Location & Description
Constructed some 22 years ago to the exacting standards of the Architect creator, Leobhan lies some 300yds west of Ross town centre, and commands absolutely stunning views across the famous horseshoe bend of the River Wye. The structure occupies an elevated, cliff top location and thus has no conventional garden to maintain, and offers spacious and truly individual accommodation on several levels. The views from the property are extensive, extending way beyond the river itself across hundreds of acres of unspoilt and undulating countryside towards the Welsh hills in the distance.
For someone who wishes to run a professional office/commercial business from the 45'recreation space, we consider there is immense potential. A Pre Planning Application was made for a change of use of same from recreational to appropriate commercial use, and that has been considered favourably. With its own, independent access, we feel this area might well suit an accountant/solicitor/yoga teacher/physiotherapist/dental practice etc.
Pedestrian access to the river is only two minutes walk away, as are all the facilities of this fascinating and historic market town.
The cleverly designed accommodation occupies the central portion of the structure. To the lowest level is the versatile 45' Recreation room, whilst to the northern elevation is the exceptionally spacious double garage, workshop and wine cellar! Many features of the construction have been designed to mitigate road noise. These include reinforced concrete floors, 6/12/6 double glazing to all rooms, cavity sound absorbent blockwork walls and other features. Central heating is from a Rehau underfloor system, even including the double garage and workshop! In addition to being a unique family home, the versatile 45' ground floor recreation room offers scope for many other potential uses (subject to consent) including Professional offices (eg. Solicitors/Accountants, Physiotherapy Clinic etc.)
