Ridgehill, Hereford £675,000

Occupying a glorious rural location, with truly spectacular views, a 3 bedroom detached cottage, with excellent scope for extension/improvement and with an extensive range of outbuildings, gardens and grounds extending to just over 4 acres.

Property Description
Oakleigh is an attractive detached cottage occupying a lovely, elevated rural location with amazing views and yet under 3 miles from the City Centre of Hereford.

The spread out parish of Ridgehill encompasses a variety of different styes of properties and is well placed for amenities on Holme Lacey Road, such as shops, a filling station and public house, also well placed for access to the Rotherwas Industrial Estate and within Much Birch (3 miles) there is a primary school, doctors' surgery and church.

The original cottage has been updated and extended, and has oil-fired central heating and double-glazing, but offers excellent scope for further extension, updating or even the potential for the construction of a replacement dwelling (subject to planning consent). There are well established gardens and enclosed paddocks which extend to just over 4 acres and there are numerous outbuildings.

'A little piece of heaven' and has been offered to sell for the first time since the 1970s and the truly spectacular views really do have to be seen to be appreciated.
