Land For Sale £220,000
Overview
A prime, south facing, single building plot occupying a peaceful rural location just over 2 miles west of Ross-on-Wye. The plot commands a beautiful, unspoilt outlook across the valley
of the Wells Brook. The consent is for the erection of a single detached dormer bungalow on a generous plot of approx. Quarter of an acre.
Location & description
The plot lies on the extreme westerly outskirts of the dispersed village of Bridstow and just over half a mile north east of the well served village of Peterstow. The market town of Ross-on-Wye is some 3 miles to the east, as are the connections to the M50 motorway and A40 dual carriageway, thus enabling fast communication to the motorway network. The plot has a glorious, south facing outlook over the pretty valley of the Wells Brook and, for most of the year, one can barely see any other permanent building. The plot is one of the finest that we have seen in recent times.
Village amenities
Although technically within Bridstow, the village of Peterstow is closer to the site. The village of Peterstow offers a range of amenities including local shop, post office and off licence, church/village hall, two excellent pubs, the Yew Tree and Red Lion and a regular bus service to both Ross and Hereford. The village of Bridstow has a beautiful ancient church, primary school and village hall. Bridstow is also well served by the same, regular bus service.
