Summary
The Croft is a most interesting part stone detached property centrally situated in the rural village of Kings Caple, which lies in an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Within the village there is a church, village hall and a primary school. The market town of Ross-on-Wye, approx. 6 miles, provides a wide range of amenities including shops, pubs, hotels, restaurants and leisure activities. The Cathedral City of Hereford is approximately 11 miles, and Ledbury is approximately 12 miles, both with mainline railway stations providing direct links to Birmingham and London. Transport connections are also well served with access to the M50.
Dating back in parts to the 1800's, the property was subject to a considerable extension in the 1970's and offers scope for further enhancement with potential for an independent annexe.
The accommodation extends to approximately 2500 sq ft and is arranged on the ground floor with a canopy entrance porch, breakfast kitchen, utility room, cloakroom, dining room, living room, garden room and a studio/additional reception room. On the first floor a landing leads to the master bedroom with a Juliet balcony, four further bedrooms and two bathrooms.
One of the great attractions of The Croft is its position, set in delightful mature grounds extending to approximately 3.25 acres. The grounds comprise a large well established garden mainly laid to lawn with a feature terraced rockery and an additional area of paddock. The grounds were once used as a market garden and there are two large commercial greenhouses, together with other useful outbuildings. The Croft is approached by two entrances providing ample driveway parking with turning area. A gravelled area extends around to the side with a feature cider mill stone and a pond. There is also a well & pump with extraction licence.
In late 2022, Pre-Application advice was sought from Herefordshire Council for the “Demolition of domestic glasshouse. Erection of two detached dwellings with garaging. Alteration to vehicular access”. On 25 January 2023, a response from the Planning Authority ended with the following conclusion. “Overall, in conclusion the principle of new residential development in this location would be supported. However, there needs to be further consideration to the site layout as the proposed would introduce back land development into the area, which is not reflective of the character of the area. A linear form of development which fronts the road would be considered acceptable, either one dwelling or two dwellings which could be semi-detached would be more in keeping with the area.” A full copy of this PreApp advice is obtainable from Morris Bricknell on request, or alternatively, may be viewed as an attachment on the website.
