BELIEVED to have been built in the Victorian period, imposing Albert House at Monnington-on-Wye lies in splendid countryside not far from the river, while being just a seven-mile hop from Hereford.

This substantial house built in solid brick boasts five bedrooms and three to four reception rooms and has oodles of character. It is surrounded by more than half an acre of lovely, landscaped gardens, and not too far distant flows the Wye, and the well-known set of rapids known as Monnington Falls. Nearby runs the beautiful Wye Valley walk.

The impressively spacious living room has a large, open fireplace, and its elegant bay window offers sweeping views of the garden. The 'L' shaped kitchen/dining room provides plenty of space and a large range of base, drawer and eye-level units, and there's also a walk-in pantry/utility room. Also on the ground floor is a sitting room, study, cloakroom with wash basin and loo and an entrance hall with doors to all rooms.

Albert House's five bedrooms are on the first floor, as well as its two bathrooms, and the estate agents point out that accommodation on this floor could easily be adapted to provide en-suite facilities. In the first bedroom there are doors to a small veranda area, and the landing area houses an airing cupboard and doors to each bedroom.

To the rear of the property is a small room housing the central heating boiler and there are two store rooms, an open store and a double garage complete with electric doors, power and lighting and a pedestrian door to the rear..The gardens are a wonderful part of Albert House's overall appeal and include a large lawned area with flower beds, many mature trees and shrubs and a large patio.
