Location
Walford Road is one of the town's most sought-after settings as it is set just inside a conservation area. Ross-on-Wye's town centre is around half a mile from the property, and there is a particularly lovely route into town – past the tennis courts and through the churchyard.
Ross-on-Wye offers an assortment of shops, supermarkets, independently-owned boutiques, a range of restaurants, welcoming pubs, reputable schools and various leisure facilities.
Ross also houses two gp surgeries and both of these, plus the local community hospital, are all half a mile from White Keys.
There are also numerous spectacular woodland, riverside and country hikes nearby, including the Town and Country Trail, Chase Woods and the John Kyrle circular walk, taking in fields and the River Wye. The Rope Walk – a lovely level route taking visitors on a stroll alongside the River Wye is especially popular with residents and tourists alike.
Ross is also within easy access of major road networks. From Walford Road, the A40 is around two miles away and the eastbound 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 is around two-and-a-half miles away and this gives good access to the M5 - leading to Birmingham to the north and Bristol to the south.
The home at a glance
White Keys is set well back from Walford Road and the spacious family home is encircled by an expansive, level lawn. The main entrance leads into a bright and airy reception hall which winds around the staircase and this immediately sets the scene for the distinctive property.
The heart of the home is a sizeable and open kitchen/dining/family room, which serves as an ideal entertaining space; while hosts prepare delicious meals, there is plenty of room for families and guests to gather around them and, during the warmer months of the year, four sets of sliding doors can be opened, leading out to a wooden deck that wraps around the home.
The ground floor is divided into two main wings and, for this reason, the layout could ideally suit multi-generational living or be adapted into a guest suite. The west wing includes two bedrooms - one of which is large enough to accommodate a double bed, while the other is ideally suited as a child's bedroom or office. This area of the home also includes a bathroom - complete with a bath, bidet, basin and WC.
The east wing includes a double bedroom which feels tremendously spacious owing to its high, pitched ceiling. From here, a hallway - which includes plenty of hanging space - leads through to a shower room. Beyond here, there is a laundry room which has space and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also ample room to hang clothes out to dry and set up an ironing board. This room also includes a Belfast sink and, as a door leads out to the garden, this area gives plenty of space to clean up after a day enjoying the great outdoors.
There is another bedroom just off the reception hall, in between the east wing and the open-plan kitchen/family room. This room - which has previously served as a music room/library - also includes a set of sliding doors which lead out to the wooden deck.
The first floor houses a spectacular sitting room. Plenty of light cascades into this space as two aspects include wall-to-wall skylights and these exhibit a fantastic view of Chase Wood, an Iron Age hillfort.
