Location:

The idyllic south Herefordshire village of Llangrove offers plenty of local amenities, including a Church of England primary school, which carries an 'Outstanding' rating from SIAMS and a 'Good' grade from Ofsted. There is also a popular village hall, a church, and a reputable country pub, The Royal Arms, which regularly earns rave reviews online for good food, excellent beer, and an inviting atmosphere.

The Great Trewen Milk Shed, situated next to the village hall, is also worth a special mention. This self-service vending machine provides fresh, gently pasteurised whole milk along with a small range of groceries such as fresh eggs, cakes, butter, and cheese.

Even more amenities, including another excellent primary school, a well-stocked village shop, and a reputable MOT centre, can be found in the neighbouring village of Whitchurch, two miles away.

Llangrove is equidistant between the historic and well-appointed market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, which fringe the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The spectacular setting of Symonds Yat, which is one of the most well-known landscapes within the AONB, is a short drive (around ten minutes) from Llangrove. This location is famed for its phenomenal river scenery, woodland expanses, and limestone cliffs. There are several riverside pubs and restaurants which are exceedingly popular with residents and tourists alike - and a wide range of outdoor pursuits; walking, cycling, canoeing, and wild swimming, are easily accessible.

Llangrove also boasts good access to excellent transport links. Two miles away, motorists can join the A40; the eastbound road provides a direct route to Gloucester, Cheltenham, and the Cotswolds, whereas the westbound route heads towards the M4 at Newport. In addition, the M50 motorway begins in Ross-on-Wye, nine miles away, giving good access to the M5.

The Home at a Glance:

Kiruna is the ideal property for those seeking to create a bespoke home in a peaceful location within a welcoming and warm-hearted village community.

Stepping inside, natural light pours into the dual-aspect and sizeable south-facing oak-floored lounge; French doors lead outside to a covered veranda presenting a great entertaining space for those warm summer months, while Kiruna is an equally divine setting for cosy winter evenings, with its log-burning stove set within an ornate carved wooden fireplace.

The spacious family kitchen overlooks the private rear garden and can accommodate a dining table with chairs. It is fitted with light shaker-style units, integrated appliances and a freestanding Bosch dishwasher. A hardwood internal stable-door leads into the sunny utility room, with sink, fitted storage cupboards and provision for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The external door leads through to the private side and rear gardens.

The overall layout of the home is highly flexible and lends itself well to modernisation and personalisation. On the ground floor, there are two spacious rooms equipped with built-in storage which most recently served as double-bedrooms but could be used as additional reception rooms. The rear ground floor room overlooks and leads into the garden via uPVC patio doors. It also benefits from a good degree of soundproofing due to its secondary internal door, creating an opportune area for music or podcast recording (a former use).

The ground floor bathroom has a corner bath with electric shower overhead and there is an adjacent cloakroom ensuring full facilities available on both storeys.

Upstairs are two additional double bedrooms with Velux windows offering extensive views of the local countryside while allowing natural light to cascade in. The master bedroom boasts a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, built-in wardrobes, and an en-suite shower room with three-piece suite and electric shower. The second bedroom also features exposed timbers, is dual aspect with a front feature window and offers en-suite potential.

High mature hedging encloses the rear garden, creating an immensely private and quiet rural haven complete with rose garden, established raspberry canes and a stronghold for hedgehogs and other visiting wildlife. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with floral borders while the veranda next to the sitting room offers a perfect spot for an outdoor lounge or alfresco dining area. At the foot of the garden, a substantial Douglas Fir-clad building with opening roof window gives plenty of space to store gardening tools and equipment, and there is a substantial log store plus wood-shed to the side garden.

Kiruna offers ample parking including a broad paved driveway, integral garage and a hedged hardstanding area for a caravan or motorhome.

The property is attractively priced for those looking to add their own personal touch to this charming village home.
