Situation

• Bishopswood Grange is situated in the Wye Valley Area of

Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) south west of Ross-on-Wye

on the borders of England and Wales.

• Bishopswood has a local store, whilst Lydbrook and Goodrich

have post offices, village shops, inns and primary schools. A more

comprehensive range of shops and services are in Ross-on-Wye

and the county towns of Hereford and Monmouth, the latter having

a Waitrose and a Marks & Spencer, as well as the highly popular

Haberdashers’ Schools for boys and girls.

• Communications are excellent with the A40 providing fast access

to the M50 at Ross-on-Wye and the M4 at Newport. There are rail

stations at Hereford, Newport, Bristol Parkway and Gloucester.

• This area is famed for its recreational opportunities which include

fishing and water activities on the River Wye, golf courses at Ross-

on-Wye, Monmouth (Rolls of) and Dymock, and stunning walks

through the surrounding countryside and the nearby Wye Valley

and Forest of Dean.

The Property

• Bishopswood Grange is a classically proportioned four bay

late Georgian house with former coach house and stables set

within stunning formal gardens and having an enviable wooded

backdrop. It is a much loved family house which has been

maintained to a high standard for many years.

• Approached up a long tarmac drive to a wide parking area, the

house sits proudly overlooking its grounds. It is entered beneath

an impressive canopy and through a solid panelled front door

to a fine hall with stone tiled floor and decorative coving and

plasterwork. Panelled doors lead off to the sitting, drawing and

dining rooms with their tall shuttered sash windows, handsome

fireplaces and sprung parquet floors. The drawing and dining

rooms in particular have gorgeous views out to the south

and folding doors allow them to be opened up into one large

entertaining room.

• Off the hall is the large kitchen with a modern oil fired Aga and

matching electric stove, a central island and a range of bespoke

kitchen units. There is a stable door to outside, whilst beyond is

the back hall with stone floor, cloakroom, laundry room and a

domed cellar/store. The main cellar, with doors from the hall and

outside, is beneath.

• The handsome stone staircase rises up to a half landing where

a gallery leads to the music room/library with picture windows

overlooking the gardens and a sewing room off.

• The staircase continues up to a large landing and three principal

bedrooms, one having a large en-suite bathroom and an adjoining

dressing room, and another having another en-suite bathroom.

There is a smaller room currently an office with a bathroom

alongside.

• A staircase continues up to the second floor landing with

sitting area, two bedrooms and a bathroom and thus a perfect

children’s retreat.

Outbuildings, Flat and Garaging

• To the side of the house is a paved courtyard with cast iron gates

back to the front, entrance to the cellar, a fuel store and an office.

• Beyond are a pair of stone buildings, linked by a carport, which

include the former coach house now used principally for storage,

whilst above is a gym, cloakroom and changing room with shower

for the swimming pool situated in a walled surround behind.

• Opposite is the self-contained staff flat (see Floorplans) with its

own outside terrace and access to the rear gardens. Beneath is a

large garage which opens to the entrance front and work room.

Gardens

• Delightful gardens surround Bishopswood Grange and are an

important asset to the property. To the southern front, lawns run

away from the Wisteria clad flagstone terrace and herbaceous

beds to a ha-ha and a further grassed area dotted with a variety of

trees including beech, sequoia, acacia, yew, maple and oak.

• The drive runs down one side of the lawn whilst to the other is

a stone and brick garden wall which leads back to the heated

swimming pool. Beyond the pool on the upper terrace is the

kitchen garden with a greenhouse, vegetable beds and a fruit

cage with mature fig, peach, grape vines, pear and apple trees

whilst to the rear the gardens open up into a wide expanse

of grass and a host of mature native woodland trees. A grass

tennis court is close to the far boundary.
