2 bedroom detached house for sale

Set in a peaceful semi-rural location on the outskirts of Ross-on-Wye, this beautifully presented detached cottage sits at the heart of its generous quarter-acre plot, surrounded by wrap-around gardens and open countryside views. Offering charm, privacy and flexibility, the property also benefits from approved planning permission to create a substantial third bedroom above the kitchen, providing a clear and practical solution to extend the accommodation and add long-term value without the uncertainty of the planning process.

The consent allows for the creation of a spacious principal bedroom at first-floor level, transforming the home into a comfortable three-bedroom property while retaining the character and proportions of the existing rooms. This makes the cottage particularly appealing to buyers seeking a home they can enjoy immediately, with clear scope to adapt for future needs.

The accommodation opens via a welcoming porch into a central hallway, creating a natural flow through the home. The sitting room is a warm and characterful space, featuring exposed ceiling beams, wooden flooring and a striking stone fireplace with wood-burning stove, forming a cosy focal point for relaxed evenings. Multiple windows allow natural light to fill the room throughout the day.

The kitchen/dining room is bright, well-designed and sociable, fitted with an attractive range of shaker-style units topped with solid wood work surfaces. Two side aspect windows and a full wall of rear French doors flood the space with light and provide a seamless connection to the garden. There is ample space for dining and everyday living, making this the heart of the home.

Completing the ground floor is a stylish bathroom, fitted with a panelled bath and overhead shower, wash basin and WC, finished in neutral tones with a side aspect window providing natural light.

To the first floor, a bright landing enjoys far-reaching countryside views and leads to two charming bedrooms. Both rooms are full of character, with exposed beams and sloping ceilings, offering flexible use as guest bedrooms, children’s rooms or home office space. The approved planning above the kitchen allows these rooms to be retained while creating a new, generous principal bedroom.

Outside, the cottage is surrounded by mature, well-established gardens extending to approximately a quarter of an acre. The grounds offer a high degree of privacy, with a variety of shrubs and trees providing year-round interest. To the front and side, there is extensive off-road parking for several vehicles, and planning permission is also in place for the addition of a garage, should a future owner wish.

Situated within easy reach of Ross-on-Wye and the wider Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property combines rural tranquillity with convenient access to local amenities, countryside walks and transport links.
