An idyllic location
The sleepy setting of Hole-in-the-Wall is formed along a tranquil meander of the River Wye, making it an ideal area for hiking and various outdoor pursuits.
A nearby Victorian suspension footbridge connects Hole in the Wall to the small hamlet of Foy which also offers spellbinding scenery and an ideal landscape to enjoy this secluded section of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
A mile from Foy, there is a particularly peaceful beauty spot - Backney Bridge which was once part of the old railway line that ran north-west out of Ross. The neighbouring Backney Common, a patch of pasture, also leads to a delightful setting; a large shingle and sand riverside beach.
Ross-on-Wye lies around four miles to the south. This welcoming market town is famed for being the birthplace of British tourism due to its spectacular skyline; the town is perched on red sandstone cliffs which overlook the River Wye.
Ross-on-Wye's high street features an array of shops, supermarkets, independently owned boutiques, a range of restaurants, welcoming pubs and various leisure facilities. There are also four primary schools and one high school in the town, plus two gp surgeries and a community hospital.
The larger towns of Hereford, Monmouth and Ledbury are all within an approximate 30-minute drive and these all offer further local amenities.

The home at a glance
This cottage has excellent potential and would make an excellent project for a new owner to truly make the property their own.
Abrahall Cottage is set off a quiet country lane. The home itself could benefit from a degree of refurbishment but the bare bones are lovely; there are several charming character features - there are exposed beams throughout the property and an inset fireplace in the sitting room which houses a wood-burning stove.
The ground floor features an open-plan living arrangement and a shower room with a three-piece suite. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms two of which are dual aspect and therefore exhibit excellent elevated views over the sublime surrounding scenery.
