Bankside
Symonds Yat West,
From the grounds of this detached, four-bedroom countryside cottage, there is a superb, panoramic view across the Wye Valley gorge - the famed image of the River Wye winding its way through the rocky landscape – as well as the surrounding hills and nearby village of Goodrich. The home boasts a sitting room with a woodburning stove and a dining kitchen with an Aga - both of which are staples of country life.
Location
The much sought-after village of Symonds Yat West is a spectacular setting situated in the heart of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is famed for its phenomenal river scenery, woodland expanses and limestone cliffs. There are a multitude of reputable riverside pubs and restaurants which are exceedingly popular with residents and tourists alike, plus plenty of delightful walking and cycle routes.
The closest village, Whitchurch, is particularly sought after, partially owing to its primary school, which has been graded as 'Outstanding' by Ofsted. There is also a popular village shop, a village hall, an MOT centre, several highly-commended eateries, a post box and a bus stop.
The home at a glance
Bankside is an idyllic and characterful cottage in the countryside which is surrounded by around three-quarters of an acre of land, perched on the hillside in Symonds Yat West. It offers the next custodian a quintessential pastoral lifestyle; the home itself is positioned at the top of a sloped driveway and the land has been landscaped to create several terraces. There is a verdant lawn to the front, a substantial pergola-covered patio barbecue area to the side, a secret woodland pathway around the grounds, and ample opportunity to grow fresh fruit and vegetables; tucked away behind the home, there is a long, brick-built raised bed and a greenhouse. In addition, there is plenty of space to keep chickens and a separate paddock which is ideal for sheep or goats and this has an orchard of cider apple, plum and cherry trees.
The main entrance - a stable door - leads into an entrance lobby with a reception hall beyond. To the left, there is a triple-aspect dining kitchen which has a tile floor, and wooden units and exhibits the magnificent Wye Valley gorge wonderfully well. The well-equipped kitchen features an oil-fired Aga - during the coldest months, the heat from this reputable cooker radiates constant warmth and there is an airing cupboard housed next to it. A door at the far end of the kitchen leads out to a rear yard, which gives an outdoor space to let dogs play in an enclosed space.
The sitting room, much like the kitchen, also showcases the spellbinding rural vista and includes a wood-burning stove within an exposed stone fireplace.
The ground floor of the property also includes two bedrooms, one of which is large enough to accommodate a double bed, as well as a bathroom with a three-piece white suite.
The first floor of the property was extended in 2020 and includes two capacious bedrooms, both of which are dual-aspect and include pitched ceilings, as well as dormer windows overlooking the Wye Valley and there is a recently-fitted shower room positioned in between.
Outside, there is a detached garage which is insulated and includes power as well as a water supply. This could be converted into an annexe or holiday let (subject to the necessary planning consents).
