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 fa ade 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.

Probably constructed in the 1950s, the bungalow offers appealing two bedroom accommodation and stands within a particularly secluded plot, high hedging, greenery and or fencing lending to the property an ambience of privacy and seclusion.

The well positioned nearby dining room has a cosy wood burning stove, and this room leads through to the 14 kitchen with its host of fitted cupboards and a wide window to the sunny southwest. Adjacent is the small conservatory rear porch. The two double bedrooms are positioned to the front of the property, whilst the bathroom and w.c. occupy a central location.

Behind the garage is a small wooden garden shed, whilst nearby is the excellent paved sun terrace, direct access additionally being obtained either through French doors from the living room, or the glazed door from the rear porch conservatory.
