A hugely iconic property in south Herefordshire. The former Toll House spans the River Wye linking Hoarwithy with Kings Caple.
Historically the property predates the current bridge and was responsible for collecting tolls up until the 1930's where it was acquired by Herefordshire Council and freed of all tolls at that time they took over the maintenance of the bridge.
The property has been in private ownership for almost twenty years generating income from tourism and residential use.
The Wye Valley is renowned for its tourism and its particular location with views down the river. It is always sought after and will undoubtably continue to provide investment/tourism/Air Bnb income for people enjoying the rural nature of the Wye Valley - water sports, fishing or kayaking/canoeing.

* Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation, i.e. 'The Reserve'. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.
By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
