Weston Under Penyard, Ross-on-Wye

This handsome double-fronted home is in the heart of an idyllic south Herefordshire village. The bright and airy five-bedroom residence is generously proportioned and boasts three reception rooms, plus a capacious dining kitchen, a well-established manicured garden and a detached double garage.

The rolling hills of Chase Wood and Penyard Hill not only serve as an impressive backdrop but also present an excellent landscape for country walks; there is an enjoyable circular route over Penyard Hill that leads over meadows towards Ross-on-Wye, a beautiful market town which is famed for being the birthplace of British tourism due to its spectacular scenery.

Location
Weston under Penyard boasts a 17th-century pub, a village hall, a large recreation ground and a Church of England primary school - which is graded "Good" by Ofsted.
By road, Ross-on-Wye is approximately two miles from Weston. The town is perched on red sandstone cliffs which overlook the River Wye. Its centre 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. There are also four primary schools and one high school in the town, as well as two GP surgeries and a community hospital.
Weston is within easy reach of major road networks; the A40 runs through the village. 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.
It is also worth noting that Birmingham City Airport, Bristol Airport and Cardiff Airport are each approximately one hour away by car.

The home at a glance
This immaculately presented home is set within a small and desirable development, of which number 18 was once the show house. While it is modern and therefore boasts all the comforts of contemporary life, it does exhibit a plethora of timelessly elegant features, such as Georgian-style double-glazed windows and high ceilings.
The front garden sets a sublime scene as it is brimming with roses, lavender and other ornamental plants. From here, the main entrance leads into an expansive reception hall; a striking oak staircase takes centre stage and a porcelain tile floor flows throughout the expanse.
Of the three reception rooms, two are found on opposite sides of the reception hall. On the left, there is a spacious sitting room. Plenty of natural light cascades into the triple-aspect space and a set of French doors lead out to the walled garden. A stone fireplace houses a gas fireplace, presenting a divine setting for those cosy winter evenings.
The dining room sits on the right-hand side of the reception hall, and this offers an excellent area to host larger-scale events or family parties.
The third reception room, a light-streamed, triple-aspect conservatory, is found off the kitchen. Underfloor heating ensures that the room can continue to be enjoyed throughout even the coldest months of the year.
The kitchen - which is large enough to also accommodate a dining area - includes base-and-wall-mounted shaker-style units with solid wooden worktops, a kitchen island with a breakfast bar and granite countertop, a built-in dresser, glass-fronted display units, a deep ceramic sink and a variety of modern integrated appliances, such as a fridge, a freezer, a Zanussi microwave and a dishwasher. An impressive Rangemaster cooker grants an impressive focal point and this is framed by a patterned tile splashback and concealed extractor.
The kitchen leads through into a utility room, which includes extra storage, an extra sink, the combi-boiler and space and plumbing for both a washing machine and a tumble dryer.
The ground floor of the property also includes a cloakroom as well as plenty of under-stair storage.
Upstairs, a galleried landing gives access to the five bedrooms and family bathroom, which contains a four-piece white suite.
The commodious and dual-aspect master suite boasts its own private bathroom, plus four built-in wardrobes and a dressing area.
The second bedroom also includes an en-suite shower room as well as a large built-in wardrobe.
Of the three other bedrooms, two also include a good amount of built-in storage, whereas the other presently serves as a study.
Outside, the rear garden offers a serene space to sit and watch the visiting birds. A level lawn is bordered by hedges and shrubs, which help to create a sense of privacy. An Indian sandstone patio wraps around the property and a variety of mature trees - such as a flowering cherry and silver birches - beautify the expanse.
The detached double garage includes remote-controlled up-and-over garage doors, light and power, plus a workshop area - complete with tool benches.
