Ross-on-Wye, Small Cul-de-Sac, Great Value Eco Home, HR9 6AE

This newly constructed eco-home has been finished to exacting standards and boasts an open-plan dining kitchen, a separate sitting room, four double bedrooms, an integral garage and a south-facing garden.

The detached, well-proportioned house is set on the fringes of a popular market town and is a short walk from a wealth of amenities and an array of country walks.

Location Wye Close straddles the western fringes of Ross-on-Wye, a picturesque market town which is famed for being the birthplace of British tourism due to its spectacular scenery; the town is perched on red sandstone cliffs which overlook the River Wye.

The town centre, which is within walking distance, features an assortment of shops, independently owned boutiques, a range of restaurants, welcoming pubs, various leisure facilities, plus a network of countryside and riverside walks.

Closer to home, there are various amenities, including Orles Barn - a restaurant with an extremely good reputation - a convenience store, a riverside pub, and Bridstow Church of England Primary School, which carries a 'Good' grade from Ofsted.

The town is within easy reach of major road networks; the A40 is nearby and the east-bound road provides a direct route to Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds.

Meanwhile, motorists heading in the opposite direction can journey towards the M4 at Newport, giving access to Cardiff and London.

In addition, the M50 motorway begins in Ross-on-Wye, and this gives good access to the M5 - leading to Birmingham to the north and Bristol to the south.

It is also worth noting that Birmingham City Airport, Bristol Airport and Cardiff Airport are each approximately one hour away by car.

The home at a glance The main entrance into this immaculately-presented home is sheltered beneath a canopied porch and leads into a chic reception hall; an attractive tiled floor flows through into an open-plan dining kitchen - an elegant expanse which includes grey shaker-style units with muted gold handles and granite worktops.

A breakfast bar acts as a natural divide between the cooking and dining zones and, within this, there is an induction hob with a built-in extractor, ensuring that no natural light is lost.

The kitchen also features a deep sink with a muted gold mixer tap and a variety of integrated appliances, including a Bosch fan oven, a wine cooler, an AEG dishwasher and a Zanussi fridge/freezer.

A set of bifold doors lead out to the low-maintenance rear garden which features an Indian sandstone patio, a level lawn and a shed in the far corner.

The kitchen also gives access to a utility room, which has matching shaker units and worktops, additional storage and another sink with a mixer tap, plus a Hotpoint washing machine and a Hotpoint tumble dryer.

Glass-paned sliding doors link the live-in kitchen with the sitting room, which carries a wooden floor and a window overlooking the front garden.

The ground floor also includes a cloakroom plus under-stair storage.

The staircase within the reception hall is framed by on-trend half-height grey panelling, mirroring the shaker units in the kitchen. This leads to a landing which gives access to the four bedrooms.

The master suite overlooks the rear garden and contains a dressing room, complete with plenty of built-in shelving and hanging space.

There is also a fully-tiled en-suite shower room, consisting of a walk-in shower with both drench and handheld showers, plus a corner basin and a WC.

Of the other three bedrooms, all are large enough to accommodate double beds and one of these also offers a built-in wardrobe.
