Location
Pontshill is tucked away in a tranquil corner of Herefordshire, around four miles south of the popular market town Ross-on-Wye which offers several supermarkets, an assortment of shops, a range of restaurants, plus welcoming pubs and various leisure facilities.
The Little Stone Barn is set amongst converted cider farm buildings which surround Wallow Farm. The setting is wonderfully peaceful yet the A40 is only around half a mile away. This gives a direct route to Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds. The M50 is just over four miles away.
The home at a glance
The Little Stone Barn is built from a richly coloured red sandstone which, for centuries, has been used in Herefordshire buildings and is synonymous with the local area.
Stone steps with iron railings lead up to the front door, to the right is an ideal place to sit on a summer evening.
The entrance hallway gives a welcoming first impression to the home; one of the main focal points are the exposed ceiling beams – a lovely feature that continues throughout the property. To the left of the entrance hall is a cloakroom which houses a walk-in shower. The attractive kitchen/breakfast room is on the opposite side of the hallway, facing to the front of the property it catches the late afternoon sunshine making it a lovely space in which to prepare the evening meal.
The living room is spacious, bright and airy; natural light pours in through the French doors, skylight and additional window. An exposed stone wall, wood floor and beams reflect a warm, earthy colour scheme that compliments the character of the property.
The utility room has a door opening out to the rear garden. It contains a selection of storage cupboards, plumbing for washing machine and a Belfast sink.
Both bedrooms are on the first floor. They each have vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and while they are of a similar size, the second bedroom has built in wooden cupboards over the door and along one wall giving excellent storage space. In the beamed bathroom, there is a shower over the bath and a skylight giving the room plenty of natural light. At the opposite end of the landing is an airing cupboard.
The pretty, mature and colourful rear garden features a summer house at the far end with a quirky wooden deck, a lovely secluded seating area which gets the early evening sun. Nearby is an apple tree and a pear tree. There is a garden shed with a small covered seating area and three further storage sheds.
