Overview
School House occupies a peaceful, valley side location close to the River Wye in the dispersed hamlet of Hole-in-the-Wall, approx. 4 miles north of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye and some 14 miles south east of the cathedral city of Hereford. Ledbury, with its railway station, lies some 14 miles to the north east, whilst the M50 motorway/A40 dual carriageway network may be accessed within 10 minutes drive at the Travellers Rest Roundabout.
The Victorian Education Act of 1870 required that all children between 5 and 10 years of age had to attend school, and we believe that the school house operated from circa 1872 to 1952. After closure, the adventure company PGL purchased many properties in the area for their outdoor activities business. PGL subsequently sold all their buildings in this location, the current owners purchasing the property from the company in 2014. Since acquisition, the current owners have transformed both the accommodation and gardens. Behind the property is a well placed 15' carport, 17' workshop, and 32' polytunnel.
One of the joys of the property is the fact that it receives available sunlight for the greater part of the day.
The atmospheric 29' former school room imbues immense character on the property, whilst to the south easterly side of the property is a superb 19' kitchen/breakfast room. The ground floor has as series of additional rooms, whilst to the first floor are the three excellent bedrooms and a bathroom and w.c. Bespoke leadlight panels have been crafted for the ground floor doors and the lounge window, enhancing the Victorian heritage of this home.
Outside, the lawned gardens are a joy to behold, with a wide range of shrubs and trees, whilst Wisteria drapes over part of the stonework to the front of the kitchen/breakfast room.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
