CHURCH COTTAGE, STRETTON GRANDISON, LEDBURY, HEREFORDSHIRE, £375,000

WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN THE SOUND OF CHURCH BELLS ringing on a Sunday morning while you’re still tucked up in bed with the papers? With views of St Lawrence’s towering spire, Church Cottage is perfectly placed for this to become a reality. Complete with a rustic thatched roof and distinctive black-and-white exterior, this lovely 17th-century dwelling offers an assortment of period features – from original timber beams to traditional quarry tiles and a kitchen including a pantry and Rayburn. A south-westfacing garden promises to burst into life come spring, and Homend Park (and its many footpaths) are a short walk away. The cottage’s location in the pretty hamlet of Stretton Grandison means it has great access to the Herefordshire countryside – perfect for brisk winter walks – while the historic cathedral cities of Worcester and Hereford are less than an hour’s drive away.
