House For Sale £1,650,000
Pencraig Court is a most impressive 18th century Grade II listed country home, nestled in a hamlet just off the A40 between the charming market towns of Ross on Wye and Monmouth. From it's elevated position the property commands stunning views across the River Wye and surrounding countryside. Pencraig Court was formerly a hotel, restaurant, wedding venue and even used as a school during the war and is currently a family home offering substantial proportions.
Ross on Wye well known as the gateway to the Wye Valley', is a market town overlooking the famous horseshoe bend in the River Wye. The town has a variety of most attractive period buildings with a good range of shopping, sporting and cultural amenities. There are three primary schools and a well-regarded comprehensive school. Ross is conveniently positioned for commuting with excellent road links and being located midway between the cathedral cities of Hereford and Gloucester and within about hours drive of Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff and Cheltenham. Monmouth is an old county town at the confluence of the rivers Wye and Monnow. The surroundings are essentially rural and agricultural with glorious countryside. The town has comprehensive facilities to satisfy most requirements and is well known for its private schools, The Haberdashers' Schools for Boys and Girls, and the local comprehensive school has a very good reputation.
The entrance porch has two pairs of fluted columns and leads through to a most welcoming 35' Reception Hall, which features an open well staircase with cast-iron balustrades and mahogany hand rail. Leading off the hallway are the fine receptions rooms, with 11'6 high ceilings and sash windows. The Dining Room found at the front has a cast iron fireplace with tiled inserts and marble surround and opens, courtesy of a large archway, into a second dining area making it perfect for entertaining. Both of these interconnecting rooms have decorative coved ceilings and enjoy the fine views from the large bay window. The large 26' Drawing Room again enjoys the fine views and also has glazed panel doors opening out on to the rear terrace. There is a cast-iron range to add a cosy feel and the ceiling is once more finished with decorative coving. The Morning Room at the rear overlooks the terrace and is used more as a quiet space, perhaps the place to enjoy a book sat in front of the open fire.
Off the hallway you will also find two cloakrooms, whilst the study/home office at the front of the house has been formed from the once Hotel Reception.
A service' corridor off the main hallway leads to the Breakfast Kitchen with recently fitted modern base and wall units and stainless steel 6-burner range. Beyond this is a walk-in Pantry/Freezer Room, the Laundry Room and further Storage Room.
The Bedrooms are located on the first and second floors, all of which feature en-suite facilities and several of which enjoy the fine views.
Adjacent to the main house is the cottage annexe accommodation providing an 18 ft. Sitting room, kitchen, 3 bedrooms and a bathroom. Currently used for seasonal airbnb with high occupancy and income figure available.
