Property description
A rarely available, idyllic four bedroom detached country cottage with successful holiday let providing supplementary income and accommodation. Nestled peacefully in 5.52 acres of organic gardens and woodlands. Situated just 3 miles from Ross-on-Wye.
Treetops is situated in a superb secluded and elevated rural setting amidst approximately 5.52 acres of English woodland and landscaped gardens. The property is approached via a small yet easily accessible track, a third of a mile in length, which gives enormous privacy and seclusion.
Literally on the doorstep there are miles of stunning countryside walks where a vast array of wildlife will undoubtedly be seen. There are no footpaths crossing the property.
