Location & Description

Situated in a wonderfully elevated position high above the River Wye, Rockland House is approx. 0.5 mile from riverside village of Hoarwithy with the well regarded New Harp Inn and the impressive Italiante style St Catherines Church. The village is some 6 miles north west of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye, whilst the county town and City of Hereford lies some 8 miles to the north. Despite its wonderfully rural location it is easily accessible of the M50 and A40 road network and a short distance from the train station at Hereford.

Built in approx. 2000 the property is of brick construction under a pitched tiled roof. The original dwelling has been altered and extended by the current owners, resulting in a generous living room with large windows giving breathtaking far reaching views across the Wye Valley and beyond, an attractive timber framed dining/entertaining room and the addition of a classic, attractively tiled veranda, where one can simply sit for hours enjoying the stunning sunrises and clear star studded skies.

The entrance hall leads through into the 24' living room with patio doors giving access directly onto the balustraded veranda. From here the room opens into the most attractive Oak framed dining/entertaining room which again gives views across the garden and the valley below. Accessed either from the living room or directly from the entrance hall is the kitchen/breakfast room with range of fitted units and integrated appliances. Adjacent is a most useful utility room with plumbing and space for both washing machine and dryer, together with a separate cloaks and w.c.

Stairs lead to the first floor, where there is an exceptionally spacious galleried landing. The master bedroom provides stunning views from the large window, and also benefits from a well appointed en suite shower room and w.c. There are two further double bedrooms, and a family bathroom, together with a smaller bedroom, ideal as a study/office.

Approached via the driveway is a generous parking area with space for several vehicles. From here steps lead up to the house and gardens, whilst adjacent is a former garage/workshop which now provides versatile space, currently being used as a store room and a music studio. Both spaces have power and lighting and windows to the front elevation. The boiler for the house is located in the music studio. The gardens extend to all sides, and are accessed either directly from the drive via steps, or from the veranda at the front of the house. A number of terraces have been added to the garden, creating some generous, flat, seating/entertaining areas, which together with the attractive east facing veranda are ideal spots for alfresco dining.
