The PropertyThe property was fully and thoughtfully refurbished and extended in 2011 and has the solid feel of a well built house packed with stylish, modern features as evidenced in the use of hardwoods throughout in both internal and external doors and window frames. It offers a bright, welcoming, modern family home, providing space and opportunity for all family members’ needs and interests. The garden offers a large workshop and whimsically a French-style Gite.
Surrounded by astonishing views to the far wilds of Wales, the house is located on the outskirts of the peaceful village of Madley, with its primary school, convenience store, pub and post office. While lying just 9 miles from Hereford city centre.
The spacious Sitting room spans the depth of the house offering delightful dual aspect views encompassing the wider country vistas. Bifold doors offer access to a patio and rear gardens. The room, with solid oak flooring features a free-standing woodburner on a stone hearth and cosy reading nook with large feature 7 shelf bookcase.
The Dining room also has patio doors opening to the rear garden and a useful under-stair, storage cupboard, currently utilised as a wine cellar. This room is one of numerous spaces that could as readily function as a home office.
The bright, airy Kitchen is fully fitted with classic white wall and base units with solid wood countertops and integrated appliances, including gas hob. The flooring is Italian bluestone tile that continues through much of the ground floor and also features a Belfast sink and sleek upright radiator. A door leads into a large walk-in Pantry/Larder offering ample storage and further access to a cloakroom with WC that houses the Worcester Greenstar boiler.
Off the kitchen lies the large garage, part of which is currently used as a utility room, it has recessed lighting and a huge picture window and would make both a Dining room and Utility room, subject to the relevant building permissions.
The stairway is flooded with light from a triple window on the half landing which demands pause to enjoy the astonishing views. The Master suite is spacious and enjoys dual aspect and access to a delightful rear balcony on which to bask in the panoramic views. The Ensuite is fresh, modern and fully tiled with walk-in shower enclosure with rain head, WC, basin and heated towel rail.
The front double bedroom is well-sized and has a large built-in wardrobe with fabric covers. A single bedroom also cleverly utilises space with a built-in wardrobe. And on the landing is a full height Airing Cupboard with plenty of storage. This floor is completed by a bright and crisp Family Bathroom, finished with bath, wall-mounted shower, basin, WC, heated towel rail and storage units.
The attic conversion offers a double fourth bedroom with ample storage space in the eaves - a multifunctional space that would work equally well as a teenage bedroom, home office or media /hobby room.
The cottage garden is a haven for birds with timber raised beds and is packed with herbs and soft fruit. Nestled at the far end is a Gite or cabin, with tiled floor, mezzanine platform, Belfast sink, power and lighting. It offers a charming ‘playroom’ regardless of age. The garden also holds a large cedar tool store which would make an ideal workshop.
