Both dwellings have three-bedrooms on the first floor with kitchen, living room and utility area on the ground floor. They benefit from UPVC windows, are heated via LPG boiler and radiators and served by mains electricity and water and private drainage to septic tank.

Both share a large lawned garden and No. 2 has parking to the rear and No. 1 benefitting from front parking and direct access to the main road.

Both properties have use of some timber portal outbuildings which offer useful storage and amenity space.

The cottages offer the potential to convert into a single detached dwelling or renovate and modernise to continue as a pair of semi-detached properties. They might also be removed to benefit the wider planning permission subject to obtaining the necessary consents. They offer useful on-site accommodation alongside the neighbouring development.

A grass paddock is also available, with existing access to the rear of the stone barn. It extends to 1.48 acres and has mature hedgerow as its boundary. The land is adjacent to the settlement boundary defined in the Clifford Neighbourhood Development Plan 2022. It offers amenity value to the existing dwellings or development potential subject to the necessary consents.

Location
White House Cottages are situated within the village of Clifford, a historic hamlet overlooked by the Norman Motte and Bailey Castle on the Welsh Border. Clifford is a desirable area with an excellent village primary school and thriving community. It is in a splendid, picturesque setting, on the banks of the River Wye with far reaching views towards the Black Mountains and Bannau Brycheiniog. The cultural town of Hay-on-Wye is 2 miles southwest, offering a range of independent shops, eateries and home to the renowned Hay Festival.

The A438 is 1.5 miles north of the property via the Whitney Toll Bridge. This connects the City of Hereford (17 miles) with the Mid-Wales town of Brecon (18 miles), offering further recreation, education and employment opportunities. The nearest rail service is Hereford offering connections to London Paddington, Birmingham, Manchester and Cardiff.

Services
Mains water with three-phase electricity are available on site. The existing and proposed dwellings are served by private treatment plants to drainage fields. Interested parties are to undertake their own enquiries in regard to services available.

Planning
The site benefits from planning approval for three new dwellings, approved in October 2025:
P250452/F: Proposed erection of two dwellings; conversion of a redundant barn to a dwelling; and associated works.
The scheme proposes conversion of the stone barn adjacent to the cottages to a large dwelling with open-plan downstairs living and four double bedrooms with ensuite upstairs. It is proposed to have existing access onto the main road, and there is a useful timber portal barn offering future garage or ancillary accommodation subject to planning.
The new detached dwellings are located to the west and east of the cottages respectively, both with attached garages and generous gardens. They are to benefit from the existing rear access to the north of the site
