The home at a glance
The rooms at the rear of the home - the dining room on the ground floor and two of the three upstairs bedrooms - face outwards to a gorgeous view of rolling farmland, and cattle are frequently seen grazing on this peaceful scene.
The property was originally built in the 1970s and has since been extended; the current owner added the dining room to the ground floor and, as the doors between this area and the lounge can be opened, this creates one large bright-and airy reception room - ideal for hosting larger scale get-togethers during special occasions.
There is scope to extend the property even further to its left-hand side - subject to the necessary planning consents - if a new owner wanted to add a fourth bedroom.
Location
Whitchurch is situated just two miles from the Welsh border and is found in the heart of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; the neighbouring areas of Symonds Yat and The Doward hills - both of which are a short walk from the village - are famed for their striking scenery and the setting is particularly popular with tourists during the summer. As such, the local residents can make full use of the phenomenal walking and cycling routes year round, plus the range of leisure pursuits and highly-commended bars and restaurants.
The village offers many crown jewels in the form of its local amenities, and arguably its most dazzling is the Church of England Primary School, which boasts a coveted 'Outstanding' Ofsted rating and has in recent years been placed in the top 2% of schools nationally in terms of the progress that children make in reading, writing and maths.
The village also includes a popular shop, Woods of Whitchurch which stocks locally made goods, freshly-baked cakes, fruit and vegetables, plus a variety of essentials. The shop also operates as a reputable coffee shop and takeaway.
There are also a couple of hospitality venues in Whitchurch; The Old Court serves comforting home-cooked meals and The Spice Tandoori is a popular Indian restaurant.
In terms of entertainment, during non-Covid times, the Whitchurch & Ganarew Memorial Hall hosts an array of community activities, such as Flicks in the Sticks - a monthly pop-up cinema.
Whitchurch also has easy access to major road networks - the A40 is a few moment's drive away, but because Ridgeway Crescent is positioned a short distance away from this route, there is minimal road noise. From the A40, motorists can join the M4 at Newport or the M50, which provides excellent commuter links to the M5.
In addition, Whitchurch it is nestled between the two popular market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth - both of which offer highly regarded secondary schools, supermarkets, a variety of restaurants, pubs, leisure facilities and independently-owned shops.
