Property details
Garway Cross is a spacious detached country house in a South Herefordshire village with large gardens, set in idyllic countryside with extensive views over the Monnow valley into Monmouthshire. It is a beautiful old red sandstone house with slated roofs, set into a sloping site. Previously two cottages, parts of the building ar ... moree believed to date from the 18th century, parts are Victorian and all sympathetically and carefully renovated and extended within the last 20 years. Due to it’s setting, the house has a unique rambling character, with rooms on three floors and several levels, some low sloping ceilings, exposed beams, stone fireplaces and other original features.
Garway is a much sort after village, set in beautiful, rolling countryside, less than 2 miles from the Welsh boarder; with primary school, post office and pub, a rich community life and a regular bus service to the cathedral city of Hereford. The parish church dates back to the Knights Templar. The village is within easy reach of four historic market towns, Monmouth (7 miles), Abergavenny (12 miles), Ross-on-Wye (10 miles) and Hereford (14 miles). From Monmouth the A40 links to the M4 and Newport, Cardiff and the Severn Bridge. From Ross-on-Wye the M50 links to the M5 and Gloucester, Cheltenham, Birmingham and the Midlands.
This is a wonderful family home ideally suited to children. The local primary school is a 5 minute walk up the lane, and there is an excellent choice of both comprehensive and private schools within an easily commutable distance, as well as at least four Tertiary and Further Education Colleges in and around Hereford.

The mature organically cultivated garden extends to approximately 2/3 acre is exceptionally beautiful and varied. A knot garden of box hedging grows adjacent to the flagstone path leading to the front door with flowers and shrubs on the other side.

The south facing garden slopes gently and has been landscaped with many retaining walls and steps built from local stone. The extensive vegetable garden is laid out in potager style with a lily pond and productive fruit bushes and trees. The vegetable garden also has three 1m3 wooden compost bins, tool shed, rustic shelter overlooking the pond and an 8ft square greenhouse.

The garden is enclosed by mixed hedging, bordering fields to the north and east, a neighbouring garden to the west and a quiet lane to the south. It is a wonderful haven for a vast variety of wildlife, such as foxes, badgers and deer, as well as frogs, newts, grass snakes and a diverse array of butterflies, moths, dragonflies and bees.
