New Street, Ross-On-Wye HR9

Bursting with charm and character, this delightful two-bedroom Grade II listed home is nestled on the ever-popular New Street, just a short stroll from the heart of Ross-on-Wye. Inside, the property offers a wonderfully spacious and homely feel, blending period features with comfortable living. To the rear, you’ll find an enclosed garden — a peaceful and private spot to relax — along with a versatile outbuilding, perfect as a hobby room, games room, or creative studio.

The pretty market town of Ross-on-Wye, with its picturesque river walks, offers an array of excellent shopping facilities and schools. The M50 motorway is easily accessible and provides excellent commuter links to the M5 giving good access to Birmingham and the North, Bristol and the South. The A40 leads to the M4 at Newport, giving good access to Cardiff and Wales.

Step inside and you’re welcomed into a truly atmospheric lounge. The exposed beams on the ceiling, the raw stone wall with a feature fireplace, and the aged wooden flooring all work together to create that cosy cottage feel. It’s a space where you can imagine yourself curled up with a good book or gathered with friends on the large vintage sofa. The stairs sweep up from the far side, framed with original timber and stone — a feature in its own right. This room is the heart of the home: Soulful, snug, and full of character.

Tucked to the rear of the property, this kitchen-diner has a delightfully country-cottage vibe. The white open shelving, wooden worktops, and tiled flooring feel refreshingly simple and practical. The layout remains completely functional for everyday living. The dining space is well-defined and naturally sociable — you could see yourself enjoying morning coffee here or Sunday breakfasts with the sun spilling in through the rear windows. A door leads from here to the garden.

The landing cleverly links the upstairs spaces with a pleasant sense of flow, shaped with a gentle turn and some lovely period quirks in its architecture. It also helps amplify the sense of space upstairs, which is surprisingly generous for a home of this age.

The principal bedroom is effortlessly elegant, bathed in natural light that pours through the front-facing sash window and beautifully complements the crisp white colour palette. This soft, neutral backdrop creates an immediate sense of calm and refinement, while a deep red Persian-style rug anchors the space with a splash of rich, regal warmth. Mirrored wardrobes run along one wall, providing excellent storage while also enhancing the sense of space and light within the room. From this serene sanctuary, there’s a gentle outlook over the peaceful, tree-lined street—offering both charm and privacy. To one side, a wide opening leads seamlessly into a dressing area—currently fitted with additional wardrobes and a dressing table. This versatile space flows naturally from the principal suite, feeling very much like a continuation of the room itself. It could easily serve as a luxurious walk-in wardrobe, a private reading nook, or even be reimagined as a nursery or small child’s bedroom.

The second bedroom feels both charming and peaceful, ideal as a guest room, nursery, or creative space. The slightly sloped ceiling adds character while the rear-facing window brings in soft, ambient light.

The bathroom is fitted with a sleek white bath, complete with traditional chrome taps and a handheld shower attachment, all set against a stunning wall of deep green metro tiles. These rich, glossy tiles bring a sense of luxury and depth to the space, beautifully contrasting with the white bath and fixtures. Beneath your feet, classic black-and-white checkerboard flooring adds a timeless vintage touch, tying the room together with character and style.

Outside- Enclosed by charming whitewashed walls, the garden feels like a hidden courtyard retreat—private, characterful, and full of personality. A thoughtfully laid timber walkway, flanked by smooth pebbles, leads you down the centre of the space, drawing your eye towards a delightful outbuilding at the far end—perfect for use as a garden studio, potting shed, or a peaceful work-from-home spot. Either side of the path is beautifully dressed with an array of pots, planters, and raised beds brimming with flowers, herbs, and foliage, lending colour and life to the space. There’s a distinct cottage garden feel.
