 [Desktop Resolution].JPG)
Hillside is a truly appealing cottage situated on the edge of Tintern village just moments away from the amenities but elevated and up a gated driveway you would not perhaps realise it was there. The gardens and grounds are extensive, we are told over 3.25acres with the land leading to an area of woodland with a babbling stream running through it; all adding up to a little paradise of country living.
The cottage itself is brimming with character and geared to life in the country. The current owners use the door to one side of the cottage as the main entrance which opens to a small Lobby with space for boot and coats with quarry tiled flooring it opens to the Kitchen /breakfast room and also the useful ground floor cloakroom/ shower room. The Kitchen is well fitted with cottage style, Canadian pine units which include some glazed and leaded display cabinets. The Rayburn oil-fired cooking range is installed into the old chimney breast (essential on a country cottage wish list). There are custom built, pan shelving units to each side of the range. In fact all of the features add up to a very cosy and welcoming room. A large serving hatch opens to the Dining Room next door but there is plenty of room for a table and chairs within the kitchen itself. The Dining Room alongside has exposed stone work and beams and although not a massive room does offer sufficient space for entertaining guests in a more formal fashion than in the kitchen itself. Interconnecting with the Dining Room is the Living Room which has a full height stone inglenook fireplace topped with a wooden beam and fitted with a solid fuel multi-burner stove on a slightly elevated hearth. The hearth is topped with flagstones and continues around the corner to make a rustic seating area – piled high with cushions it would be a super place to sit close to the fire on a cold winters evening . There are also custom built bookshelves fitted into the recess. The front Hallway leads off this room and is now used as a study area with space for a desk and further storage areas discreetly hidden behind a curtain rail. An arch leads from the Living Room to the Sitting Room. With large French-doors to the garden and a window to the front in a small area that the current owners call ‘the bar’, this is a very pleasant room. It is further enhanced by another large inglenook fireplace with raised hearth with wooden beam mantle and fitted with a wood burning stove. To the side are more fitted bookshelves. The original wooden floors now polished all add to the character. Upstairs are four good bedrooms: three good doubles and one large single. The master bedroom having rather a smart bank of custom built wardrobes and matching chest of drawers in soft pine. Further storage areas in the gabled eaves are accessed through half-height doors in the two front bedrooms. The Bathroom is styled appropriately for the cottage with a panelled bath with overhead electric shower unit. Period style fittings and painted half panelled walls are stylish and in keeping. There are large fitted cupboards giving plenty of storage. The cottage is approached through a gate and up a reasonably steep driveway. The main gardens and grounds are informally planted with trees and shrubs. The lawned areas are terraced and offer views down the valley and village below. There is a stone terrace which would be a great place for barbeques and taking a little sun. Behind the house, the grounds lead up to an area of orchard and paddock before opening out on both sides to a woodland area with a stream and footpath running through the middle. There is planning permission in place for a detached garage to the side and rear of the house (nearest to the driveway) where there is also parking for three to four cars. The large stone built store/workshop and would be ideal for home office suite is situated on the far side of the house, at the end of the garden. The property benefits from mains sewerage, but has its own, spring-fed water supply. The owners are aware that the drive needs attention and of the cost to build a garage and surrounding walls. They have taken the view that these requirements are reflected in the current asking price. NB there is a public footpath (No. 79) which runs up the drive and on, eventually to Penterry Church, via couple of cottages further into the woods. However vehicular access for these cottages is from the bottom road and on around the valley. In these parts footpaths criss-cross the countryside and are rarely abused and well accepted by the residents who live locally. IN SUMMARY This is a genuine country cottage with character in a village that has a tremendous amount to offer. The interior of the cottage is delightful and ticks a lot of boxes for character and charm with pretty rooms and working fireplaces. The country style kitchen is what most ladies want in a cottage particularly with the feature of the Rayburn oil fired cooking range. The scenery locally is just fabulous and this village so beautiful and renowned it is a tourist hotspot. This has the added benefit of giving the residents amenities of coffee and gift shops on their doorstep. For nature lovers, woodland and riverside walks abound in the area. The extra land and the views all add up to a cottage that should be must be viewed. ACCOMMODATION Solid wood door to LOBBY 7'1 X 6'7 Central lighting. Meters.
