Notes and Comments:

Situation and Description
Hanging Bank Cottage overlooks the small village of Evenjobb which despite its size has a thriving community centered around an active village hall and church. The local area is renowned for its natural beauty and ideal for keen walkers and outdoor enthusiasts. The popular local towns of Kington (5 miles), Presteigne (5 miles) and Knighton (7 miles) offer an excellent variety of services, with a choice of schools, medical facilities, shops and more. The cathedral City of Hereford then lies 25 miles away and has a mainline train station.

This traditional stone cottage occupies a tucked away position with wonderful far-reaching views over the landscape. Full of character and charm, the cottage is positioned away from main roads and stands in good-sized gardens along with an area of mature mixed woodland. The current owners have added a very sympathetic extension, along with a detached garage, studio and workshop, all creating versatile and practical living space in a very private and peaceful setting.

The Cottage is approached by a right of way over a private lane and then by its own gated drive which leads to a parking area to the rear. The front door leads into a small porch and then two ground floor reception rooms, both full of character with flagged floors, exposed timbers, a fireplace with fitted wood burner, radiators and windows to the front and side. A door then leads through to an inner hall again with a flagged floor and radiator, and to a very useful ground floor shower room. The inner hall opens into a large open plan kitchen/breakfast room with wooden flooring, granite working surfaces, two oven Aga, deep fill sink, plenty of cupboard space, a plate rack and large built-in cupboard which houses the oil-fired central heating boiler. The adjoining family room is a quieter space to sit and relax and has a quarry tiled floor and windows and glazed doors opening out to the gardens as well as spectacular views over open countryside.

From the inner hall a staircase leads up to a good-sized landing with a roof light, access to roof space and radiator. Doors then give access to four comfortable and individual bedrooms, all enjoying far reaching views over the surrounding countryside. The bedrooms are then supported by a family bathroom which has all the usual fittings, including a freestanding bath on claw and ball feet. A second staircase from one of the bedrooms then leads down to the ground floor allowing all four bedrooms to be independent.

Outside
Close to the rear of the cottage a detached timber garage includes two open-fronted garage bays, an enclosed single garage, a workshop with fitted wood burner and a separate WC. An external staircase then leads up to a studio room and roof terrace which makes the most of the spectacular views. The building as a whole, offers scope for a variety of uses, and in our view is a huge asset to the property.

The gardens and woodland then extend to approximately 1.12 acres and include terraced lawned to the front and side, interspersed with a number of shrubs and herbaceous borders all with the backdrop of stunning views. There is a wood store and domestic oil tank for the central heating, viewpoints and a path leading into the mature and mixed woodland which is a haven for wildlife as well as a source of firewood.
