Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Herefordshire, the charming villages of Goodrich, Bishopswood, and Walford, along with the bustling market town of Ross-on-Wye, form a delightful tapestry of rural England. Bishopswood, with its tranquil woodlands and serene riverside, provides an idyllic escape for nature lovers and walkers alike. Stoneway House is a short distance from The Inn on The Wye pub and restaurant. Goodrich, renowned for its stunning medieval castle, offers a glimpse into the past with its well-preserved ruins and panoramic views of the River Wye. Goodrich is also home to a primary school, St Giles Church, tennis club, The Hostelrie and Cross Keys Inn. Meanwhile, Ross-on-Wye, perched on a hill overlooking the river, is famed for its charming streets lined with independent shops, cosy cafes, and a vibrant market scene. Together, these communities embody the rich heritage and natural beauty that make this corner of Herefordshire so desirable.

Step inside - Step inside Stoneway House and be immediately captivated by a picture window that frames a spectacular, far-reaching view across the garden towards the River Wye and beyond. This breathtaking scenery is a recurring theme throughout the property. Just off the entrance hall, there is a cloakroom. Doors lead to a generous sitting room featuring a fireplace and French doors that open out to the garden. At the rear of the sitting room, you'll find a cosy study area. The dining room, complete with a Jotul stove housed within an attractive stone fireplace, offers a perfect space for family meals.

The fitted kitchen, with oak-fronted cabinets, is split into two levels: the upper level for cooking and a lower level with ample space for a breakfast table. The kitchen itself boasts integrated appliances such as a dishwasher and fridge freezer, along with a Franke sink and space for a range-style cooker. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room with an external door opening to the front aspect.

Completing the ground floor is a conservatory. Stepping inside, surrounded by glass, the view is truly breathtaking.

The first floor is a cacophony of character features including polished pine floorboards, ornate fireplaces, and additional picture windows. The principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, complemented by two further double bedrooms, a single bedroom that could also serve as a study, and a family bathroom.

Outside - As you climb Leys Hill to approach the property, the anticipation builds because the higher the elevation, the better the view. Descend the driveway through the gated entrance into the off-road parking and turning area in front of the double garage. Behind the garage is a spacious room, ideal for a home office or games room. There could be potential to convert the garage and office into ancillary or holiday accommodation, subject to necessary planning consents. Steps lead down to Stoneway House and around into the garden.

The extensive gardens and grounds surrounding the property amount to approximately three-quarters of an acre. The gardens are tiered, with the jewel in the crown being a heated swimming pool surrounded by a bamboo screen for privacy. A decked terrace on the top tier makes for a great entertaining space. Step down onto the lawned garden and barbecue area where hours can be spent enjoying the truly spectacular view across the countryside, following the curve of the River Wye. The gardens are a haven for flora and fauna.
