For sale on Zoopla: spacious Herefordshire home with river views

The home is being advertised on Zoopla as having a "wonderfully dominant site" on the outskirts of Goodrich, around six miles from Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth.

Agents at Morris Bricknell say they believe the home, Guildown, was built in the early part of the last century.

They say the tale signs are the presence of a former stable and coach house lying directly to the southwest of the main house.

The house is of rendered and colour-washed walls under a double pitched and hipped slate roof, and as well as the fine cellar, there is also a second-floor bedroom with attic rooms off.

Agents say all main rooms have windows to the southeast, not only allowing the penetration of excellent natural light but also enabling beautiful unspoilt views across the meandering river Wye towards Coppett Hill.

There are totally enclosed porches to both the front and rear of the home, each of which allows access to the large and wonderfully welcoming galleried reception hall.

Off this hall are three outstanding reception rooms, agents say, two of which extend to over 25 feet.

Also on that floor are the kitchen, with a white Aga range, laundry and utility rooms, workshop and cloaks and toilet.

On the first floor are four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a covered balcony accessible directly from the two main bedrooms.

There is then a further staircase to the second floor which is made up of a bedroom and attic and storage rooms.

Central heating is from an oil-fired radiator system, as well as multi-fuel stoves set within the fireplaces of the two main reception rooms.

Agents say: "Close by, the sought-after village of Goodrich offers a primary school, two pubs, church, village hall and an excellent community spirit whilst nearby Whitchurch offers an outstanding local shop, pubs, church, village school, village hall and direct access to the A40 dual carriageway linking Ross and Monmouth."
