Upper Grove House offers a marvellous opportunity to serious buyers. The excellent size
and versatility of the accommodation could work so well for many. The room sizes are
excellent throughout. The main house is brimming with character with exposed original
timbers and interesting period fireplaces; it can only charm anyone who enters, having
been a happy family home for many years. Quality work has been done on the property
with oak staircases and doors installed throughout.
The very large Sitting Room is a charming light room with a large inglenook fireplace at
one end and yet another period fireplace at the other (obviously two rooms at one stage).
Another reception room offers an opportunity for a large formal Dining Room plus a
large Garden/Breakfast Room.
The kitchen with flagstone floors has custom built units and includes an Aga range
cooker. There is also a useful Utility room and separate Cloakroom across the Side
Entrance Hallway (which features an old Cider Mill stone).
Upstairs are particularly generous bedrooms. Bedroom Two has a large dressing room
ideal for a nursery bedroom (Bed Six) or offers possibilities for an ensuite. The rest of the
bedrooms are also of excellent size, with the Master Bedroom having an ensuite and an
adjoining room which may be suitable for a Study (Bed Five). These two bedrooms can
be accessed by a second staircase or the main landing ( via the Master Bedroom).
A large attic is accessed from Bedroom Four – great for storage but whilst heated and
illuminated with velux window this attic does have limited headroom.
The bathrooms are well fitted with a particularly large family bathroom which offers a
large shower cubicle and bath facilities and period style oak panelling.
The Annexe suite can either be independent with a separate entrance or can be retained as
part of the main house via access through the Garden Room. The two ground floor rooms
are a little dark so are used as Bedrooms with a lovely light Sitting Room above with
vaulted ceiling and offers access to the gardens. There is also a well fitted Shower Room
and a useful but relatively basic Kitchen.
Outside and across the front courtyard is a large detached building which consists of a
massive three bay garage and workshop with oak staircase leading to an amazing space
above. This was used as a massive entertaining area with oak flooring, lots of light and
access via French doors to the lawns at the rear. There is a small cloaks room and
separate shower room/WC. Whatever you choose to use this space for: snooker, music,
artist’s studio , office or even a noisy teenager it will not fail to please.
The gardens offer a generous front courtyard and lawn with neat walling and gated steps
elevating the house from the country lane below. To the rear is a private sun terrace with
steps leading to terraced lawns interspersed with shrubbery and fruit trees. It has real
country charm without requiring excessive maintenance.
AGENTS OPINION
This really attractive home has a real wow factor and must be viewed to be appreciated!
Set back from the country lane but with good access to networks it is ideally placed for
rural living. It could suit a large family; eminently suitable for even three generations to
combine in one purchase with distinct & defined areas for each.
However it could also be very practical for an upmarket Bed and Breakfast. It has been
empty for a short while and the décor may need a little uplifting but all the major jobs
have already been done, with excellent oak staircases and doors and a custom built
kitchen already fitted. The garden is a reasonable size but not so huge it would be
unmanageable.
We all love it and can thoroughly recommend it to serious buyers.
NB Some buyers are afraid of Grade II listing – our personal opinion is that a building is
only listed if it is special and who would want to change that. This house already has a
great layout and frankly little would need to be changed if anything. So our advice would
be to savour the listing status. With the space available it is unlikely you would need to
do major work like extensions. However we understand the listing in Upper Grove relates
to a window at the rear of the house.

SELLACK is a rural village in the heart of the Wye Valley amidst scenic countryside –
part of the village overlooks the river Wye. It has popular village Inns called the
Loughpool and The Red Lion as well as a pretty church- St. Tysilio's. The church offers
a variety of fund raising events which include barn dances & an annual dinner. The
nearest town is Ross-on-Wye approx 3.5 miles with Hereford City 13 miles away and the
A40 and M50 give access to the motorway networks approx 2 miles.
ROSS-ON-WYE has all the shopping you are likely to need including three
supermarkets. All the extra things you associate with a tourist area are also available in
and around the town i.e. gift shops, tea rooms, restaurants for all budgets. The river area
below the ‘Prospect’ is a very pleasant place to spend time, particularly in the summer,
watching the world go by at one of the riverside pubs, or perhaps the regatta from the
boat house. There is a public swimming pool and a modern library. Markets are held on
Thursdays in the centre of the town in the old market place.
MOTORWAY The M50/M5/M4 are all reasonably close giving good access to major
cities i.e. Birmingham, Bristol, Newport, Cardiff, Bath, Cheltenham, Gloucester and
Hereford all within approx 1.5 hours (or less) drive away.
RAIL NETWORKS Available at Abergavenny, Gloucester, Hereford or Newport.
