A charming three or four bedroomed detached residence occupying a spectacular location at Monsal Head with panoramic views across the Wye valley and on the open market for the first time in over 40 years. The property has gardens to three sides with driveway parking for two vehicles, a large garage and further outbuildings.

Hobbs was once two cottages now combined and is currently run as a very successful tea room /gift shop. There is potential for further growth and increased income and is ideal as a live/work lifestyle opportunity. The superb accommodation is arranged over two floors extending to over 2240 Sq ft and offers potential as two separate properties, subject to planning, a large family home or a 5/6 bedroom holiday let.

A storm porch opens to the café area with solid wood flooring running throughout with two front facing windows overlooking Monsal Head and views towards Cressbrook. This spacious room features an original open fireplace and has been used as the focal point of the cafe.

A doorway leads to a cosy dining area with lovely front facing aspect and original open fireplace. The adjoining room features stone flagged flooring and has an alternative front door with views across the valley. This versatile space is well-suited to seating for the café and a gallery area.

The adjoining principal reception room benefits from parquet flooring and a pleasant rear aspect. Large windows provide excellent natural light to the room currently used for additional seating and gift shop.

The toilet/cloakroom facilities which serve the café are accessed from here and feature a low flush w/c and wash hand basin which could easily be changed to a downstairs shower room/bathroom.

Accessed from the principal reception area is a snug room with original brick backed fireplace and wood burning stove. This cosy room features a stable door leading to a front and side garden and used in conjunction with the adjacent downstairs toilet provides potential for a fourth bedroom or accommodation for a dependent relative.
