Derwent House is a handsome, characterful detached home in the centre of Lea, set within attractive walled gardens and a large private plot. The former stables date from the 1700s and retain exposed beams, bare stone walls and pitched ceilings alongside practical additions such as a conservatory, dining kitchen and three generous double bedrooms — a comfortable layout for family life.
Living spaces flow well for everyday use and entertaining: a sitting room with a stone fireplace and wood-burning stove, a dual-aspect dining/music room and a conservatory that opens onto the lawned garden. Modern conveniences include solar panels, an EV charging point and a double carport, while the dining kitchen benefits from quality fitted units and integrated appliances.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. Broadband speeds are slow in the area, the property uses LPG for central heating, and the home is in a medium flood-risk zone. The council tax band is high (Band F) and the EPC is awaited — all factors to weigh for running costs. Overall, this is a character home with period charm and contemporary additions, ideal for a family wanting village life with easy access to Ross-on-Wye and the surrounding countryside.
