The Cedars is situated in the beautiful Wye Valley, Herefordshire in the village of Whitchurch which is midway between Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth on the border between England and Wales. The village itself has a good selection of pubs/eating establishments as well as a local shop/Post Office and a highly regarded Primary School. Whitchurch is approximately 16 miles from the Cathedral city of Hereford which has a good range of shops and services, whilst Monmouth, which is just 3 miles away, also provides good shops including Waitrose and Marks and Spencer, as well as the popular Haberdashers School for boys and girls. Ross-on-Wye is a quaint market town often described as the gateway to the Wye Valley.
Communications are very good with the nearby A40 providing fast access to the M50 at Ross-on-Wye and the M4 at Newport. There are railway stations with inter-city rail links at Hereford, Newport and Bristol Parkway and international airports at Birmingham, Bristol and Cardiff.
The area has a selection of recreational opportunities which include the Rolls of Monmouth Golf Club, racecourses at Chepstow, Hereford, Worcester and Cheltenham as well as theatres in Hereford, Cheltenham and Malvern. There are glorious walks and rides through the surrounding countryside as well as canoeing on the River Wye.
The property
The Cedars is a large attached family residence which dates back to the mid 1800s. The property has a selection of period features including flagstone and wood flooring, Victorian fireplaces and two staircases alongside all the modern necessities such as en-suite shower rooms and double glazing.
The main appeal of The Cedars is its very flexible accommodation which would make it suitable for a variety of uses including a guesthouse, nursing home, Bed and Breakfast or artists studio as well as having the option for two families living together or letting out part of the property to provide additional income.
The accommodation can be divided to create a 7 bedroom house with a 1 bedroom annexe or a 5 bedroom house with a 3 bedroom annexe. Alternatively the house can be used as a whole to provide a very spacious, comfortable family home.
The property is approached from a side road onto a paved forecourt. Double wrought iron gates lead to a large paved parking area/courtyard giving access to a large garage/workshop and a single garage. A covered verandah with a Mandarin slate tiled walkway leads to all of the entrance doors.
Gardens and grounds
The gardens lie principally to the west of the house beyond the large parking area/courtyard. A pathway leads up to two terraced lawns surrounded by well-stocked flower and shrub borders. The covered verandah attached to the house provides a delightful outside eating area.
Outbuildings
The large garage/workshop and additional single garage provide two very useful outbuildings for garaging, workshop areas or storage space |
