Location:
The picturesque market town of Ross-on-Wye is famed for being the birthplace of British tourism due to its spectacular scenery; the town is perched on red sandstone cliffs which overlook the River Wye.
The town centre, which is around 100 metres from River View, features an assortment of shops, independently owned boutiques, a range of restaurants, welcoming pubs, various leisure facilities, plus a network of countryside and riverside walks - many of which are a stone's throw from Wye Street. Ross is within easy reach of major road networks - the A40 is nearby, 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 begins in Ross-on-Wye, giving good access to the M5 - leading to Birmingham to the north and Bristol to the south. Birmingham City Airport, Bristol Airport and Cardiff Airport are each approximately one hour away by car.
The home at a glance:
River View is perched in an elevated position over the River Wye, across the road from the magnificent waterway's spellbinding spectacle, with various reputable coffeehouses and pubs nearby. The main entrance into the double-fronted home leads into a reception hall - complete with a full-height modern radiator and electric underfloor heating - which gives a warm vestibule for removing shoes and coats after spending time enjoying the great outdoors. On the left-hand side, there is a sitting room which carries exposed beams, double-glazed sash windows and an inglenook fireplace which houses a multi-fuel stove. Bookshelves have been fitted around the chimney breast, and a door in the far corner gives access to a large under-stair cupboard, which also includes a fitted dresser.
The dining kitchen sits on the opposite side of the reception hall and this space is beautifully bright, as natural light pours in through two aspects. A redbrick fireplace presents a particularly pleasing focal point, as do sky-blue tiles which adorn the kitchen, a double-glazed sash window, shaker-style units and a fitted dresser. In terms of practicalities, there are several integrated appliances which include a Bosch under-counter fridge, a Bosch under-counter freezer, an AEG double oven and a gas hob, plus a freestanding dishwasher and a mains gas combi-boiler which is concealed within a cupboard.
A door in the far corner of the kitchen leads through to a lobby, which includes the staircase to the first floor. The first room - accessed through a set of French doors - presently serves as another sitting room, although the space may otherwise suit as a fourth bedroom. It carries a cast iron fireplace, a double-glazed sash window, a built-in wardrobe and a view over the Wye and the Rope Walk - a pretty riverside walking route.
Another double bedroom on this level of the property bears the same delightful outlook and style of window, a cast iron feature fireplace, and a vanity unit. The elegant family bathroom contains a chic slipper bath with a shower attachment, WC, vanity unit, a Victorian-style radiator and an illuminated mirror. Natural light pours into the space through a quirky circular window. The top floor includes two more double bedrooms, both of which showcase the sublime scenery through double-glazed sash windows wonderfully well. Of these, one serves as the master bedroom as it boasts a vaulted ceiling, which accentuates its generous size. The expanse is also equipped with a vanity unit and built-in wardrobes, one of which includes hanging and shelving space, the other of which features space and plumbing for a washing machine and a tumble dryer.
On this level of the property, there is a shower room - complete with a step-in corner shower, a WC and a vanity unit.
River View also boasts a private courtyard - which is enveloped by the richly coloured red sandstone cliff face and presents a private spot for alfresco dining. There is also secure gated side access.
