    Location & Description
    Penny Cottage lies close to the heart of the favoured village of Peterstow, some 3 miles west of the market and tourist town of Ross on Wye. Originally constructed for the Guys Hospital estate in the 1800's, the property has an easterly façade towards the common which lies in the centre of Peterstow Village, and is a most attractive feature of the settlement. The cottage lies within a Conservation Area, and has just been beautifully refurbished by the current owner. One of the unique features is the ownership close by of a fine, part wooded rectangle of land which has to its northern extent a superb stone built bothy under a pantile roof. This plot extends to approaching to half an acre and as well as a mass of wildflowers, has apple, plum and pear trees and both raspberry and blackberry canes.

    Kitchen/Breakfast Room
    The refurbishment has been carried out in a most sensitive and appealing manner, and the cottage has many period features which have been enhanced by the transformation.
    There is a 26' kitchen/breakfast room, cloaks and w.c. And laundry/ utility room to the ground floor. Exquisite quartz work tops in the beautifully appointed Wren kitchen with a range of Bosch appliances.

    Living/Dining Room
    The cottage boasts a superb 27' living/dining room with fine Arada wood burning stove recessed within an arched brick fireplace surround. Part exposed brickwork and appealing original, small paned internal window. Two excellent Velux rooflights above the dining area, which allow the penetration of wonderful natural light.

    Main Bedroom & En-Suite
    To the first floor is the main bedroom with raised ceiling and exposed beam, and large window overlooking the Courtyard creating a light and airy room. Beyond is a beautifully appointed en-suite with vanity unit, walk in shower and w.c.

    Bedrooms & Bathroom
    There are two further well proportioned bedrooms, both with windows overlooking the garden to the Village Common beyond, together with a well appointed family bathroom and w.c.

    Utility Room
    Accessed from the Courtyard is the most useful utility/boot room and cloaks and w.c.

    Meadow & Bothy
    Leading out from the front garden, directly opposite the cottage, is the main large rectangular area of land being sold with the cottage. This gently sloping area of land borders directly onto Peterstow Common, the land being sold with Penny Cottage being bounded to all sides by ancient hedging, and having within it a series of trees and bushes, together with apple, pear and plum trees, and raspberry and blackberry canes. This area has also been planted with a wonderful mix of wild flowers as well as the already present daffodils.
    Positioned to the south western corner of the land is a fine stone bothy, and in our view this building is likely to be brought into full use by the new purchaser, making an ideal studio, home office/hobbies building/workshop.

    Outside
    The main area of garden lies to the east front of the property, the garden being surrounded by a recently planted Beech hedge with a central gravelled path leading to the front door. Areas of lawn lie to the left and right of the central path as do recently planted Ceanothus shrubs, with a Hydrangea towards the southern boundary.

    To the west side of the cottage is a small courtyard and wall, beyond which a bank slopes down to the minor country lane approaching the cottage.

    Overage Clause
    The previous owner of Penny Cottage was the Duchy of Cornwall Estate, the Duchy having bought the whole of the Herefordshire lands which in the 1700's was purchased by the Guys Hospital Estate. When the Duchy sold Penny Cottage to the current owner in 2022, the Estate placed a “Claw Back” or Overage Clause in the sale document. That clause effectively said that, should a future purchaser gain planning consent for residential development on the large, approx. 0.5 acre rectangle of land, highlighted in green on the above plan. Then, for the next 80 years, the Duchy would require payment of 50% of the enhanced value due to planning permission if this should be granted. The precise wording of this clause will be made available to the potential purchaser of Penny Cottage.

    The Village of Peterstow
    The village of Peterstow lies astride the A49 Ross to Hereford Road, some 3 miles west of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye.
    The village is sought after for a number of reasons. In the centre of the village is a large grassy Common, open to all, with a scattering of mature and younger deciduous trees. Many village activities take place during the course of the year on this Common and dog walkers will frequently stop and talk or sit on one of the benches and gaze out across the rolling Herefordshire countryside, Just a few paces away from the Common is the busy village shop, Post Office and Off Licence, whilst on the opposite side of the road is a bus stop with regular services to Ross, Hereford and Gloucester. There are two pubs, the Yew Tree and the Red Lion Inn, both locally owned, and much loved by the community. Ancient St Peters Church was transformed some 15 years ago to be both a church and multifunctional space, and is now used also as a village hall. A lovely friendly village which also has excellent access to the M50 motorway/A40 dual carriageway.
