Peterstow, Ross-on-Wye

2 Strawberry Fields

This generously proportioned home is tucked away in a well-appointed south Herefordshire village, in a spot bordered by apple orchards. The four-bedroom property - over 2,500 square feet in size - also has three reception rooms and a beautifully bright kitchen. The grounds measure one-quarter of an acre and give ample scope to cultivate fresh produce, while an array of solar panels on the roof further afford a move towards self-sustainability.

Location
The village of Peterstow is enveloped by the picturesque countryside and boasts excellent amenities. Peterstow Village Stores & Post Office is just around the corner from 2 Strawberry Fields, while the Yew Tree Inn, an award-winning cider production company, is also a short walk from the property. This popular taproom also stocks superb real ales, craft beer, wines and spirits.
There is another country pub, The Red Lion Inn, in the neighbouring hamlet of Winters Cross, which consistently attains rave reviews online for its friendly atmosphere and home-cooked meals. Around 1.5 miles away, there is an esteemed Farm Shop and Butchery, Pengethley Farm Shop, situated on the same site as a Pengethley Garden Centre, which also affords a tearoom. The nearest primary school is situated in the nearby village of Bridstow, just over one mile away, which secured a 'Good' Ofsted grading during its most recent inspection in 2022.

The nearest town, Ross-on-Wye, is around two miles away, and the setting 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 high street gives a wealth of amenities, including a diverse range of shops, supermarkets, independently owned boutiques, restaurants, pubs, leisure facilities and healthcare services which include two GP surgeries and a community hospital.
2 Strawberry Fields also had good access to major road networks. The A49 - which runs between Ross and Hereford - is a stone's throw away, and there is a bus stop giving convenient access to both towns. The A40 and M50, both accessible from Ross-on-Wye, both take around five minutes to drive to.

The Home at a Glance
As its name suggests, this substantial detached home occupies the site of a former strawberry farm - a heritage that hints at the rich, productive soil still present today. This fertile ground can be enjoyed through the property's kitchen garden, offering excellent potential for growing fruit, vegetables, and herbs.

The main entrance opens into a triple-aspect enclosed porch with a tiled floor, creating a practical vestibule - ideal for removing boots and shoes after spending time exploring the surrounding countryside.
From here, the house opens into an airy entrance hall that forms the central flow of the ground floor. This level features three reception rooms, offering flexible living spaces suited to both everyday family life and entertaining. The largest is an impressive triple-aspect sitting room, centred around a wood-burning stove - a comforting staple of rural living - set within a characterful brick fireplace that also incorporates a recess for log storage. Aluminium-framed French doors open from this room onto the rear garden, allowing natural light to cascade into the space.

Of the remaining reception rooms, one is arranged as a formal dining room, ideal for hosting family meals and entertaining, while the other serves as a study, providing a quiet and well-proportioned space for home working. The study benefits from fitted bookshelves that wrap neatly around one corner of the room.

The light and bright kitchen is appointed with high-quality Maia worktops and a range of integrated appliances, including a Neff double oven with warming drawer, a Neff induction hob and a Hotpoint extractor fan. A ceramic sink with a mixer tap is positioned beneath a window overlooking the attractive rear garden. At the far end of the room, a door leads to the utility room, which provides space and plumbing for a washing machine, dishwasher and tumble dryer, along with additional storage and a further sink with a pull-out swivel tap.

A staircase rises from the entrance hall and wraps around to a galleried landing - an area large enough to serve as a further space for home working or reading. There are four double bedrooms on this level, each featuring dormer windows that provide elevated views across the village and surrounding countryside. All bedrooms also benefit from built-in storage.
The principal suite is particularly light-filled and spacious. The dual-aspect bedroom extends to approximately 22 feet, while the accompanying en suite bathroom is finished with bamboo flooring and fitted with a walk-in shower, heated towel rail, WC and a countertop vanity unit. The remaining bedrooms are served by the first-floor family bathroom, which also features bamboo flooring and includes a D-shaped bath with an electric shower over, a WC, a countertop vanity unit and a heated towel rail. In addition, there is a further washroom on the ground floor in the form of a cloakroom, conveniently located off the entrance hall.

Outside, the front and rear gardens are predominantly laid to lawn but have been thoughtfully designed to grant an idyllic rural escape. The front garden has been planted with wildflower seeds, with daffodil and snowdrops bordering the space, giving annual indicators at the dawn of spring. The front garden also carries a well established fig tree and a fruit cage.

The rear garden features a level lawn alongside a generous patio terrace that runs the length of the house, creating an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining. A substantial section of the terrace is sheltered by a veranda, providing welcome shade during warmer months and protection during passing showers - ensuring the space can be enjoyed throughout the British summer.
A pergola arch leads through to the kitchen garden, tucked neatly into the far corner of the plot. This productive area has a greenhouse, raised planting beds and a small fruit cage. In terms of parking arrangements, there is an integral double garage which is complete with fitted storage, plus light and power, granting provision for additional appliances such as a chest freezer or a tumble dryer. There is also a paved driveway with space for two vehicles.
