A countryside home with solar panels is on the market for £650,000.

Cooley Lodge is situated just over a mile west of Ross-on-Wye, near the village of Bridstow.

The house is said to have a "wonderful rural outlook" over the adjacent farmland by agents John Goodwin.

The property is also within a 20-minute drive of Monmouth, Ledbury, and Hereford, with Cheltenham, Birmingham, Newport, Cardiff, and Bristol all easily accessible via the M50 motorway/A40 dual carriageway network.

The detached country home is described as being "filled with immense character" and is made of stone construction with rendered elevations under a primarily slate roof.

There are also period features throughout the house.

The home has a 31-foot garden room and study, which has French doors opening directly into the gardens.

The lodge comes with 12 PV panels and a 9.6kWh battery, giving the potential buyer the benefits of a modern dwelling.

The gardens primarily lie to the west, north, and east of the house and include lawns, borders, an orchard, and a pond.

A greenhouse and a productive vegetable garden are also part of the outdoor space.

The expansive gravel driveway leads to a 19-foot garage and storeroom.

A stone, former piggery, is also part of the property and is ideal as a potting shed or den.

The entrance hall has a window to the front elevation and a Velux window, with a door leading through to a utility room fitted with a range of cream Shaker-style floor-mounted units with a worktop and inset Belfast sink.

The farmhouse-style kitchen is fitted with a range of oak units with an inset Belfast sink and granite worktop.

The drawing room features a part flagstone floor, ceiling and wall timbers, and a stone fireplace with an inset wood-burning stove.
