In the charming hamlet of Kinnersley in Herefordshire, this property provides a rural idyll away from the hectic pace of everyday life. Surrounded by luscious landscapes, families can immerse themselves in the tranquillity, whilst the majestic Black Mountains create a picturesque backdrop that can be seen from many of the rooms. Despite its feeling of remoteness, the nearest pub and shop are only a few hundred metres away, as is the main road which meanders between the local towns and villages.
With its wood-clad exterior, this cottage is reminiscent of a Swiss chalet, but inside you’ll be whisked away to a world far richer and luxurious than you could imagine. An eclectic mix of antique furniture helps to create the impression of a time gone by, but contemporary touches bring you back to the 21st century. The lounge has sumptuous fabrics and soft furnishings to help you relax comfortably in front of the wood burner of an evening. In the kitchen, handcrafted cabinets line the walls and a mix of traditional and modern fixtures complement each other beautifully. Upstairs, the juxtaposition of old and new continues in the stylish bedrooms and bathrooms. Outside, the landscaped garden and patio are the perfect place for al fresco dining.
The rural setting offers a vast array of footpaths and bridleways to explore on foot or by bike. There are also some delightful market towns within easy reach such as: the ‘town of books’ Hay-on-Wye (10 miles), which is at the north-eastern tip of the Brecon Beacons National Park; Leominster and it’s treasure-filled antiques shops (13 miles); and Hereford (14.5 miles). If you prefer a slow stroll followed by a cuppa and a slice of cake, head to the National Trust’s The Weir Gardens on the banks of the River Wye (10 miles).
