This generously proportioned four-bedroom home enjoys a prime location, just under half a mile from the heart of a picturesque market town. Set centrally within its plot, the detached 1960s residence occupies one of the area's most sought-after streets. Offering excellent scope for modernisation and personalisation, the property presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to create a bespoke home while maximising its substantial size and enviable location.

Location:

Ashfield Crescent is one of Ross-on-Wye's most desirable areas, as much of it is set inside a conservation area, an expanse recognized for its historical significance, architectural heritage, and natural beauty. The town centre is less than half a mile away, and it is a short, level stroll towards the high street; a particularly pleasing route leads past the tennis courts and through the churchyard.

Ross-on-Wye offers an assortment of shops, supermarkets, independently owned boutiques, restaurants, welcoming pubs, reputable schools and various leisure facilities. Ross also houses two GP surgeries and both of these, plus the local community hospital, are approximately one-quarter of a mile from the property.

Numerous spectacular woodland, riverside and country hikes are nearby, including the Town and Country Trail, Chase Woods, the John Kyrle circular walk, and The Rope Walk – the latter of which is an enjoyable stroll which leads alongside the River Wye.
Ross is also within easy access of major road networks. From Walford Road, the A40 is around 1.5 miles away, and the eastbound 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 is around two miles away, and this gives good access to the M5.

The Home at a Glance:

Drumpellier is discreetly set back behind tall, dense hedging, creating an immediate sense of privacy. The main entrance opens into a bright, triple-aspect boot room, providing a welcoming and practical vestibule for removing coats and shoes before stepping into the main house.

The reception hall is arranged in a flowing loop, enhancing the sense of space and connectivity throughout the ground floor. To the left lies an expansive sitting room, where windows at either end frame attractive views across both the manicured front and rear gardens. A handsome stone fireplace forms a striking focal point, while a cased opening subtly divides the room into two distinct yet connected living areas.

Situated at the far end of the reception hall, the kitchen is fitted with base-and-wall-mounted units, a one-and-a-half bowl sink with a mixer tap, an oven with a ceramic hob and an overhead extractor fan. There is provision for a dishwasher and an under-counter fridge, alongside a full-height pantry cupboard.

A door from the kitchen leads into the formal dining room, a beautifully bright dual-aspect room that comfortably accommodates larger gatherings. From here, access is provided to the cloakroom, which features a decorative tiled floor and a separate WC cubicle, before leading back into the reception hall and completing the circulation loop.

Also on the ground floor is a well-appointed utility room located beyond the kitchen. This space offers provision for a washing machine and tumble dryer, room for additional appliances, further storage units and an additional sink. Two doors provide direct access to the rear garden, and the gas boiler is neatly housed here.

The first floor hosts four bedrooms. The dual-aspect principal bedroom enjoys views over the rear garden on one side and Ashfield Crescent's appealing mixture of architecture on the other, and is complemented by an en suite bathroom fitted with a three-piece suite.

Two of the remaining bedrooms are generously sized doubles. One benefits from a built-in storage cupboard and arguably the finest outlook in the house, with far-reaching views across open countryside and rugged hills beyond the rear garden. The other overlooks the front garden and features the chimney breast. The fourth bedroom, also with a built-in storage cupboard, enjoys views across the front garden.

Serving the remaining bedrooms is the family bathroom, which is fitted with a Roca basin and WC, along with a walk-in shower.

Additional storage is provided by an airing cupboard on the landing, from which there is also access to the large, fully boarded loft.

Externally, the property benefits from a detached garage and a gravelled driveway providing off-street parking.
