The nearby historic market town of Hay-on-Wye, a gem nestled on the banks of the river, hosts the annual and renowned International Literary Festival.

The Fuggles


This super property, thought to date from c. 1600's, has been well maintained and cared for by the current owners. The name derives from type of hop used for brewing beer, for which Herefordshire is well-known.
A country-style kitchen has been fitted with hand-painted units and solid wood work surfaces, with an Esse range cooker being the focal point. A stable door leads to the garden and there is open-plan access to the dining room, which has double French doors leading to the patio terrace and garden.
A comfortable sitting room has a feature working fireplace, inset with new Esse wood burning stove, on a raised hearth with stone and brick detailed wall. There is also a recently refurbished downstairs WC.
There are three bedrooms to first floor, two of which are good-sized doubles, the Master with an en-suite shower room. There is a third, single room plus a family bathroom.
The windows and French doors were replaced about 10 year's ago with treated softwood double-glazed units (except in the family bathroom) and have been regularly maintained since.

The Outside


The property is approached via a shared, private drive which leads to ample parking in front of the property, which is in an elevated position and well above water levels.
A level, mature garden lies to the rear of the property and is planted with shrubs and trees, with a lawn and patio terrace, perfect for seasonal enjoyment. The garden has been organically managed for over 20 years.
To the rear of the gated garden is a public path, beyond the property boundary, giving access to the church, Millennium Green and village facilities.
A spur off the shared drive leads to a separate garage block and yard area, where each property has an allocated single garage with electricity supply and pedestrian access to the rear of the properties.
