About this property
Luxurious Cottage with Lovely Views in Rural Location
VICARAGE COTTAGE has been renovated to a high standard, offering high class accommodation for a couple who want to “get away from it all”. The ancient stone & half-timbered cottage, with beams throughout, is spacious, comfortable and full of character. With lovely views across the Radnorshire Hills the cottage has its own private garden.
Downstairs: the living room has a real country feel with its ancient inglenook fireplace, bread oven and antique, cast iron Victorian kitchen range. The living room, with rugs on the quarry tiled floor, has two comfortable sofas and lovely countryside views. The well-equipped country-style kitchen/dining room has a quarry-tiled floor, and antique farmhouse table, chairs and cupboard. The kitchen has distant views and a stable door to the drive and parking area for one car. There is an ancient, oak winding staircase from the living room to a second living area on the first floor.
Upstairs: the second sitting room has beams and a high ceiling, open to the roof apex. The double bedroom, high-ceilinged with beams open to roof apex, boasts a comfortable, draped Victorian brass & iron half-tester (4-poster) 4'6" double bed and rugs on the polished wooden floor. The double bed has cotton duvet cover, sheet & pillows beneath a gorgeous, designer counterpane. The bathroom has a modern white bathroom suite, with shower over, and toilet. Luxury Egyptian cotton towels and bathrobes are included.
Close to Offa’s Dyke Path, Ludlow and Hay-on-Wye are 20 miles away. The nearest town is Presteigne, just 2 miles away. Shops, restaurants & pubs 2 miles.
