SELLER INSIGHT
We felt immediately at home in Hawthorn Cottage and have so many happy memories of spending time with friends and family there,” say the current owners. It is a spacious, light and modern house, easy to live in and maintain, but we still find that cosy, homely feeling we are looking for.”
Since moving in, the owners have made various improvements to the property. “We have updated the house by completely redecorating, refitting all 4 en-suite bathrooms, the downstairs cloakroom, the utility room, and part of the kitchen,” they say. “Outside, the garden is simple and easy to maintain, providing a choice of terraces and lawns. We can always find sun or shade, a breeze or shelter, to suit the weather.”
“All in all, Hawthorn Cottage has been a very happy home for us,” the owners continue. “We will miss sitting in front of the log burner on cold dark nights; the welcome and practicality of the Aga after a wet winter walk; and especially sun-filled days relaxing in the sunroom or indulging in a glass of wine on the terrace in the evening.”
The setting of the property has much to recommend it, too. “We have marvellous, unspoilt views over rolling Herefordshire countryside towards the Welsh mountains, with spectacular sunsets,” say the owners.
“The tranquillity and wildlife in this area are precious to us, and so it is surprising that we can also find all amenities within a few minutes’ drive, and attractive local market towns within 10-15 minutes.”*
