Location
The picturesque market town of Ross-on-Wye is renowned for being the birthplace of British tourism, thanks to its spectacular scenery. The town is perched on red sandstone cliffs that overlook the River Wye.
The vibrant town centre, located approximately one mile north of Frome Valley Way, offers a delightful blend of amenities, including an eclectic mix of shops and independently owned boutiques, complemented by a diverse selection of restaurants and welcoming pubs. The area also boasts a variety of leisure facilities, along with an extensive network of scenic countryside and riverside walks-many of which meander through open fields alongside the glorious River Wye, providing a tranquil escape into nature. Additionally, there are four reputable primary schools and one secondary school within the town, alongside two GP practices and a community hospital.
In the opposite direction, just one mile away, lies the charming village of Walford. At its heart is its nursery and primary school, proudly awarded an 'Outstanding' rating in its most recent Ofsted inspection in summer 2024. The village also features The Mill Race, a highly regarded family-run restaurant known for its warm hospitality, as well as a well-maintained village hall and recreation ground that serve as a hub for community life.
Frome Valley Way is also within easy reach of major road networks; the A40 is approximately two-and-a-half miles away, and the east-bound road provides a direct route to Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds. Meanwhile, motorists heading in the opposite direction can journey towards the M4 at Newport, giving access to Cardiff and London. In addition, the M50 motorway begins around three miles away, and this gives good access to the M5 - leading to Birmingham to the north and Bristol to the south.
It is also worth noting that Birmingham City Airport, Bristol Airport and Cardiff Airport are each approximately one hour away by car.
The Home at a Glance
This beautifully presented modern detached home is discreetly tucked away within a welcoming neighbourhood, enjoying a pleasant position directly opposite a small children's play area.
The main entrance sits beneath an attractive canopied porch, opening into a reception hall that sets a natural flow throughout the ground floor. To the right, a door leads into two well-proportioned reception rooms, seamlessly connected by a cased opening. The sitting room is centred around an electric feature fireplace and bears a charming outlook over the front garden, while the dining room enjoys French doors that open directly onto the rear garden.
The open-plan kitchen and dining space also features French doors, allowing for an effortless indoor-outdoor connection during the warmer months. The kitchen is stylishly appointed with chic sage-green cabinetry, including a glass-fronted display unit, and is fitted with integrated appliances such as a Bosch dishwasher, double Zanussi ovens, a gas hob, and a Bosch extractor fan. Additional features include a 1½ sink with mixer tap, space for a fridge/freezer, and a built-in washing machine. An under-stairs pantry provides further practical storage, and the next door leads into integral garage-equipped with light and power-offering flexibility for additional appliances such as a tumble dryer or chest freezer.
A staircase rises from the reception hall to a bright, dual-aspect galleried landing, flooded with natural light and providing access to the loft.
The first floor accommodates four generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a particularly pleasing outlook towards Chase Woods and benefits from fitted wardrobes, along with a well-appointed en-suite shower room featuring a walk-in shower, countertop vanity unit, and WC. The second bedroom shares a similarly appealing view and includes a built-in wardrobe. The remaining two bedrooms overlook the rear garden, one of which also has a built-in wardrobe.
In terms of washing facilities, the family bathroom is fully tiled and fitted with a modern three-piece suite, including a bath with overhead shower. An airing cupboard nearby offers useful, warm storage for towels. A conveniently located ground-floor cloakroom completes the internal accommodation.
Outside, the rear garden is enclosed by close-board fencing, creating a safe and private setting. A wooden decked area adjacent to the dining room provides an ideal space for al fresco dining, with the added bonus of a delightful view towards the iconic spire of St Mary's Church in central Ross-on-Wye. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by a patio terrace in the far corner-perfectly positioned to capture either sun or shade throughout the day.
