Appealing Detached Stone Built Cottage Commanding Stunning Open Views Across Glorious Countryside. Extensive Lawned & Sloping Gardens, Part Fringed By Trees, And Extending To Approaching 1 Acre. EPC E

Location

The picturesque riverside market settlement of Ross-on-Wye is the only English town standing within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Formerly a centre for leather working, shoe making, brewing, corn milling and glove making, Ross became a very busy Coaching town in the 18th and 19th Centuries. When viewed from either of the river bridges, the white painted façade of The Royal Hotel stands adjacent to the fine, 206 feet steeple of St Marys Church. With a population of around 10,000, Ross remains a bustling town and the summer months in particular see many visitors coming to canoe, fish, cycle or alternatively enjoy more leisurely pursuits involving food and drink, perhaps downing a refreshing cider from one of the many local artisan cider makers.

Description

Location & Description
The fascinating property known as Kitts Bank occupies high ground on the southern outskirts of the thriving village of Garway, some 10 miles west of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye and the M50. With stone elevations under a double pitched slate roof, the cottage stands completely on its own set in approaching an acre of well planted gardens with a line of trees fringing the upper, north eastern boundary. Views from the plot are spectacular, extending across the Monnow Valley, and in the far distance encompassing Hay Bluff. Despite this rural seclusion, Hereford, Abergavenny, Monmouth and Ross are all within approx. 25 minutes drive. The village of Garway has an ancient Templar Church, primary school, pub and very active new village hall, whilst the village of Skenfrith, just south of the property, has The Bell Inn and a fascinating English Heritage Castle. For those looking for a truly unique property in a wonderfully tranquil setting, this could be the one!

Kitchen/Breakfast/Family Room
The 22' kitchen/breakfast/family room is a true feature of the property. With a beamed ceiling and glazing to the front elevation the room provides far reaching views across the valley. The kitchen area has a range of floor and wall mounted units, a large Belfast sink, together with an Aga.

Living Room
The front door gives access to an exceptionally appealing and generous entrance hall. From here the stairs lead to the first floor where currently the main living room is located, taking advantage of the spectacular views, however this could easily be returned to a bedroom if required. With windows to three elevations this room is filled with natural light and has a feature brick fireplace

Bedrooms & Bathrooms
To the ground floor there is currently a generous bedroom together with a separate shower room and w.c., whilst to the first floor is a further double bedroom and a family bathroom.

Outside
The driveway to the property is approached from the south, beyond which is a gravelled area fringed by colourful planting. An area of lawn extends northwards past the front of the property, there being several attractive trees fringing the south western boundary.

The ground rises to the north of this area, and here is a part paved, part gravel sun terrace, backed by an attractive stone wall and with a creeper clad pergola covering one portion. A splendid spot to relax, and gaze at the wonderful vista before one.

To a slightly higher area are further areas of lawn and stone walling, with a line of trees fringing the upper, north eastern boundary. We would suggest that any purchaser of this property will be a gardener, and we suspect that these gardens would once have been the pride and joy of the owner.
