Summary - FERRY COTTAGE GOODRICH ROSS-ON-WYE HR9 6JN
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Characterful riverside home with guest lodge and outbuilding potential.
About 1.5 acres of gardens, paddock and private river jetty
Ferry Cottage is an 18th‑century riverside home set in about 1.5 acres with sweeping views to Symonds Yat and Coppett Hill. The house combines character features and flexible accommodation — three generous bedrooms (or four with study), two main bathrooms and a triple‑aspect sitting room that frames the river. The open‑plan kitchen/dining room opens onto a raised deck, creating easy indoor‑outdoor flow for family life and entertaining.
Outside there is direct river access with a private jetty, extensive lawns, paddock, vegetable plot and a separate guest lodge with electrics — ideal for visitors or a home office. A substantial oak‑framed outbuilding houses garage, stores and shower room and offers obvious conversion potential subject to planning, while off‑street parking and covered parking are provided.
Important considerations: this location has a documented history of flooding (notably Storm Dennis, 2020) and the property carries a high long‑term flood risk. Flood resilience measures and a professionally installed barrier are reported to be in place and the property currently benefits from Flood‑Re eligible insurance. Energy performance is low (EPC: F) and heating is oil‑fired with underfloor heating; council tax banding is high.
This is a lifestyle property for buyers seeking a pronounced riverside setting and expansive grounds. It will suit families or those wanting a dramatic countryside base with potential to adapt outbuildings and lodge, but buyers should factor in flood risk, ongoing maintenance, and retrofit works to improve energy efficiency.
