SALE BY TENDER
COTSWOLD HOUSE is in an elevated south facing position on the edge of the built-up area of Pencombe village. It joins the by-road leading from the village to Stoke Lacy via Little Cowarne and on the east side is bounded by an open field. Pencombe is a popular village having its own historic church, village hall and primary school. Bromyard, with all its amenities, is just 4 miles, approx. 11 Leominster and 13 Hereford.

The rooms are large including a 15’ sitting room, 17’ lounge, 18’ kitchen and three large double bedrooms.
Outside, there are ground of *NEARLY ONE ACRE* having development potential, subject to planning. At present, they are mainly down to fir, oak and ash trees with ample space to construct a drive and parking area.
