Craswall, Hereford

The Rock is a detached period cottage found in the foothills of the Black Mountains situated in the rural village of Craswall.

Description - The property sits in approximately 1.41 acres with frontage to the River Monnow and delightful grounds.

Situation - Craswall is a linear settlement approximately 7 miles from Hay-on-Wye. The village is known as a highly desirable destination for holiday makers, tourists and those seeking somewhere far from the maddening crowd. Craswall is a haven for wildlife and recreation and yet accessible from the M4 junction 24 at Newport. The village also boasts an excellent pub / restaurant known as the Bulls Head which has recently reopened to high acclaim.
Hay-on-Wye is approximately 7 miles away and is a renowned bustling market town which is popular with tourists and is famous for its annual literary festival. The town, often referred to as the ‘town of books’ due to its wealth of second-hand bookshops, offers an excellent range of facilities including boutique shops, restaurants, cafes, a supermarket, medical practice, two dental surgeries, a primary school, cinema and several public houses.
The Black Mountains offer excellent walking and riding opportunities with the Offa’s Dyke path being a popular walking route.

Accommodation - Enter into a porch and then through the front door into the sitting room with a window to the front and wood burner.
A door leads through into the kitchen with a drainer sink, solid wood unit with cupboard storage and a free-standing gas cooker. A door also leads through into the conservatory with a delightful outlook over the gardens and grounds to the rear and double doors to the side, with steps down to a stone flagged terrace extending round to the north and east sides of the house.
From the kitchen, there are steps down and a door leading into the dining room with three windows, a door opening on to the terrace, and a wood burner. There is also a door with a staircase to the first-floor bedroom.
From the hallway there is a downstairs bathroom with a cupboard, close coupled W.C., wash basin and enamelled bath with shower above.
From the hallway a staircase leads to the first-floor landing with one bedroom on the right-hand side with a window to the front. The main bedroom can be found on the left-hand side with a window to the front. From the main bedroom a doorway leads through to a further bedroom with a dormer window looking out over the rear garden and an airing cupboard enclosing the hot water cylinder.

Outside - The property is approached from a country lane into its own driveway.
Within the garden there is a front floral boarder and level lawn and in the garden is a former railway carriage/garden store. Attached to the house there is a garage 3.71m x 2.75m with an up and over front door containing the water filtration system and oil-fired boiler.
A pathway leads around to the rear with the garden extending up above to an orchard and at the end is a footbridge which leads to a small area of woodland and down to a very pleasant and quiet seating area looking out over the river.
