Ross-On-Wye is a historic market town centred on a well preserved stone market house. Situated on the banks of the River Wye in South Herefordshire close to the border with Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire. Ross acts as an excellent gateway to the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley, being such a beautiful area to live and work it is no wonder that it is often seen as the birth place of modern day tourism.
The town has excellent access to the motorway network via the M50 and about a 25 minutes drive to the M5. It’s only a fifteen minute drive to Monmouth which is also serviced by a regular bus route as are both Hereford and Gloucester. The nearest international airport is Bristol, with Birmingham and Cardiff a little further but all within an hour and half drive. The nearest train station is in Ledbury.There are many different sport and leisure activities in Ross-on-Wye. Football, Cricket, Golf and Rugby are all well catered for.

We just brought our first house as a family through Richard Butler and the experience was fantastic start to finish. Although we had a smaller chain, they kept us informed and updated throughout and we never felt in anyway a bother to call and ask questions. As a team fantastic ! Recommend highly

Fantastic Service from Richard Butler Estate Agents. The team went beyond the call off duty at times to make sure the  moved in the right direction. Thoroughly recommended to anyone looking to buy in the area.

Recently purchased a property with Richard Butler as the acting estate agents. Superb communication throughout the entire process, especially pacifying the vendor when it appeared a very weak link in the chain on our side started causing problems.  Fantastic customer service, highly recommend.
