Situation

White Railings Cottage was historically owned by The National Trust and is privately situated off a track over the surrounding Common Land. The property enjoys superb countryside views, and is in a truly beautiful rural, but not isolated, location, situated within the sought-after area of The Downs, an area which covers 114 Ha of Common Land and is also a haven for wildlife. The market town of Bromyard is nearby, with the Cathedral cities of Worcester & Hereford and the motorway network all being easily accessible.

White Railings Cottage

* White Railings Cottage is a charming, detached period cottage, offering scope for improvement. The property is perfectly habitable, but would benefit from some updating/redecoration internally.
* There is a fitted kitchen, with free-standing gas cooker (LPG), which leads through to a boot room that has direct access to the garden/patio area. The boot room is an extension to the property and offers scope, along with the kitchen, to create a super, open-plan kitchen/breakfast room with seating area to take in the fabulous views (subject to PP). The current kitchen would benefit from being updated.
* The cosy sitting room has a double aspect and a gas fire (LPG), but a wood-burner could be installed, subject to any appropriate, specialist advice/inspection.
* There is also a separate WC and a useful store room, which can be accessed internally or externally and also offers further development potential.
* Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, both with double aspect (truncated)

The Outside

* The property is approached off a tarmac lane, which runs across the Common, via a private farm-style track, that leads down to the property and the parking area.
* A picket gate leads into the front garden area, which has plenty of scope for keen gardeners. There is also a small pond and a variety of sheds, which provide useful storage.
* There are two patio areas, one to the front and one to the side of the property, which offer potential for improvement if desired.
* The paddock is situated to the rear of the property and can be accessed via a track down to the main gated entrance, or via a foot gate from the back garden. It is partially fenced with post and wire and also natural hedging.
* White Railings Cottage is privately and quietly situated in an elevated position, and enjoys fabulous, distant views over the surrounding countryside.
