Ross Road, Shortstanding, Gloucestershire, GL16

This renovated, country property is located in a small hamlet with a pub and a shop nearby.

From the property there are views across valleys in front and fields and forest to the rear. It’s a short walk along a lane into the forest where paths lead down to the Wye River or to Symonds Yat Rock.

The main part of the property dates to early 1800’s, is made of stone and brick with a slate roof and has substantial outdoor space. The property has been extended on the ground-floor by previous owners.

The main accommodation offers a spacious lounge with log burner, a re-fitted kitchen and bathroom and two double-sized bedrooms. Attached to the kitchen is a utility area, currently housing a washing machine and fridge-freezer. A home office is situated in a private spot in the garden overlooking fields.

There are many character features in the cottage including exposed beams and stone walls.

Outside is another original stone building with slate roof that used to be a shop. It has electricity and water supplied and could provide further accommodation subject to planning consent. It’s currently being used as a workshop.

The gravelled driveway provides parking for two vehicles.

A path leads from the courtyard up to a substantial rear garden which is bordered by shrubs and mature trees with views looking over fields to the woodland beyond.

Within the garden is another stone building with a new slate roof currently being used as a tool-shed.

Monmouth and Ross-on-Wye are a short drive away while Hereford, Gloucester, Cheltenham and Bristol are within commuting distance.
