Location
Three Ashes is tucked away in a peaceful corner of south Herefordshire, and there are several nearby villages, such as Garway, St Owen's Cross and Peterstow which offer various welcoming country pubs.
The home is around a ten-minute drive from the Welsh market town of Monmouth and a 15-minute drive from the English border town of Ross-on-Wye. Both towns offer a variety of supermarkets, shops, independently owned boutiques, restaurants, bars, reputable schools, and leisure facilities, but it is worth noting that Monmouth also includes private schooling options. The cathedral city of Hereford, around 20 minutes away by car, also offers a wider selection of shops dining and leisure facilities.

The home at a glance
The heart of the home is a beautifully bright open-plan living space. Much of the light pours in through the bi-fold doors, which lead out to the south-facing rear garden. In terms of practicalities, the kitchen includes chic grey base-and-wall mounted units and dark quartz worktops. There are modern integrated appliances which include an Electrolux oven and ceramic hob with an extractor fan, a Zanussi dishwasher and a Zanussi washing machine.
The three double bedrooms all include built-in wardrobes, and, of these, the master also boasts an en-suite shower room. It is also worth noting that the wardrobe in the dual-aspect second bedroom, accommodates the cylinder for the air source heating. The family bathroom, accessed off the reception hall, includes a bath with an overhead shower, a pedestal wash basin, a WC and a heated towel rail.
Outside, there is a substantially-sized driveway, which is enclosed by a closed-board fence. The generous grounds are yet to be landscaped but the rear garden does enjoy a fantastic backdrop of rolling farmland.
