Location & Description
Stowe House comprises a handsome, detached house of sandstone construction under a double pitched and hipped slate roof, and lies at the extreme northern end of the unspoilt common in the heart of Peterstow Village, some three miles west of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye.
Formerly the residence of the village Blacksmith, the property is believed to date from around 1800, and still has along its southern boundary the original Wheelwrights shed, the two ancient skills working closely in conjunction with one another.
Since acquisition the current owner has undertaken a host of upgrades and refurbishment works, which has included much redecoration, the installation of triple glazing, together with the replacement of two bath/shower rooms.
There are some lovely views from the house across nearby farmland, and the whole of the accommodation has immense appeal.
The principal lawned garden lies to the south east of the house, and is remarkably private and attractively planted.
Positioned towards the extreme end of the garden is a recently constructed wooden garden structure with adjacent paved area which forms a wonderful spot in which to relax, enjoy a drink and perhaps have a bbq and alfresco dining.
Peterstow is a sought after village, partly because of its large central village Common, but partly because of the wealth of amenities which are becoming increasingly difficult to find in villages. These include a shop, post office and off licence, two excellent pubs, both locally owned and run, Church/Village Hall, bus stop and some wonderful walks. The A49 and associated roads enable excellent access to Hereford and Abergavenny, Monmouth and Ledbury, whilst the M50 motorway/A40 dual carriage way gives first class access to the nations motorways.

This charming 21' living room with feature period fireplace and windows to two elevations, is filled with natural light. A door leads through to a further reception room/snug, together with a study.

Bedrooms & Bathroom
To the first floor are four double bedrooms and the recently refitted bathroom with separate shower and w.c.
Outside
The principal lawned garden lies to the southeast of the house and is remarkably private and attractively planted. Positioned towards the extreme end of the garden is a recently constructed wooden garden structure with power and lighting, with adjacent paved area which forms a wonderful spot in which to relax, enjoy a drink and perhaps have a bbq and alfresco dining. The Wheelrights Barn provides a fantastic workshop, and having both power and lighting it offers great potential.
The boundaries have all been re-fenced, together with the addition of new gates and sensor lighting. There is also parking for two vehicles.
The Village of Peterstow
he village of Peterstow lies astride the A49 Ross to Hereford Road, some 3 miles west of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye.
The village is sought after for a number of reasons. In the centre of the village is a large grassy Common, open to all, with a scattering of mature and younger deciduous trees. Many village activities take place during the course of the year on this Common and dog walkers will frequently stop and talk or sit on one of the benches and gaze out across the rolling Herefordshire countryside, Just a few paces away from the Common is the busy village shop, Post Office and Off Licence, whilst on the opposite side of the road is a bus stop with regular services to Ross, Hereford and Gloucester. There are two pubs, the Yew Tree and the Red Lion Inn, both locally owned, and much loved by the community. Ancient St Peters Church was transformed some 15 years ago to be both a church and multifunctional space, and is now used also as a village hall. A lovely friendly village which also has excellent access to the M50 motorway/A40 dual carriageway
