Barn Conversion for sale in Ross-on-Wye
1
Rolling farmland serves as a bucolic backdrop to this partially converted barn, which affords peace and seclusion in abundance. The country retreat is set within a small complex of elegant stone-built properties and, while a new owner can put their stamp on the property by effecting the finishing touches, the completed work has been of a high standard.

The home at a glance
Well Barn is a wondrously unique property which has been designed for occupants to live in harmony with wildlife; bird boxes have been built into arrow slits within the deep-stone walls, with one-way glass windows to give vantage points over visiting owls and swallows.
The bare bones of Well Barn are lovely. A timbered vaulted ceiling with exposed oak trusses accentuates the generous size of the property and plenty of light pours into the space through skylights and windows to all four aspects - and it is worth noting that a series of windows stretch the whole way across the south-facing side.
Throughout the home, the creative style of the former owner is on display throughout the fabric building - there are striking woodwork details and the fitted storage is quirky yet elegant.
In terms of practicality, the piping is laid for underfloor central heating - although a heat source and boiler have not yet been installed. It is also worth noting that when the original roof of the barn was removed, high-quality steel joists and insulation were installed.
Planning permission was initially granted by Herefordshire Council to approve the conversion of the original barn to provide a workshop and ancillary living accommodation. If the next custodian does not wish to have a live-in workshop/business premises, a change of use would be required, but the Valuation Office Agency has confirmed that this is a straightforward process (please speak to the sales team for further information).
Location
Hope Mansell is tucked away in a serene corner of Herefordshire, in a spot that is unspoiled by any light or sound pollution; at night, the setting benefits from darkness and silence - a rarity during the 21st Century. The village includes the 12-century St Michael and All Angels Church, as well as a village hall which hosts an array of community-centred activities, such as a Christmas pub night during December and a Burns Night celebration in January.
Despite the idyllic country setting's seclusion, it is within easy reach of well-connected road networks. The A40 is approximately two-and-a-half miles away which gives easy access to the pretty market town of Ross-on-Wye, which is famed for being the birthplace of British tourism due to its spectacular scenery; it is perched on red sandstone cliffs that tower over the River Wye. The town also offers a variety of supermarkets, shops, boutiques, reputable schools, welcoming pubs, popular restaurants and leisure facilities. It is also worth noting that there are two golf clubs that are each a couple of miles from the town. The cathedral city of Gloucester, which also boasts a wealth of amenities, is also within easy access, owing to the village's proximity to the A40.
