A Most Attractive Three Storey Victorian Property with Stunning Open Plan Living Accommodation, Gardens, Separate Garden Room/Studio and Parking within Easy Walking Distance of Ross Town Centre. EPC E

Location & Description

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.

A most attractive three storey, south facing Victorian property positioned in the well regarded and interesting Archenfield Road, Blenheim House provides generous and well proportioned accommodation, filled with attractive period features, with gardens to both the front and rear and a terrace to the side, a separate studio/office together with off road parking for several vehicles.
Constructed in approx 1910 from attractive red brick under a slate roof, the property benefits from high ceilings, sash windows and period fireplaces. Having been renovated over the years the ground floor accommodation now offers a stunning open plan kitchen/living room with a bespoke fitted Shaker style kitchen with large windows and Velux windows making this a light a bright working space. This connects to the living/dining room with a feature fireplace and inset wood burning stove which in turn continues to the conservatory with windows to two elevations and double opening doors opening directly on to the adjacent sun terrace. This fabulous space provides a wonderful family/entertaining area which has been finished to a very high standard. Accessed from the kitchen is a most useful utility area together with a cloaks and w.c.
To the front of the house are two further reception rooms, both with wooden flooring and period fireplaces. One room is currently used as an office/study, whilst the other with bay window overlooking the front garden is a wonderfully light and appealing living room. Stairs lead from the entrance hall to a versatile study/music room formerly a cellar now fitted with downlighters, power points and radiator.
To the first floor are three well proportioned bedrooms with sash windows and wooden shutters. Here one also finds a family bathroom and w.c. Stairs then lead to the second floor where the 20' fourth bedroom has windows to the front elevation together with Velux windows making this a bright and exceptionally interesting room.
The front garden is accessed via a pedestrian gate and is an exceptionally tranquil and private space complete with pond, lawn and flower beds brimming with a range of shrubs and trees. A wooden gate then opens through to the paved sun terrace with an arbor covered with a vine, creating a delightful area in which to sit and enjoy the peace and tranquility. From here steps lead to a further sun terrace and the private rear lawned garden. At the far corner one finds the garden room/studio with double opening doors. This useful addition has power and offers scope either to be a further working from home office, a studio or a perfect den for teenagers! A further pedestrian gate then opens to the rear access lane where there is parking for several vehicles.
