Sandiway House

This deceptively spacious stone cottage is set within grounds of approximately half an acre within the heart of the Wye Valley AONB. The three-bedroom country home boasts many charming features such as exposed stone walls, an inglenook fireplace and timbered ceilings. There are also several outbuildings, the largest of which is a two-storey stone barn.

Location
The Doward Hills and Symonds Yat are famed for their spectacular scenery, woodland expanses, limestone cliffs and views over the River Wye. There are a multitude of welcoming riverside pubs and restaurants which are exceedingly popular with residents and tourists alike.
Many delightful walking and cycle routes lead throughout the area and, for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, various companies offer a wide range of activities such as canoe hire, rock climbing and caving.
The closest village, Whitchurch, is particularly sought after, partially owing to its Church of England Primary School which is graded as 'Outstanding' by Ofsted. The popular community-spirited village shop, Woods of Whitchurch also operates as a coffee shop and takeaway. In addition, Whitchurch boasts a village hall, a reputable MOT centre, a highly commended hospitality venue - The Old Court Hotel - plus a post box and bus stop.
Symonds Yat is just two miles from the Welsh border and centred between the popular market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, both of which offer highly regarded secondary schools, supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, leisure facilities and independently owned shops.
A series of major road networks are also easily accessible; the A40 is around a mile away and the eastbound road provides a direct route to Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds. Meanwhile, motorists heading in the opposite direction can journey towards the M4 at Newport, giving access to Cardiff and London. In addition, the M50 motorway begins in Ross-on-Wye, around eight miles away, which gives good access to the M5.

The home at a glance
Sandiway House offers an ideal opportunity for multi-generational living. It carries a delightfully quirky layout and, while it is presently configured as a detached three-bedroom cottage with three reception rooms, there is an unusual opportunity to divide the property into two sections.
The front door is sheltered beneath a bespoke canopied oak porch and leads directly into an expansive sitting room; a space that sets a handsome scene as it includes an inglenook fireplace with a log-burning stove, exposed timber frames and a beamed ceiling. This leads through into a generously sized utility room, which has a Belfast sink and plumbing for a washing machine. This gives access to another reception room, a shower room and a boot room.
A staircase in the sitting room leads up to a landing, which gives access to two double bedrooms, both of which bear high ceilings.
The opposite side of the landing leads a shower room with a walk-in dual-headed shower, a WC, a pedestal wash basin and a heated towel tail. It is also worth noting that a cupboard within the room conceals the water tank.
Beyond here, there is a handsome open-plan dining kitchen which carries exposed stone, wooden panelling and beams. Plenty of natural light cascades into the space through a set of French doors within the dining zone. In terms of practicality, the kitchen includes solid wooden worktops and units which include glazed display doors. There is also a Stanley range cooker, a conventional Hotpoint double oven, a Fagor ceramic hob, and a sink with a mixer tap. An opening leads through into a capacious, bright and airy sunroom, which includes a partially vaulted ceiling and a set of bi-fold doors which lead out to the garden.
This level of the home also includes another room with a vaulted ceiling, which includes a mezzanine floor and may therefore serve as an impressive bedroom. A series of skylights and windows let sunlight pour into the room and overlook the rear garden.
There is a door from the bedroom that opens into a small porch, which gives external access.
The garden gradually extends uphill and is predominantly laid to lawn, but there is a terraced area near the home, and a variety of mature trees throughout the grounds. There are several outbuildings but the largest is a two-storey stone-built barn, which would be sizeable enough for conversion into an annexe or holiday let (STP). The ground floor includes a classically beautiful cobblestone floor, plus lighting and power.
