Location
Llangrove, an idyllic south Herefordshire village, offers plenty of local amenities, including a Church of England primary school, which carries an 'Outstanding' rating from SIAMS and a 'Good' grade from Ofsted. There is also a popular village hall which hosts many different activities. The Royal Arms at the top of Llangrove is a 17th-century pub and this regularly earns rave reviews online for good food, excellent beer and a welcoming atmosphere. The Great Trewen Milk Shed, situated next to the village hall, near the play park, is also worth a special mention. This self-service vending machine provides fresh, gently pasteurised whole milk along with a small range of groceries such as fresh eggs, cakes, butter and cheese.
Even more amenities, including another excellent primary school, a well-stocked village shop and a reputable MOT centre, can be found in the neighbouring village of Whitchurch two miles away.
Llangrove sits equidistance between the historic market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, which fringe the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The spectacular setting of Symonds Yat, which is one of the most well-known landscapes within the AONB, is a short drive (around ten minutes) from Llangrove. This location is famed for its phenomenal river scenery, woodland expanses and limestone cliffs. There are several riverside pubs and restaurants which are exceedingly popular with residents and tourists alike - and a wide range of outdoor pursuits; walking, cycling, canoeing and wild swimming, are easily accessible.
Llangrove also boasts excellent transport links. Two miles away, motorists can join the A40; the eastbound road provides a direct route to Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds whereas the westbound route heads towards the M4 at Newport, giving access to Cardiff and London. In addition, the M50 motorway begins in Ross-on-Wye nine miles away, giving good access to the M5 - leading to Birmingham to the north and Bristol to the south.
More comprehensive facilities can be found in the surrounding cathedral cities of Hereford, Worcester and Gloucester and the Regency Spa town of Cheltenham.
The home at a glance
Ty Garron is set off a country lane, opposite the village hall. The front door - which is sheltered beneath an open porch - leads into an attractive reception hall, which boasts an oak floor, and this is complimented by solid oak internal doors throughout the property.
On the right-hand side, there are three doors, one of which opens into a cloakroom, the second into a utility cupboard - which has space and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer - and the third gives access to storage under the staircase.
An expansive and open live-in kitchen sits on the left-hand side of the reception hall and this dual-aspect space is fitted with quartz worktops, plus a range of integrated appliances including a dishwasher, fridge/freezer and double oven. The central island includes a wealth of food preparation space as well as a Neff hob with an extractor fan. There is also ample room for a dining table with chairs.
A sitting room is found at the far end of the reception hall and plenty of natural light cascades into this triple-aspect area. A set of French doors lead out to the attractive wrap-around garden which includes a level lawn, a patio seating area, raised bed kitchen gardens and sheds to store gardening tools.
A staircase in the reception hall leads to a light-streamed galleried landing. The three bedrooms all carry pitched ceilings and elevated views over the village and countryside beyond. It is worth noting that the largest bedroom also includes an en-suite shower room which is fully tiled and features a walk-in shower, WC, basin and heated towel rail.
The family bathroom is also on this level of the property and this includes a bath with shower attachment, a WC, a basin and a heated towel rail. Next door, there is a cupboard lined with plenty of shelving space, giving an ideal spot to store towels and bedding.
