Arrange a Viewing

Introduction The Bothy is a most attractive detached cottage in the sought-after small hamlet of Lower Hergest. The current owners have recently undertaken an comprehensive yet most sympathetic range of improvements, with extensive use of high quality materials such as ??Laura Ashley?? wallpaper, whilst retaining the many character features to include exposed beams and stonework, sash windows at the front, as well as a delightful large inglenook fireplace in the Kitchen/Living Room. The property is set in beautifully designed gardens and enjoys countryside views yet, despite its peaceful setting, is by no means isolated and conveniently situated a short drive from the market town of Kington with its wide range of amenities. Viewing is essential to appreciate the exceptionally well presented accommodation and enviable location.
