3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Location
Linton is a picturesque village, roughly five miles from Ross-on-Wye, a popular market town with a good variety of supermarkets, shops, restaurants, leisure facilities and highly regarded schools.
A fine 13th century church stands in the centre of Linton and the Alma Inn, a family-run pub, is a short distance away. At the beginning of 2024, this was crowned pub of the year by Herefordshire's branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) - and this accolade marked the fourth time that the inn has earned this award since the current landlords took over in 2015. Each June, the Alma Inn hosts the Linton Festival, a three-day long music festival and, later in the year, the pub also stages the one-day-long Linton Summer Sessions. Both events raise money for various charities, most of which benefit the local community.
There is a hive of activity throughout the year in this lively village – for instance; a wine club launched at the village hall in October 2021. The hall also regularly hosts a variety of other events such as community lunches, yoga classes, live music, and much more. In addition to this, there are community initiatives around Linton year-round.
Linton is also within easy reach of amenities: There are two golf courses – The South Herefordshire Golf Course and Ross-on-Wye Golf Club – both of which are less than a mile away.
It is also worth noting that the village of Gorsley is just over a mile away; this setting gives a shop, coffee house, public house, play area, recreation ground and Gorsley Goffs Primary School, which is rated 'Good' by Ofsted. The village of Lea, two miles away, also offers a village store, garage and Church of England primary school which is graded 'Good' by Ofsted.
The M50 motorway is approximately one mile away and provides excellent commuter links to the M5 giving good access to Birmingham, the North, Bristol and the South. The A40, three miles away, leads to the M4 at Newport, giving good access to Cardiff, Wales and the South.

The home at a glance
As the name suggests, before the Reformation, Priest Chambers once provided accommodation for the priest at St Mary's Church, therefore the property is a stone's throw from the striking place of worship. Both reception rooms and two of the three bedrooms boast views over the ancient churchyard and its famed Linton Yew, which is thought to be one of the oldest yew trees in Britain.
A wrought iron gate leads into an enclosed porch, which secures the entrance; a glass door, followed by a timelessly elegant wooden door leads into the sitting room, which sets an excellent scene. It carries an inglenook fireplace with a grand log-burning stove, a classically beautiful wooden floor, exquisite timbered walls and a beamed ceiling. The far end of this expanse leads into a dining kitchen, and more exposed timber beams act as a partition between the two zones.
The dining kitchen features a tiled floor, cream-coloured base-and-wall units with solid wooden worktops, an Indesit oven, a ceramic hob an extractor fan, plus a 1 + 1/2 sink with mixer tap. An old bread oven serves as an impressive focal point, and a door on the right-hand side leads out to a courtyard garden which offers a peaceful alfresco dining spot.
At the far end of the kitchen, there is a utility room which presents space and plumbing for a washing machine - and this area also houses the boiler. Beyond here, there is a shower room.
A second reception room is positioned on the right-hand side of the sitting room, and this also includes timbered walls and a beamed ceiling, plus a smaller log-burning stove on a brick hearth. In the far corner of this room, a staircase leads up to the first floor and its galleried landing - and plenty of natural light pours into this space through a roof lantern.
A step up on the left-hand side leads to a second smaller landing, which contains a built-in storage cubby and also gives access to two double bedrooms. Of these, one boasts a vaulted ceiling with exposed trusses. There is also built-in storage across one side, giving ample hanging and shelving space.
The second bedroom includes a pitched ceiling with an exposed beam and another generous amount of built-in storage.
The third bedroom - on the right-hand side of the main landing includes a built-in cupboard. Its main aspect overlooks the courtyard garden, and a wooden window seat offers one a quiet space to enjoy the view. A Velux window lets more light cascade into the space.
Next door, there is an attractive bathroom, which contains a bath with a shower attachment, a WC and a countertop vanity unit. A protruding chimney breast and more exposed timbering offer attractive focal points.
