This charming three bedroom stone fronted cottage sits in an idyllic countryside setting. This quintessential property is full of character and charm and has a rare and enviable boast of a generous plot of large lawned gardens.

Woodland and countryside walks quite literally begin on the doorstep. This is a real opportunity to embrace countryside living in a truly picturesque setting. This pretty cottage oozes potential, ideal for those seeking an unrivalled countryside connection.

The property.
Set within its own sizeable plot of approximately 0.6 acre, May cottage is a period stone built three bedroom home located in the small hamlet of Dancing Green which lies approximately 3 miles to the east of the market town of Ross on Wye.

Internally, the property is the epitome of countryside living, having original exposed solid oak beams throughout.
Location:
Set on the edge of Hope Mansel woodland and Penyard Hill, the expanse of available walks and pathways is endless. Just a short drive to the west lies the market town of Ross on Wye which offers a good range of shopping, social, and sporting facilities. There are excellent road links via the M50 and A40, which lead to the Midlands and South Wales and the South West.

The stone based entrance porch leads to a pretty drawing/dining room with period features in abundance including solid oak beams and pillars. A solid wood ledge & brace door leads to a cosy living room complete with an exposed stone inglenook fireplace and that all important wood burning stove at its heart, a must have in a country cottage and perfect on a cosy winters eve or after a long walk in the surrounding woodland. An original bread oven sits adjacent to the inglenook fireplace and completes the picture.

A good size fitted kitchen takes in the morning sun for breakfast as do the dining room and lounge. This south facing home really does make the most of the natural light available.

Accessed from the reception room is a really useful rear lobby area with space for shoes and coats, an essential pantry to the rear of the lobby area, so often overlooked in modern properties is a great addition. The bathroom is of a good proportion. A uPVC porch to the rear of the cottage is great for drying wet dogs and storing muddy boots.

Upstairs
A beautiful original oak panelled stair wall leads to three good sized bedrooms, all welcoming the morning sun and overlooking the substantial gardens to the fore. Bedroom three being accessed from bedroom two, could easily be adapted to create a dressing room or en-suite, if required.

Grounds and Gardens.
Amounting approximately to 0.6 acre, these pretty gardens are an enviable asset to this beautiful cottage. A part gravelled driveway flanks the attractive lawned area to the fore with a mature Willow taking centre stage. Extensive off road parking and caravan/motorhome storage is located at its northern boundary, as are the spectacular, panoramic views over the adjacent countryside to the fore and Penyard Hill and Malvern Hills in the distance. A more perfect spot to erect a summer house, you will be hard pushed to find. The garden enjoys numerous mature trees and cottage garden area. A useful timber summer house and greenhouse are great for the more green fingered among you.

In conclusion, this pretty rural cottage has huge potential to create a dream location for those seeking a perfect country retreat.
