3 bedroom detached house for sale

Colehurst

Views of uninterrupted countryside stretch in every direction from this charming detached 1930's country home, where rolling farmland meets vast open skies. Enjoying complete privacy with no immediate neighbours, this three-bedroom residence offers a rare opportunity for its next custodian to modernise and personalise a wonderfully proportioned home, tailoring it to their own vision.

Location:
The sleepy village of Sellack is set in a totally tranquil corner of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is a myriad of beautiful walks that lead through the delightful countryside and around the River Wye, while the esteemed gastro pub, The Loughpool Inn, affords an enticing destination point. Sellack also has a village hall and a very striking church, St Tysilio's, which is set within the meadows.

There are two other reputable country pubs within walking distance of the property; The Red Lion and The Yew Tree – both set within the neighbouring village of Peterstow which also affords a village shop. In terms of education, there are two reputable primary schools nearby: Kings Caple Primary Academy and Bridstow Church of England Primary School, both of which have been very favourably assessed by Ofsted in recent years. For secondary education, the nearby market town of Ross-on-Wye (approximately four miles away) offers John Kyrle High School, but further private schooling options are found in the nearby towns of Hereford and Monmouth.
Ross-on-Wye also gives a wealth of other amenities, including various supermarkets, an assortment of restaurants, pubs, independently owned shops, nationally renowned retailers and leisure facilities. The cathedral city of Hereford (roughly 10 miles away) gives an even broader range of shops, supermarkets, leisure facilities, bars and restaurants. While the property is encircled by unspoiled countryside, it also benefits from being within good reach of excellent transport links; the A49 is only two miles away, while the A40 and M50, both accessible from Ross-on-Wye, take around five minutes to drive to.

The Home at a Glance:
Tucked just off a quiet single-track country lane, a driveway approaches the property, immediately setting a tone of seclusion and tranquillity. The main entrance is sheltered beneath a brick-built open porch, with the front door opening into a generously sized reception hall. High ceilings enhance the sense of space, while elegant picture rails-featured throughout much of the home-reflect the home's period charm.
To the left of the hallway lie two inviting reception rooms. The first door opens into a sitting room centred around an open fire, framed by a tiled surround and carved wood-effect fireplace. Natural light streams through a window that captures delightful views over the garden and rolling countryside beyond.

The second reception room features a charming bay window with a built-in window seat-an idyllic spot to soak in the far-reaching landscape. A stone fireplace, now unused, adds further character. Opposite the reception rooms is the kitchen, which overlooks the mature trees and hedging that frame the property. Fitted with pine base and wall-mounted units, including glass-fronted cupboards, the space also benefits from a generous pantry cupboard. Appliances include a Hotpoint double oven with ceramic hob and concealed extractor hood. Beyond the kitchen is a practical utility room housing the Firebird combi-boiler, an additional sink, and plumbing for a washing machine. Two Velux windows flood the room with natural light, and a door leads through to a useful boot room-providing a secondary entrance, ideal for removing muddy boots and coats after countryside walks.

A staircase rises from the reception hall, complete with a spacious under stairs cupboard. A large picture window midway up the stairs fills both levels with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere.
The first-floor landing provides access to three well-proportioned double bedrooms and the bathing facilities. Two of the bedrooms sit above the reception rooms and enjoy elevated, far-reaching views across the garden and surrounding farmland, extending towards the picturesque market town of Ross-on-Wye and the peaks of Chase Woods, Panyard Hill, Coppett Hill and May Hill beyond.
The third bedroom, positioned on the opposite side of the home and accessed through an archway, overlooks the verdant greenery bordering the grounds. The washing facilities are arranged across two rooms: one comprises a bath with overhead shower and pedestal basin, while the other houses the WC-offering scope for reconfiguration, should modernisation be desired.

Outside
The grounds extend to over half an acre and are predominantly laid to lawn, enclosed by dense, mature hedging that ensures a high degree of privacy. A rich variety of established trees and shrubs provides seasonal colour and creates a haven for local wildlife, with tranquil birdsong offering an uplifting soundtrack to the surroundings.

Outbuildings include a garage and a former workshop, offering practical storage for gardening equipment, or existing structures for the creation of something else on the same site.
