A glorious panorama of rolling wooded hillsides is superbly showcased from this three-bedroom country cottage.

Within the grounds, there is a self-contained chalet, offering an ideal recreation space or opportunity for holiday rental.
Location
The spectacular setting of Symonds Yat is famed for its phenomenal river scenery, woodland expanses and limestone cliffs. There are a multitude of reputable riverside pubs and restaurants which are exceedingly popular with local residents and tourists alike.
There are many delightful walking and cycle routes throughout the area and, for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, various companies offer a wide range of activities such as canoe hire.
The closest village, Whitchurch, is particularly sought after, partially owing to its Church of England Primary School which has been graded as 'Outstanding' by Ofsted. The popular community-spirited village shop, Woods of Whitchurch, stocks locally-made produce, fresh fruit and vegetables, and various essentials. The establishment also operates as a coffee shop and takeaway.
In addition, Whitchurch also boasts a village hall, a reputable MOT centre, various eateries, plus a post box and bus stop.
Symonds Yat is just two miles from the Welsh border and centred between the two popular market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, both of which offer highly-regarded secondary schools, supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, leisure facilities and independently-owned shops.
The property is within easy access of major road networks; the A40 is around a mile away and the eastbound road provides a direct route to Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds. Meanwhile, motorists heading in the opposite direction can journey towards the M4 at Newport, giving access to Cardiff and London. In addition, the M50 motorway begins in Ross-on-Wye, around eight miles away, and this gives good access to the M5 - leading to Birmingham to the north and Bristol to the south.
Seller's Insight
The sun rising over Coppet Hill floods the cottage and its hillside with an early morning glow. Year-round, it boasts a stunning view over the Wye Gorge and surrounding countryside towards the Forest of Dean, but this is ever-evolving with the changing seasons; the blooming spring brings nature alive with a fresh birth of colour and a dawn chorus of bird song fills the air. Come autumn, the changing leaves across the valley create a show-stopping kaleidoscope of colour and, during the early mornings, a haze of mist settles in the valley below, with the treetops poking though through like little bonsais.
Because of the tranquillity of the plot, all manner of wildlife frequent the garden, including newborn wild deer and after dusks, we often hear the owls hooting.
"A view with a cottage"
A spellbinding vista of the Wye Valley sets a spellbinding first impression, as this is the first sight to catch the eye upon arriving at the home and its private plot.
The main entrance leads into an attractive reception hall, which boasts a decorative floor. On the right-hand side, there is a handsome dining kitchen, which carries a timbered ceiling, a Rayburn cooker, a Belfast sink, a plate rack and base-level wooden units, all of which exhibit the rustic character of the home. On the opposing side of the reception hall, there is a light-streamed sitting room, which carries a log-burning stove - a staple of country life - as well as a picture window which frames the boundless view.
The staircase in the reception hall leads to a galleried landing, which is large enough to present a space for a home office or reading nook. This level of the home includes a family bathroom - complete with a three-piece white suite - and three bedrooms, the largest of which includes a cast iron feature fireplace as well as a picture window and offers a comfortable space to enjoy the sunrise.
