A distinctive three-bedroom barn conversion in Pontshill, just over three miles from Ross-on-Wye, combining original character with practical family space. The living room is a standout with exposed beams, a stone fireplace and a wood-burning stove, creating a warm, adaptable heart to the home. The fitted kitchen, separate utility and ground-floor WC provide good everyday functionality, while the attic room offers flexible extra space for occasional use or storage.
The property sits within a sizable, walled garden that wraps around the home, offering strong privacy and room for entertaining, kitchen gardening or children's play. Gated parking and outbuildings add convenience for countryside living. Approved planning permission is already in place for a single-storey extension (P222925/FH), giving clear scope to increase living space without needing fresh consents.
Practical considerations include oil-fired central heating and double glazing installed before 2002; buyers should factor in future running and upgrade costs. The house was converted around 20 years ago and is well presented but offers scope for modernization, particularly in the kitchen and some internal finishes. Its semi-detached layout means one shared wall with neighbouring converted barns.
The location will appeal to buyers seeking rural tranquillity with good connectivity: access to the A40, nearby rail links to larger centres, and immediate access to the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley walks. Local schools rated Good–Outstanding make this an appealing choice for families wanting countryside life with accessible amenities.
