Messuage Cottage, The Goggin, Richards Castle, Herefordshire.

Agent: Strutt and Parker Offers: £350,000 Call: 01584 873711 NESTLED in the wonderful Herefordshire countryside, Messuage Cottage has been home to the current owner for the past 25 years and was originally a two-up, two-down cottage with no services connected.

Since that time it has been completely renovated and extended to now offer attractive and spacious accommodation arranged over two floors. Most rooms are extremely light and offer spectacular views with all the windows downstairs benefiting from the added security of shutters.

The sitting room is well proportioned with an attractive stone fireplace housing a wood burning stove and an original bread oven.

From this room both the store and the conservatory are accessed.

The kitchen offers a range of units with an integrated electric oven and hob.

The dining room has a wooden floor and large oak window. This room also features a false fireplace with oak surround and bespoke oak cupboards and shelving to either side.

To the first floor, all the four bedrooms are a good size and benefit from useful storage and fine views. The master bedroom has an ensuite shower room and there is also a family bathroom.

The property is approached off a lane through wooden gates and up a gravelled driveway leading to a parking and turning area. There is a large outbuilding which is currently used as a garage/storage facility but could be adapted subject to the relevant consents. The gardens lie mainly to the front of the property and consist of a manicured lawn area with well planted borders and a small stream running to the side.

There is gated access from the driveway and also separately from the lane to a small paddock with an outbuilding suitable for storage or indeed stabling.
