SITUATION

Pear Tree Cottage is situated down a country lane in the attractive village of Upper Lyde within easy access of Hereford which is just 2 miles to the south. Lyde has a beautiful 13th century church and is positioned between the villages of Moreton on Lugg and Burghill. Nearby primary schools are located in Burghill and Hereford. The cottage has uninterrupted views over the local countryside to the southwest providing privacy throughout the gardens.
The immediate area enjoys equestrian facilities including livery with indoor and outdoor ménage just a short walk from the cottage. There is also a local footpath which can be used to walk into Holmer and the city of Hereford beyond. The beautiful scenery and abundance of wildlife positions this cottage in a most desirable location for families and retired couples alike.

THE PROPERTY

Pear Tree Cottage is a beautiful detached brick built property that has been extended to provide a perfect family home. The garage is currently converted to provide a studio space and has had planning permission to convert to an annex and connect to the main property. Although this has now lapsed, it is thought that it would be straightforward to reapply. The house is bright and spacious with two reception rooms and the added benefit of a south-facing conservatory. The interior of the property is immaculate with plenty of storage space both downstairs and upstairs.

Off the entrance hall there is a large downstairs cloakroom and storage cupboard with shelving.

The sitting room, entered from the entrance hall is bright and enjoys free-flowing access to the conservatory. There is a gas fire and feature fireplace in the sitting room which is run from a separate gas supply. 

Also off the entrance hall is the dining room with views out over the fields to the rear of the property. This rooms provide enough space for a large dining table and a dresser unit and offers extensive views over the fields to the rear of the property. 

The kitchen, breakfast room / utility room runs the full breadth of the cottage and provides light from 3 aspects; with access out onto the driveway and gardens to the north. 

The kitchen is fitted extensively with modern base and upper units which have been fitted to be flexible to suit the needs of the owners. There are spice and pantry cupboards providing extensive organised space. There is room for a dishwasher next to the sink and a fridge. In the utility area of the kitchen there is a second sink and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer and access directly to the outside. The breakfast area is large enough to seat six comfortably around a table. 

Stairs from the dining room lead up to a light and airy landing with large airing cupboard providing extra storage and drying facilities. 

Off the landing are the three bedrooms and family bathroom. 

The master bedroom has a duel aspect and extensive fitted wardrobes, chest-of-drawers and dressing table. 

There is an en-suite with shower, low-level WC and sink and views to the rear of the property overlooking the fields. 

The second double bedroom is also fitted with wardrobes, chest-of-drawers and dressing table and views to the countryside. The family bathroom with views to the southwest has a low-level W.C, sink and bath with an overhead shower. 

Bedroom three is currently being used as a study and childs bedroom with fitted furniture matching the other bedrooms. There is plenty of room for a single bed and desk area.  

OUTSIDE

Pear Tree Cottage has a wrap-around garden with a mixture of gravel and stone paths and seating areas sympathetically arranged to capture sun-spots at varying times of the day. To the front of the property there is a hedge and herbaceous border providing privacy from the lane and focal areas with stone ornaments. 

To the southwest of the property there is a small wooden lean-to that provides coverage for the gas cylinders and a wonderful outdoor covered seating area perfect for evening meals in the sunshine overlooking the fields.

To the north of the property beside the driveway, the large double garage is currently being used as a studio. It has been lined and is heated to provide the perfect workspace, art studio or hobby room. The garage has previously had planning permission to be connected to the main house and be used as further family space or an annex. 

The permission was also granted to erect a new garage and although this has lapsed, it is thought would be possible to reapply for planning. The driveway is gravelled and currently large enough to park six cars. Beyond the driveway to the north and over looking the fields to the south there is a beautiful grassed garden area with herbaceous borders and hedges as well as a greenhouse and garden shed. There is another seating area at the far end which enjoys views of the countryside.
