Location
Sussex Avenue is one of Ross-on-Wye's most desirable addresses, adjoining the community green space of Dean Hill Park and lying close to a conservation area renowned for its historical significance, architectural heritage and natural beauty.
Often regarded as the birthplace of British tourism, Ross-on-Wye is celebrated for its scenic setting and vibrant community. The town centre offers an excellent range of amenities, including shops, supermarkets, independent boutiques, restaurants, traditional pubs, well-regarded schools and a variety of leisure facilities.
Healthcare provision is equally convenient, with two GP surgeries and the local community hospital all located just a few hundred metres from the property. The area also boasts an abundance of beautiful walks through woodland, countryside and along the River Wye. Popular routes include the Town and Country Trail, Chase Woods, the John Kyrle Circular Walk and The Rope Walk, a pleasant level path that follows the riverbank.
Ross-on-Wye is well connected to the wider region. The A40, approximately 1.5 miles away via Walford Road, provides direct links eastwards to Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds, while westbound routes lead towards Newport and the M4, offering access to Cardiff and London. The M50 motorway, around two miles from the property, connects conveniently with the M5, making travel throughout the Midlands and South West readily accessible.




The Home at a Glance
Set along a no-through road behind mature hedging, Dunkeld enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy. The front garden creates a captivating first impression, with a level lawn framed by well-stocked borders that provide colour and interest throughout the seasons.
The main entrance opens into a dual-aspect enclosed porch, offering a practical vestibule for shedding coats and shoes before stepping into the home. Beyond lies an elegant reception hall that immediately sets the tone for the accommodation. High ceilings enhance the sense of space and grandeur, while picture rails and the original staircase, complete with a wooden balustrade, provide striking period detail.
The ground floor offers four reception rooms. Flanking the entrance are two attractive principal rooms. One serves as a sitting room, featuring a bay window and a fireplace with Art Deco-inspired decorative tiling. Opposite, another reception room centres around a chimney breast with scope for a fireplace, while fitted bookshelves occupy the alcoves. Picture rails and sash windows further enhance the home's character.
Two additional reception rooms provide excellent versatility. A study overlooks the rear garden and benefits from a glazed door opening outside. The fourth room carries two sash windows, and it would make an ideal dining room thanks to its proximity to the kitchen.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units and includes a Neff fan-assisted oven, gas hob, one-and-a-half bowl sink with mixer tap, and space for an undercounter fridge. A door leads through to a generously proportioned utility/preparation kitchen, which offers further cabinetry, provision for a washing machine and dishwasher and space for a fridge/freezer. The Worcester boiler is also housed in this area of the home. From here, a boot room provides access to the garden.
The first floor accommodates three double bedrooms, each fitted with wardrobes and additional storage, and offering space for a freestanding dressing table or desk. The principal bedroom, positioned above the main sitting room, enjoys particularly generous proportions and a bay window that fills the room with natural light.
The bathroom facilities are arranged across two separate rooms: one contains a bath with overhead shower and pedestal basin, while the other houses the WC, offering scope for reconfiguration if desired.
Outside, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and framed by well-stocked flower beds, including a well-established Bramley apple tree. A gate provides direct access to a bridleway, ideal for walking and enjoying the surrounding countryside. Additionally, there is a greenhouse, which may be available by negotiation.
Parking is provided by an attached single garage and a private driveway.
