This appealing barn conversion in peaceful Pontshill offers genuine character combined with outstanding potential, positioned just over 3 miles from the market town of Ross-on-Wye.
Thoughtfully converted around 20 years ago, this distinctive property is one of only a select few homes in this quiet rural setting. While retaining its authentic agricultural charm and being highly liveable, there's also clear scope for buyers to add their own touches and create something truly special.
The heart of the home is a notably spacious reception room where exposed wooden beams and an impressive stone fireplace immediately catch the eye. This generous space offers real versatility - whether you need formal dining, relaxed family living, or a combination of both, the room adapts beautifully to different configurations and lifestyles.
The kitchen/breakfast room provides a solid foundation for family life, with the added convenience of a separate utility room and ground-floor WC. While functional as it stands, there's obvious potential here for those who enjoy putting their own stamp on a property.
Three genuine double bedrooms upstairs include a principal bedroom with ensuite, plus a separate shower room. The bonus attic room adds valuable extra space - perfect as an accessible storage space. The current owner has used it as an occasional bedroom for sleepovers.
Another standout feature is the sizeable walled garden that wraps around the home, offering exceptional privacy that's increasingly hard to find. This mature outdoor space provides genuine seclusion and numerous possibilities, from entertaining areas to productive kitchen gardens. Gated parking adds practical convenience.
Pontshill combines rural tranquility with surprisingly good connectivity. The nearby A40 provides efficient links to Monmouth and Gloucester, while rail connections from Ledbury, Gloucester, and Hereford offer direct routes to London Paddington in under 2.5 hours - ideal for flexible working arrangements.
The location within the Wye Valley area of outstanding natural beauty brings countryside walks and outdoor pursuits to your doorstep, yet you're never far from amenities when needed.
With approved planning permission already secured for a single-storey extension (P222925/FH), this property offers immediate potential for expansion, making it particularly attractive for buyers seeking a project with clear development scope.
This property offers the increasingly rare combination of character, privacy, convenience, and potential. It has the space to create something truly individual in an enviable rural setting.
