Location

The village of Peterstow lies astride the A49 Ross to Hereford Road, some 3 miles west of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye.The village is sought after for a number of reasons. In the centre of the village is a large grassy Common, open to all, with a scattering of mature and younger deciduous trees. Many village activities take place during the course of the year on this Common and dog walkers will frequently stop and talk or sit on one of the benches and gaze out across the rolling Herefordshire countryside, Just a few paces away from the Common is the busy village shop, Post Office and Off Licence, whilst on the opposite side of the road is a bus stop with regular services to Ross, Hereford and Gloucester. There are two pubs, the Yew Tree and the Red Lion Inn, both locally owned, and much loved by the community. Ancient St Peters Church was transformed some 15 years ago to be both a church and multifunctional space, and is now used also as a village hall. A lovely friendly village which also has excellent access to the M50 motorway/A40 dual carriageway

Description

Notts Cottage lies some 3 miles West of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye in the heart of the lovely village of Peterstow. The location next to a main road quite naturally means that the property has road noise, but the double glazed windows and thick stone walls minimise the traffic noise inside the property. Hereford is 11 miles away to the northwest, whilst the M50 motorway/A40 dual carriageway, accessed at Ross, enables first class communication to most parts of the country.

The Cottage is primarily of stone construction, with rendered and colour washed elevations, under a double pitched, slate roof.
Internally there is a wealth of beams and exposed stonework, and the ground floor in particular is deceptively spacious, the living/dining room extending to 29'. Recessed in the attractive stone fireplace is the wood burning stove, whilst central heating is from an oil-fired radiator system, the Worcester boiler being newly installed in 2017, with the oil tank being replaced in 2019. Windows are UPVC double glazed.

For those who enjoy gardening, there is a 100' front garden, extensively paved, and having a 14' wooden garden shed, greenhouse, summerhouse and goldfish pond. The shed, summerhouse and pond are all supplied with electricity. The garden is well stocked with a wide variety of shrubs and young trees, and is generously proportioned.

Peterstow enjoys the benefit of a regular bus service to Ross, Hereford and Gloucester, and the excellent range of facilities in the village include the Post Office and Shop, directly opposite the cottage, Church/Village Hall, wonderful Yew Tree Pub and village common. On the outskirts of the village there is a further pub, the excellent Red Lion. The cottage is unlikely to suit tall people because of the low ceiling heights to much of the accommodation.
