Location & Description

Clairville lies just a short way south of Ross-on-Wye town centre, occupying a corner position at the junction of Old Maids Walk and Copse Cross Street.

The principal aspects are to the south and east, the superbly proportioned and numerous sash windows allowing the penetration of the high degree of natural light.

The property is of Herefordshire Old Red Sandstone construction, the main accommodation being on three levels, but with an upper half storey and vaulted cellars beneath.

The garden extends southwards from the façade towards the part gravelled parking area, and there is a second principal access to the western elevation, the far door opening to a delightful, circular Georgian staircase.

As currently used, the property is partially sub-divided into three units, but the whole could easily revert to a large single dwelling, since there are interconnecting doors, as well as two stairwells.

The property has immense character, and has been in the same ownership for the last 47 years.
