The picturesque riverside market settlement of Ross-on-Wye is the only English town standing within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Formerly a centre for leather working, shoe making, brewing, corn milling and glove making, Ross became a very busy Coaching town in the 18th and 19th Centuries. When viewed from either of the river bridges, the white painted façade of The Royal Hotel stands adjacent to the fine, 206 feet steeple of St Marys Church. With a population of around 10,000, Ross remains a bustling town and the summer months in particular see many visitors coming to canoe, fish, cycle or alternatively enjoy more leisurely pursuits involving food and drink, perhaps downing a refreshing cider from one of the many local artisan cider makers. Description
West Kilreague House occupies an elevated position in the hamlet of Kilreague, on the rural outskirts of the village of Llangarron, some 7 miles south west of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye, and approx. 6 miles north of the historic town of Monmouth.  Like many of the period farmhouses in the area, West Kilreague has undergone many changes of ownership including London Guys Hospital, with the current owners living here for almost 30 years. With parts of the house dating back to 1580, it is understood that what one now sees, was previously the service wing of the former Elizabethan H shaped house, with the majestic stone tower located in the garden being the water tower and dovecote.  The south facing, attractive stone built farmhouse, is filled with immense character, with much evidence of exposed timbers and stonework, together with a fine fireplace in the drawing room. As with most period properties, West Kilreague House has evolved over the years to meet the owners needs, and almost certainly a future owner will look to make further adaptations.  The ground floor accommodation is generous and welcoming, strewn with attractive features. The entrance hall leads through to the drawing room filled with light from the large sash windows to two elevations which give an outlook across the gardens. The dining room leads to the kitchen and utility area, which connects to the ground floor self contained annexe. The stairs lead to the first floor where there are three bedrooms and a study, again all giving views across the garden and paddocks whilst to the second floor, the current owners have a dressing room, shower room and w.c. and study, however this space has the ability to become additional bedrooms or a fabulous playroom for a young family! A sweeping gravelled driveway is flanked by paddocks to both sides and terminates in a courtyard which gives plenty of space for parking and manoeuvring vehicles. A pedestrian gate leads to extensive gardens fringed with a variety of mature shrub filled beds and trees, including some wonderful box topiary! Within the gardens is the stone built water tower and dovecote, making an exceptionally striking feature. The ground and gardens extend to approaching 1.25 acres in total.  From the moment one approaches, there is a sense of peace and tranquillity, combined with views across the rolling Herefordshire countryside beyond. For those looking for a stunning period house with an abundance of character features, together with a self contained one bedroom annexe and paddocks, then we strongly recommend an early internal viewing.   ACCOMMODATION: Entrance Hall  A welcoming entrance hall with an abundance of period features including exposed timbers.
