House For Sale £750,000
Glewstone Boat is on the market for the first time in nearly 100 years, a quaint cottage situated on the banks of the River Wye by what has been described as having the best Salmon fishing on the River!
Steeped in history, Glewstone Boat is an original ferry cottage that was one of the stops for barges that travelled upstream with goods, produce and people when water was a main travel option. The property has been home for the same family for nearly 100 years, where keen fisherman from across the world have been entertained, and where the famous Wizard of the Wye, Robert Pashley, fished.
Located on the one time A40, the property has some of the most amazing river frontage along the River Wye.
The cottage itself boasts spacious accommodation across two floors. On the ground floor there are two reception rooms, an open plan kitchen/breakfast room, a pantry and a downstairs WC. There is access via a back door into a car port.
Upstairs there are three double bedrooms with the third bedroom accessed via bedroom two & all bedrooms come with views over the garden and river. There is a re-fitted family bathroom.
There are window seats on the ground and first floor that allow you to enjoy the view from each window.
The current owners are seeking planning permission to extend the property from a three bedroom cottage into a five bedroom cottage. Plans and details of the planning application will be made available as soon as we have details.
The property is approached by a long driveway that is accessed directly from the A40 where it sweeps towards the cottage. Through gates there is parking and access to a single garage.
Many upgrades have been made to the cottage with excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. Other benefits include oil fired central heating and is offered with no onward chain.
