" An exceptional five bedroom cottage in a delightful rural setting and having beautiful views. Presented to a high standard with farmhouse style kitchen, detached one bedroom bungalow with conservatory, parking area, garage/workshop, studio, sauna and approximately half an acre of grounds.

Situated in the beautiful unspoilt countryside of south-west Herefordshire, just a stone's throw from the Golden Valley and enjoying far reaching views, this detached cottage and separate detached bungalow, being one of just three cottages in this tiny hamlet and less than a mile from the larger Hamlet of Shenmore.  The charming village of Madley is one and a quarter miles away whilst the cathedral city of Hereford is approximately 8 miles away and the picturesque town of Hay-on-Wye being 14 miles away. In addition, the ancient market town of Abergavenny is approximately 23 miles to the south and Ross-on-Wye being 20 miles away with its access onto the M50.  Photograph shows side of property. 

Madley offers a wide range of facilities such as shops, Post Office, church, primary school, tennis and golf clubs and public houses.  Secondary schools are located in the neighbouring villages of Kingstone and Peterchurch.  

Presented to a particularly high standard and offered together with a separate detached bungalow which is situated within the generous mature grounds of around half an acre.  This may be ideal for multi-generational living or could provide an income as a holiday home or short term let.  

Originally a part-timber cottage, it has been sympathetically enlarged to include the addition of an oak framed extension.  The accommodation includes two reception rooms, superb farmhouse kitchen as well as five bedrooms (one of which having ensuite shower).  Within the grounds is an excellent range of outbuildings including garage/workshop, studio, sauna and garden sheds as well as an extensive parking area.  

The Withies is an exceptional property offering a wide range of facilities as well as a wealth of charm and character complemented by its mature garden and we would strongly recommend potential purchasers carry out a personal inspection in order to fully appreciate all that this remarkable property has to offer.
