Woodbine Cottage occupies high ground some three miles south of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye, and on the extreme fringes of the popular village of Walford. Probably constructed in the first half of the 19th Century, it is understood that is was built as a private country retreat for the Bishops of Hereford Diocese. One thing is for sure, those responsible certainly did find a wonderful spot for complete seclusion. The original structure has been sympathetically extended in recent years, and at the same time a great deal of refurbishment work was undertaken, now resulting in a most attractive property with beautiful, gothic style windows to front and side elevations.
The property stands towards the front of its land, with sloping woodland to the side and rear extending to approaching 2 acres. The vehicular approach is via a steep, but good quality private driveway which terminates in a generous parking area to one side of the property.
For those who enjoy walking and wildlife, there are a myriad of paths weaving throughout Howle Hill, the reason being that 200 years ago limestone was quarried on the top of these hills, being one of the few areas in south Herefordshire where ;limestone was found. There are still many old lime kilns nearby.Living/Dining Room
The exceptionally appealing 25' Living/Dining Room has wonderful, Gothic shaped, sealed unit double glazed windows to both front and side enabling long distance views towards the Welsh Hills as well as sideways towards woodland. Positioned on a slate hearth to one side is the wood burning stove, and there are recessed LED ceiling lights and additional pendant lighting.Kitchen
The kitchen is particularly well fitted with high quality Shaker style cream units and a wide range of matching base and wall cupboards, including wine racking. Iroko wood block work surfaces, also extending to provide a well placed breakfast bar to take full advantage of the fine views. Belfast sink, and range of built in appliances.
Nearby is the utility room and cloaks and w.c.Bedrooms & Bathroom
The main bedroom has Gothic style double glazed windows to the front enabling far reaching views and an outlook towards the waterfall and pond. Adjacent is the well appointed en-suite shower room and w.c. with window to rear.
Two further bedrooms again have Gothic style windows to front elevation, whilst adjacent is the family bathroom with w.c. Outside
Immediately adjoining the front wall of the property is a fine paved sun terrace from which there are superb far reaching views towards the Welsh hills. Standing a little to the west of this area is the rockery with ferns and other species, with a waterfall trickling down into the sizeable pond just to the west. There are areas of lawn and a lower terrace close to which is a fenced chicken run. The greater area of land however is given over to mixed deciduous woodland which extends alongside and in a sloping fashion to the rear of the property. The final approach to the property is down a steep private lane, but one which is kept in a good state enabling easy access to the property in all but extreme weather.The Town of Ross-on-Wye
The picturesque riverside market settlement of Ross-on-Wye is the only English town standing within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Formerly a centre for leather working, shoe making, brewing, corn milling and glove making, Ross became a very busy Coaching town in the 18th and 19th Centuries. When viewed from either of the river bridges, the white painted façade of The Royal Hotel stands adjacent to the fine, 206 feet steeple of St Marys Church. With a population of around 10,000, Ross remains a bustling town and the summer months in particular see many visitors coming to canoe, fish, cycle or alternatively enjoy more leisurely pursuits involving food and drink, perhaps downing a refreshing cider from one of the many local artisan cider makers.Services
