Property Information
The Old Bakehouse, is a self contained cottage that sits in the west wing of Wythall House. As the name suggests, the property was once the bakery for this beautiful 16th Century Manor, a house steeped in history and quite simply a stunning location. It sits within the Wye Valley countryside with large secluded grounds surrounding (including the family of ducks and chickens that roam freely!) with tranquility the order of the day! Internally the property comprises comfortable accommodation with two good sized bedrooms upstairs. The home retains all the character features that you would expect of a listed building namely beams, the original lead windows, and exposed walls.
Set in the heart of the Wye Valley countryside, the 'cottage' is an ideal base from which to explore the area, including the market town of Ross on Wye. We see this as an excellent value for money holiday cottage with all basic amenities included.
