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

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 high-specification 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 navy blue 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 navy blue panelling, mirroring the shaker units in the kitchen.
