Camp Road, Ross-on-Wye

The Shrubbery
This elegant three-bedroom detached Victorian villa nestles on the eastern fringe of Ross on-Wye, a picturesque market town. Throughout the home, there are many classically beautiful period features such as shuttered windows, high ceilings, chic column radiators and original wooden floorboards. The bright and airy property also boasts a detached garage-cum-workshop which is insulated and boasts a power supply, plus a low maintenance garden.



Location
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 approximately a five-minute walk from The Shrubbery, features an assortment of shops, independently owned boutiques, a range of restaurants, welcoming pubs, various leisure facilities, and 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.
The town is within easy reach of major road networks; the A40 is around half a mile away 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, and this gives 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
Chase Woods, an Iron Age hillfort, serves as an impressive backdrop to this spacious home. There are two entrances into the residence; each one leads into a generously sized boot room.
The ground floor offers ample space for entertaining or for families to spend quality time together. Of the reception rooms, the largest is the sitting room and this carries picture rails and an inset fireplace with a wood-burning stove - a staple of country life.
The dining room is a beautifully bright expanse with plenty of natural light cascading in via two large windows. The space flows around a chimney breast into the handsome dining kitchen which boasts dark-blue shaker units, complemented by wooden worktops and copper-coloured handles - a detail echoed by the mixer tap over the sink as well as the built-in oven. In terms of practicalities, there is an induction hob, an angled extractor fan, integrated dishwasher and a large breakfast bar, providing an informal dining space.
The Shrubbery also presents a layout which may be ideal for those who work from home as there are two offices which neighbour one another. Each space carries pitched ceilings, tiled floors and windows with views of Chase Woods.
On this level of the property, there is also a shower room and a separate utility room, with a large amount of additional storage space, space and plumbing for a washing machine and a tumble dryer. This room also includes a glass panel within the floor making a feature of the original stairs to the basement. This basement - with two rooms - could serve as games rooms, studies or storage spaces.
The top floor accommodates three double bedrooms, all of which feature former inset fireplaces - complete with original decorative tiling - and these present charming focal points. The master also features built-in wardrobes, which stretch across one side of the room.
The family bathroom includes a clawfoot bath, with a rain shower overhead as well as a handheld shower attachment. There is also a WC, a vanity unit and heated towel rail.
Outside, a path winds around the garden, and there is a large flower bed plus a gravel bed. An oak-framed pergola stands over a raised terrace outside one of the main entrances and this presents a fantastic spot for an outdoor lounge or alfresco dining area.
In terms of parking, there is a driveway fronting onto Camp Road plus a gated parking area which is accessible from Alton Avenue. The tandem garage gives enough space to store two cars with plenty of wiggle room and has an electric door.
