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

The Holt occupies a secluded rural location some 7 miles northwest of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye and 9 miles south of the Cathedral City of Hereford.

Constructed of stone in the middle of the 19th Century, the property has subsequently been extended on at least two occasions, and over recent years has undergone further refurbishment works. These included the redesign and refitting of the kitchen/breakfast room some three years ago. The property also has the benefit of being re-roofed in recent years.

Most families spend a considerable time in or around the kitchen, and here one has a superb 22' kitchen, directly adjacent to which is the most appealing beamed dining room with exposed stonework to one wall. Opposite, a wide archway and two steps down to the exceptionally light living room. This room is particularly light not only because of the extensive glazing to the south, but also two strategically placed Velux roof lights. Also present at ground floor level is a utility room which doubles as a study, and a refitted bath/shower room and w.c. The first floor comprises four bedrooms and a further refurbished bath/shower room and w.c.

The rear view from bedroom four is delightful, extending over a field bordered by some mature deciduous trees.
Central heating is from an oil-fired radiator system and all windows are double glazed.

Immediately to the front of the property is a gravelled sun terrace with adjacent shrub and flower bed. Beyond same is an extensive lawn sloping very gently to the south, and to the eastern boundary of the lawn, there are a series of outbuildings including a summerhouse, which doubles as an office/studio, and has power. Nearby is a single detached garage, and Planning Permission exists for the construction of a double garage with loft room over. Permission also exists for a first floor extension to the cottage. To the far end of the garden is a productive vegetable section. The plot in total extends to approaching 0.5 acre.
