Guide Price 595,000 Situation and Description St Donats Cottage is one of a cluster of individual properties that form the small hamlet of Ruckhall, which itself is on the edge of the larger village of Eaton Bishop. The village has an Anglican church and village hall with more extensive facilities, including a primary school, shop and public house, at the neighbouring village of Madley. The cottage is also within easy reach of the cathedral city of Hereford (4 miles), which provides extensive facilities and road and rail links to other parts of the country. This gorgeous cottage is beautifully presented and benefits from a number of recent improvements, which include an extended light and spacious kitchen/family room. Initially approached from a country lane by a long sweeping driveway, an oak front door leads into an entrance hall with a slate tiled floor and door to cloakroom. There is a spacious living room with a large fireplace and Charnwood wood burner. The room has plenty of character, with exposed ceiling timbers, and double doors leading through to a large kitchen/ family room, which forms the main hub of the cottage. At one end there are double glazed windows which have panoramic southerly views over the surrounding countryside and enjoying a lovely outlook over the gardens. There are doors that lead out to a patio and a mixture of oak effect laminate and slate tiled flooring. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with a Belling range style cooker with an electric induction hob, double oven and grill, a range of bespoke wooden units offering plenty of storage, central work station and door through to a side entrance hall/boot room and utility area, which also has a slate tiled floor, a range of useful cupboards and storage. There is also a very useful ground floor bedroom or children s play room with adjoining wet room.

To the front of St Donats Cottage is a very useful double garage, with the gardens forming a particular feature, which are in the main to the front and rear of the property and laid predominately to lawn, extending to just under one acre.
