Birdsall House is a spacious 1940s detached family home set on about a quarter of an acre, just under a mile from Ross-on-Wye town centre. The house retains period character — parquet floors, stained-glass internal doors and an original fireplace — while offering a flexible layout of three reception rooms and three double bedrooms. The garden, summer house, driveway and garage add immediate family practicality.
The property presents clear scope to modernise and extend (subject to planning). The kitchen and utility are functional and the house benefits from mains gas heating and double glazing, but parts of the home need updating and modern insulation is assumed absent in the stone walls. The bathroom layout is unconventional with separate WC and shower sections, which may suit some buyers but could be reconfigured.
For families and buyers seeking a character home with outdoor space, the plot is a standout: private, well-planted gardens with an apple tree, a wildlife/fish pond and a decked summer house. Commuters will find good road links and rail connections within reach, while local schools and riverside amenities make this a convenient base for everyday life and weekend outdoor pursuits.
This is an opportunity for a buyer who wants a substantial home to personalise and improve — the building’s size, plot and location create potential value for those prepared to carry out renovation and pursue any permitted extensions.
