LOCATION & DESCRIPTION Laburnum Cottage lies on the east side of noted Linton Ridge and is within a few hundred yards of the village centre. Linton stands some 5 miles east of the market & tourist town of Ross-on-Wye, and has for a variety of reasons, long been considered a sought after village. Probably dating from the early 19 th century, Laburnum Cottage has been substantially extended in recent years, and now offers particularly generous ground floor accommodation, with four bedrooms and bath/shower rooms above. Internally, exposed stonework and timbering lend a great deal to the ambience of the property, and views from the north east facing windows are spectacular, extending through 180 degrees from Ridge Hill in the south to May Hill in the east. The rooms that have these views are also particularly light, and most principal ground floor rooms are of generous proportions. The main gardens lie to the south east of the cottage, extending rearwards from the garden room and sun terrace, whilst to the north west of the property is a generous tarmacadam parking/turning area. Village amenities include an historic Church with beautiful spire, a nearby village hall (being the centre for a wide range of village activities) and an excellent village pub, The Alma Inn. For those who require good access to fast communications, the M50 motorway may be accessed just over a mile away at Junction 3, and this in turn gives first class communication to most parts of the country.
