Perched above the River Wye, The Rookery is a four-bedroom period detached house offering sweeping waterside views and close access to riverside pursuits. The house sits on just under an acre, combining landscaped garden, decking and a stretch of ancient woodland — ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who value privacy and space.
Internally the accommodation is versatile and well-presented. A spacious living room with a woodburning stove, an upgraded kitchen and a ground-floor bedroom with shower room make single‑level living straightforward. Three first‑floor bedrooms and a family bathroom continue the riverside outlook. Large windows bring the landscape in and create a light, connected feel throughout the home.
Practical strengths include riparian fishing rights at two village locations, garage parking with EV charger, double glazing (fitted post‑2002) and RIBA Stage 2 architect drawings ready for submission should you wish to extend. The property is freehold, not in a flood-risk area, and lies in a very low-crime, remoter hamlet close to Ross-on-Wye and Hereford for wider amenities.
Buyers should note the house is oil‑heated via boiler and radiators and the original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, which may affect running costs or require retrofit insulation. The home offers clear scope for improvement or enlargement using the existing architect drawings, making it suitable for those seeking a period property with genuine growth potential.
