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

Positioned in one of the most sought after locations, The Birches is located mid way along the tree lined Avenue meaning it is perfectly positioned for both easy access to all of the facilities offered by the market town of Ross-on-Wye, as well as wonderful walks in nearby Chase Woods.
Constructed by the well regarded, local developer John Darlington, the property is of brick construction under a tiled roof with a feature, pillar style entrance. Internally the accommodation is exceptionally spacious, with a 23' living room with attractive stone fireplace with inset stove. This room is flooded with natural light from the large window to the front elevation, together with the French doors which open on to the sun terrace beyond. There are two further reception rooms together with a spacious, well appointed kitchen with an attractive blue Aga, and a newly laid laminate wood effect floor. From the kitchen there is direct access into the double garage, as well as a shower room and w.c.
To the first floor are three bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes together with two bathrooms. Much of the accommodation benefits from the recent addition of new carpets.
Double gates give access from The Avenue to the generous tarmac driveway with ample parking for numerous vehicles. Here the garden is laid to lawn with a range of shrubs. Access to the rear garden is via a side pedestrian gate. The rear gardens are again laid mainly to lawn with a Wisteria clad pergola providing most welcome shade on the sun terrace. Adjacent to the path is a border planted with a range of shrubs.
For communication links and schools, The Birches is within walking distance of schools, and within a few minutes drive of the A40 dual carriageway and M50.
For those looking for a generous home, in a highly desirable location we strongly recommend an early viewing.
