Location:

The village of Goodrich sits within the centre of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It offers two excellent country pubs - The Hostelrie and The Cross Keys, both of which consistently garner rave reviews for their welcoming atmosphere and delicious food. In addition, Goodrich boasts a fantastic village hall that frequently hosts various events and operates as a pop-up cinema. There is also a centrally located church, a tennis club, a cricket club, and a tearoom. There is an extremely well-regarded primary school in the village, but arguably, Goodrich is most well-known for its commanding 11th-century hilltop castle, which is a stone's throw from the property.
Goodrich also sits around five miles in either direction between the popular market towns of Monmouth and Ross-on-Wye, both of which feature good comprehensive schools, independent shops, cafes, and reputable restaurants. It is worth noting that Monmouth offers the prestigious Haberdashers' private schools.
A range of excellent road networks is nearby. The A40 is a short distance 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 can be joined at Ross-on-Wye, and this gives good access to the M5.

The Home at a Glance
This bungalow is tucked away from Castle Lane behind a set of double gates and is set centrally within its plot. The attractive front garden sets a charming scene, and a slope leads to the main entrance, which leads into a spacious reception hall. An engineered oak floor flows through into the largest of the three reception rooms, a dual-aspect sitting room which boasts a pellet-burning stove on a slate hearth. From here, a set of sliding doors leads into the garden room. Plenty of light cascades into this triple-aspect space, which has its substantial size accentuated by a vaulted ceiling.
The user-friendly kitchen is also light and airy. It features timelessly elegant shaker-style units, a fitted dresser, plenty of pull-out storage, a 1+1/2 sink, a Neff double oven, a Neff ceramic hob, and an extractor hood. An island includes additional storage space and a breakfast bar, giving a relaxed eating space. From here, an archway links it with the formal dining room.
A door in the corner of the kitchen leads into the substantial utility room, which has an additional sink with waste disposal, provision for a washer/dryer, and space for freestanding appliances.
The third reception room, the dining room, can be accessed through a door in the reception hall, and an open archway within the kitchen.
Of the bedrooms, all four are large enough to accommodate double beds, although one is presently used as a study. The remaining three all include built-in wardrobes, but it is worth noting that the master also bears an en-suite shower room. In terms of washing facilities, there is a family bathroom with a three-piece suite.
Outside, the grounds are fully enclosed. The rear garden captures the natural light throughout most of the day, and a sun terrace is positioned next to the garden room. In this area of the garden, there is a bespoke hexagonal barbeque cabin, which ensures that occupants can safely host, relax, and entertain with family barbecues and outdoor cooking parties all year round, no matter the weather.
For parking, there is a generously sized gated driveway in addition to the detached double garage, as well as provision for EV charging.
