DESCRIPTION An impressive and flexible detached house in an elevated and sought after semi-rural setting.
This period property offers flexible living accommodation, which could easily provide for a family home along with the possibility of additional holiday home income. Set comfortably within its gardens and grounds, in well-presented condition and offering period features and charm.

The property in brief:

Nestled into the famous hills of Symonds Yat, River View sits above a meeting point of the stunning counties of Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, and Monmouthshire, all viewable from the master bedroom. The established and characterful garden can also be enjoyed from a south-west facing feature balcony.

With easy links to the much-desired towns of Monmouth, Ross-on-Wye and Coleford, stand-out schools are within easy reach, as well as varied local shops and a range of family activities.

Entrance to the home is offered through two access doors from the driveway, one sporting a useful utility/ porch area. The welcoming farmhouse kitchen is bathed with natural light and boasts charming pine shaker style units with integrated appliances, an electric range cooker, modern acrylic worktop, a full-size pantry cupboard and LED downlights situated amongst the feature beams.

Further original beams and a feature fireplace with wood burner greet you as you take in the spacious living room, and with the sun streaming through sliding French doors and leading out on the decked balcony, the room is the perfect space for relaxing and entertaining all year-round.
Hall stairs lead up to the master bedroom, being a generous size and featuring en-suite with shower. Another double bedroom enjoys built-in wardrobes, and bedroom 5, with room for bunk beds or home office equipment, enjoys two windows taking in the views as well as a double-sized built-in wardrobe. There's plenty of storage around the property, with a boarded loft and airing cupboard located on the landing. The modern family bathroom enjoys a feature corner bath and walk-in shower with infinity shower head.

Income opportunity

Stairs discretely hidden behind a door in the living room lead to the lower level of this hillside retreat. Here lie two further double rooms which are currently used as part of the family home but have in the past provided their own lucrative income as self-contained B&B accommodation. These two en-suite double rooms can also be accessed directly through a door onto the rear garden.

With key locations for the banks of the River Wye and Symonds Yat Rock viewpoints a short walk from the home,

The garden also features a log store, flower beds and fruit trees. A wide gravel driveway to the front of the home easily takes 4 or 5 cars with plenty of room for manoeuvring. The area also has a bin store, a large secure shed, and a good-sized workshop, that could be utilised as a garage.
