It is worth noting that the latter also gives private schooling options.

In addition, the M50 motorway begins in Ross-on-Wye, around eight miles away, which gives good access to the M5.

The Home at a Glance Kernwood is discreetly positioned behind double gates, with a driveway leading to the front of the property.

The main entrance opens into an enclosed porch, providing a practical vestibule for coats and shoes before entering the home.

A tiled floor continues through to the inner front door, complete with antique ironmongery. This leads into the heart of the home, currently used as a formal dining room.

A timbered vaulted ceiling enhances the sense of scale and grandeur, creating an immediate impression.

A brick fireplace houses a wood-burning stove, a quintessential feature of country living, while the room also provides access to three further reception spaces: a triple-aspect conservatory, an inviting snug, and a sitting room.

The sitting room features a log-burning stove set within a richly coloured red sandstone fireplace, a richly coloured rock that is synonymous with the local area.

A door at the far end of the sitting room leads into a dual-aspect study, fitted with extensive bookshelves and direct fibre broadband connectivity.

The kitchen, also accessible from the dining room, is fitted with Shaker-style units and granite worktops.

Appliances include a 1½ bowl sink with pull-out mixer tap, Neff ceramic hob with overhead extractor, Neff double oven, and an integrated Neff dishwasher.

There is ample space for a dining table and chairs, while tiled flooring continues through to a utility room with housing for an American-style fridge-freezer and matching cabinetry.

From here, a door leads to a laundry room with provision for a washing machine, alongside a separate shower room fitted with a three-piece suite.

From the dining room, a staircase leads up to a galleried landing. This level of the home accommodates four characterful bedrooms.

Of these, the principal suite features a timbered ceiling, mullion windows and fitted wardrobes with mirrored doors wrapping around one corner of the room, alongside a stylish adjoining ensuite shower room.

Fully tiled, the ensuite is fitted with a wall-hung WC, walk-in dual-headed shower, countertop vanity unit, illuminated mirror, and heated towel rail.

Two of the remaining bedrooms on this level are generous doubles, both of which carry mullion windows and pitched timbered ceilings.

The single bedroom benefits from a vaulted ceiling that enhances the sense of space.

The family bathroom is appointed with a four-piece suite comprising a bath with a shower attachment, a separate shower cubicle, a pedestal basin, a WC, and an illuminated mirror.

The staircase to the top floor rises from the galleried landing and leads to a fifth double bedroom, which is currently utilised as an additional study.

Featuring a timbered and vaulted ceiling, the room is flooded with natural light from both a Velux window and a mullion window.

Outside, the gardens wrap around both sides of the house and extend to just under half an acre.

Various sun terraces are positioned throughout the grounds, allowing sunlight or shade to be enjoyed at different times of day.

Immediately in front of the house is a crazy-paved patio, while adjacent to the conservatory a timber deck provides an ideal setting for outdoor seating and entertaining.

To the rear, steps rise to an upper terrace featuring a children's play area, greenhouse, and a storage shed. Parking is exceptionally well catered for.

In addition to the generously sized gated driveway, which offers ample space for multiple vehicles, there is an attached single garage.
