The Prospect is situated on a country lane amidst cider apple orchards and Duchy of Cornwall farmland, with wonderful far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. Flanked by magnificent trees and approached by a tree-lined driveway The Prospect is a joy to behold. The historic cathedral city of Hereford - home to the world famous Mappa Mundi is just 5 miles away. Hereford offers everything you would expect from a riverside city - excellent shops, restaurants, hotels, schools, colleges, and leisure facilities. There is easy access from Hereford, or indeed from Ross-on-Wye 8 miles away, into Wales. There is a direct rail link from Hereford to London Paddington and to Birmingham. The motorway network can be accessed via Junction 3 of the M50, 10 miles away.
A quintessential Georgian fanlight door with a leaded canopy leads into the wide entrance hall. To the left is the gracefully-proportioned L-shaped sitting room. The deep feature fireplace, of pink Herefordshire stone and brick with oak mantel, is fitted with a multi-fuel burner on a yellow ochre polished flagstone hearth. On each side of the fireplace there are fitted pitch pine shelves and cupboards. An original panelled sash window overlooks the semi-circular forecourt with wooded hillsides beyond. Light streams in from the double glazed French windows that open onto the beautiful walled garden. On the opposite side of the hall is the imposing dining room. There is a pine window seat at the panelled sash window, deep stripped wood skirting. The fireplace has been constructed from dove grey dressed stone and has a cast iron hooded insert. A door opens onto the stone cellar steps. The cellar is roomy and relatively high-ceilinged with white-washed stone walls. On one wall the ancient steps for coal/dray deliveries can still be seen. The breakfast kitchen is large and homely with hand made bespoke light oak units under a black granite worktop. The island unit features an in-built induction ceramic electric hob. The kitchen is also equipped with a royal blue and black oil-fired Aga, a double inset ceramic sink with retro-style taps and an American-style wardrobe fridge-freezer with ice/drinks dispenser. The floor in this room, as in the majority of the ground floor, is of high quality wood-effect ceramic tiles laid in a diagonal parquet pattern. The breakfast bay is light and airy with large windows overlooking the rear courtyard and outbuildings. Opposite the breakfast kitchen is the utility-plus room. This large room has 2 matching full-height shelved storage cupboards with an attractive church pew-style seat between them. Additional oak units are set under a further black granite worktop with single inset ceramic sink and retro taps. A door leads into the rather quirky cloakroom with reproduction high-cistern WC and free-standing bowl hand basin. The rear hallway runs between the breakfast kitchen and the music room/study. Two doors open off the rear hallway, one into the breakfast bay, and the other into the charming music room/study with French windows opening onto a crazy paving terrace with the walled garden beyond. Stripped wooden ¼ turn stairs with an oak banister rise to the first floor landing. At the front of the house, with 2 original sash windows overlooking the forecourt and apple orchards is the light and airy master bedroom. The fitted wardrobe has stripped pine doors. The en-suite dressing room has sash windows on 2 sides, recessed halogen ceiling lights, and enormous full height fitted wardrobes with pine doors. An exposed oak beam crosses the room and a door leads into the bathroom - en-suite from this direction, but also having a doorway directly onto the landing. The bathroom is spacious and decorated in Victorian style, with tiling to dado height in navy blue and silver grey, recessed halogen ceiling lights, a large airing cupboard with slatted shelving and stripped pine doors, and a heated towel rail. Bedroom 2 has character with its stripped pine door, exposed oak beam and wonderful far-reaching views. A further ¼ turn staircase leads to the spacious 2nd floor accommodation. The galleried landing with oak balustrade features an exposed dark oak beam and window. Bedroom 3 and the family bath/shower room have views over the rear courtyard. The bathroom features attractive tiling to dado height, a heated towel rail, recessed halogen ceiling lights, and a mains shower with extractor fan. Bedrooms 4, 5, and 6 enjoy views to the front of the property.
