Bishopswood, Ross-on-Wye

4 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Ross-on-Wye

Sellers Insight:

Pembroke House has been a lovely family home for us for the last couple of years and we have enjoyed the country surroundings, space, and locality of walks in the Forest of Dean, Symonds Yat, Ross-on-Wye etc. The canoe launch within easy walking distance has been a big favourite for our children and us alike.
With this, easy access to the M4, M5 and south Wales has been great for our commuting as part of day-to-day work allowing us to live in such an idyllic location.

The south facing garden has provided us with many happy memories, either as a family on hot summer days, or hosting guests and cooking barbeques on the patio.

As part of our time in the property, we have tried to make it a flexible family home, suitable as a work environment and for hosting guests whilst maintaining its Georgian character. We are sorry to be leaving, but the next step in our lives awaits us.

Overview:

This attractive double fronted home, Georgian in style and of perfect proportions, has been extensively remodelled by the current owners, who have completely updated much of the property. This has given them the opportunity to create a spacious ground floor suite of rooms that all flow nicely into each other and provide open plan living but with the sense of designated areas. Sitting in an elevated position and with wonderful views from practically every window, the property definitely provides the feeling of country living, at the same time not being isolated and with some amenities nearby. The gardens are established and there is driveway parking for several vehicles as well as a detached garage for the bikes or perhaps a classic car.

Location:

The border village of Bishopswood sits firmly in the beautiful Wye Valley AONB, which is packed with history, as well as attractive walking and cycling routes. The Inn on the Wye public house is within walking distance as is village hall and the petrol station for basic grocery supplies. Goodrich Primary School rated 'Good' by Ofsted is a short distance away and there are further schools in Walford & Whitchurch. Bishopswood is roughly 6-10 miles in either direction to the popular market towns of Monmouth and Ross-on-Wye, both of which feature independent shops, cafes, and restaurants, as well as prestigious comprehensive and private schools. The river itself offers numerous activities such as kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding or just being somewhere to relax at one of the numerous riverside pubs or cafes.

Property in brief:

The property is approached via what appears to be the original front door, complete with its ornate brass doorbell pull and bell. In entering, the hallway has stairs to the first floor with storage cupboard under and there are doors to either side. In choosing the left-hand door you find yourself in the living room, with its multi-paned sash window and feature fireplace with inset wood burning stove. An archway from here leads to the dining area, which in turn is open plan to the spacious and practical kitchen, just beyond the dining room is a rear lobby that leads to a storage cupboard housing the combi boiler and to a wet room with walk-in shower wash hand basin and WC. The kitchen itself is a fabulous space with extensive wall and base units and in contrasting finishes, such as glazed display units and solid wooden worktops along with natural stone flooring. In addition, there is a 'Belfast' style double sink, integrated dishwasher, space for range cooker and a good-sized shaped island with a breakfast bar that sits neatly between the kitchen and then open plan to the snug area. There are numerous windows offering garden views and a stable door that leads to the patio terrace. The snug area has a feature exposed brick fireplace for the addition of a wood burner and there is another multi-pane sash window overlooking the front and to the Wye Valley beyond.

The majority of the downstairs rooms feature attractive Karndean flooring, which provides for continuity and the feeling of shared open-plan spaces but with an individual purpose to each room.

Moving to the upstairs a bright and spacious landing then gives access to the four bedrooms and bathroom.

The two front facing bedrooms, offer wonderful countryside views through their double-glazed sash windows with the main bedroom benefiting from built-in wardrobes. The other two bedrooms are situated to the rear and have views out to each side. The bathroom has a three-piece white suite, with bath, wash hand basin and WC.
