House For Sale £565,000
Location & description
Kostald lies on the southern outskirts of the well served village of Longhope, some 7 miles south east of the market and tourist town of Ross on Wye, and approx. 10 miles west of the Cathedral City of Gloucester. There are motorway connections at both of these towns, whilst Cheltenham, Monmouth, Lydney and Chepstow are all within approx. 40 minutes drive.
On a drive-by and initial approach to the property, one gains absolutely no clue as to the beauty of the extensive gardens and stunning westerly outlook from all rear windows of the property. These views extend across the village outskirts and farmland towards tree covered hillsides in the distance. Moreover, the aspect means that the full width rear sun terrace is bathed in available sunshine from the middle of the day onwards.
All principal rooms are of generous proportions, and French doors from the kitchen/dining room open out directly onto the aforementioned sun terrace. There is a particularly spacious master bedroom which also has the joy of opening directly onto the part covered roof terrace, from where, once again, one enjoys the tremendous rear outlook.
Towards the western boundary is the main section of the lawned rear garden, whilst extending southwards from same is a further extensive rectangle of garden, complete with charming stone built bothy and a magnificent mature Oak tree.
