Location & Description

The site now being offered for sale stands on a quiet country lane close to the centre of the historic village of Hoarwithy, some 8 miles south of the cathedral city of Hereford and approx 6 miles north west of the market & tourist town of Ross-on-Wye. The beautiful River Wye runs between these two towns, and the plots are situated within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village pub lies close by in the heart of the village, whilst just a few hundred yards away stands the architecturally stunning St Catherine’s Church, designed in an Italianate Romanesque style, Brooks & Pevsner describing it as “the most impressive Victorian church in the county”. Enthusiastic village locals have recently made Grant Application for a sensitive, part conversion of the Church to offer wider facilities for the benefit of both locals and tourists. This project alone gives one some idea of the village spirit!

For those concerned with strategic location and accessibility, the M50 motorway, accessed some 15 minutes away at Ross-on-Wye, enables first class communication into the national motorway network.

For those who enjoy the countryside, there are many beautiful walks in the area, whilst golf and shooting are both available locally, as is canoeing on the River Wye. Educationally, there are excellent schools in both Hereford and Ross-on-Wye, with many nearby villages offering good primary schools.
