed by fencing, brick walling and mixed hedging, the gardens include a large sun terrace, patio, lawned areas, a herb garden, well stocked borders and various trees. The gardens are private and offer a real haven from the hustle and bustle of modern life. They continue for some distance at the rear, with a bed of soft fruit and a small orchard containing a damson, plum, apple and quince trees, with a wilder section furthest away from the cottage with a pond and enough space for vegetables or chickens. There are two useful garden sheds and a greenhouse, closer to the cottage.
