Set in a highly sought-after village, this four-bedroom home carries the added attraction of access to a private large meadow, which in turn leads to woodland walks.

Location:

The welcoming village of Walford is immensely desirable, not least for its excellent nursery and primary school, which was awarded an Outstanding rating at its most recent Ofsted inspection in summer 2024. The village also offers a wonderful community, with the family-run Mill Race restaurant enjoying an excellent reputation, as well as a village hall and an adjoining recreation ground.

Walford is situated approximately two miles south of Ross-on-Wye, a picturesque market town celebrated as the birthplace of British tourism for its spectacular scenery. Perched upon red sandstone cliffs overlooking the glorious River Wye, Ross-on-Wye offers an appealing blend of everyday amenities and independent character, with an assortment of shops and boutiques, restaurants, welcoming pubs and leisure facilities. The town also provides easy access to an extensive network of countryside and riverside walks.

For a broader range of amenities, the market town of Monmouth and cathedral city of Hereford are both within easy reach, offering further shopping, leisure and cultural facilities, together with a choice of private schooling.

The Home at a Glance:

Green Colley Grove is a private road, tucked away on the southern edge of Walford. The residents of this small cul-de-sac jointly own a communal meadow, which the rear garden of number 9 opens directly onto, providing a stellar connection to the enveloping countryside.

The main entrance is sheltered beneath an enclosed porch, which leads into a welcoming reception hall. On the left-hand side, a door opens into the dual-aspect dining kitchen, fitted by Cotswold Kitchens. It boasts quality wooden Shaker-style cabinetry, complemented by oak worktops - with matching oak window sills affording a nice sense of continuity. A granite-topped portable island provides additional food preparation space and incorporates a pull-out bin store plus vegetable baskets. Appliances include a Rangemaster electric cooker with a five-ring gas hob and concealed extractor, an integrated Siemens dishwasher, a freestanding Miele fridge/freezer and a traditional Belfast sink.

A door on the opposite side of the reception hall leads into the generous 20ft sitting room, where a gas stove provides an attractive focal point. At the far end, glazed double doors open into the conservatory, which in turn leads out to the rear garden.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is a cloakroom, which also houses a freestanding Miele washing machine.

The staircase, incorporating useful understairs storage, rises to a galleried landing, where a Velux window allows natural light to cascade in. There are four bedrooms on this floor, including the master suite, which overlooks the front garden, set beneath a backdrop of the surrounding countryside. Goodrich Castle can also be glimpsed at certain times of the year. The bedroom benefits from a fitted corner wardrobe, providing ample hanging and shelving space, together with a full-height mirrored door. An adjoining shower room is fitted with a three-piece suite and heated towel rail.

Of the remaining bedrooms, two are comfortably proportioned doubles. One of these is positioned above the garage and features a partially vaulted ceiling plus two dormer windows at opposing ends, allowing plenty of natural light to pour into the room. The fourth bedroom has a characterful pitched ceiling and dormer window. It would lend itself particularly well to use as a single bedroom, nursery or home study. These rooms are served by the family bathroom, which comprises a three-piece suite with a shower over the bath.

Outside, parking is well catered for with a driveway and an adjoining garage, equipped with an electric roller door, lighting and power. The low-maintenance rear garden has been arranged with a two-tiered terraced patio providing areas for outdoor dining and lounging. There is also a raised herb bed and a flower border, where vibrant roses and an established clematis add a delightful display of colour. A garden shed provides useful storage for tools and equipment. A particularly appealing feature is the garden's direct opening onto the captivating communal meadow, which provides a glorious extension to the outdoor space, with a wonderful sense of openness and a lovely rural aspect.
