Location
Situated near to the wonderful Wye Valley and with good access to surrounding historic towns, such as Ross-on-Wye, Monmouth, Chepstow or Gloucester. Camomile Green lies on the north-west edge of the Royal Forest of Dean - an area which offers 24,000 acres of magnificent countryside, award-winning picnic sites, family cycle routes and gorgeous walks.
The home at a glance
The property is approached via double wooden gates which give access to the generous driveway. From here, steps lead down to a patioed area and to the front door. The initial hallway, which is a practical space (with storage area for coats and boots and laminate flooring) flows into the inner hallway, with doors to the utility/cloakroom, kitchen/dining room and to the lounge. Situated at the front, the lounge enjoys fine countryside views through its dual aspect windows and features a wood burning stove and solid oak flooring, making it a perfect room for cosy evenings or cooler winter days. The kitchen/dining room has been created from what would have been two rooms and now offers a lovely bright and spacious area for use during the daytime. There is an extensive range of wall and base units and built in appliances to include, electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dish washer. In addition you will find cabinet under-lighting, 1 ½ bowl ceramic sink and a wood burner in the dining area. This room enjoys garden views and a number of doors lead out to the full width terrace.
The first floor is accessed via the turning staircase in the hallway and leads to the three bedrooms and family bathroom. The master bedroom features an en-suite with shower, wash hand basin and WC, providing another benefit of a more modern home. Practicality comes also from the attractive UPVC windows which are the style of sash casements, but are designed to also be tilted for easy cleaning.
Views over countryside or your own gardens are enjoyed from practically every window in this property, continually reminding you of how attractive and peaceful a location you are in.
Outside
The property also benefits from an additional attached workshop space (formerly the garage) which could be used for a multitude of uses or even brought into the accommodation proper. Currently this creates the perfect man cave, with space for bikes, motor bikes etc. There is further additional storage space on the floor above accessed via a wooden set of steps. Access doors to both front and rear, along with lighting and power supplies.
The front garden is enclosed by beech hedging and is divided up into areas, to include patio. lawn and vegetable plot. There are varietal trees, such as apple, acer and silver birch, along with numerous shrubs and flower borders.
The rear garden is initially laid to patio with areas of lawn, raised borders (some enclosed by dry stone walling) and in addition a poly tunnel and wooden storage shed. There are trees to include, silver birch and copper beech.
Additional land is found and accessed at the side of the property. A gate leads into the adjoining field, which has been divided up into plots and is owned by neighbouring properties. This land is recognised as 'designated important open space' meaning that it cannot be built on or have any type of permanent structure built. This does not mean that it cannot be used and enjoyed, as the current owners have done previously, for exercising the dogs, keeping chickens or enjoying as extra garden space. The specific plot belonging to The Orchard has been sectioned off for clarity, (please see the blue marker poles) but can be fully enclosed if required or left as grazing land as currently.
