Location & Situation
Bishopswood is well located in the heart of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in South Herefordshire benefitting from a beautiful location within rolling South Herefordshire countryside. The settlements of Bishopswood and Kerne Bridge are well connected and accessible to the town of Ross-on-Wye and the principal border town of Monmouth, equidistant between the cities of Hereford and Gloucester, all of which are highly regarded for their range of local facilities, amenities, employment, and educational establishments. The A40 is just 2.5 miles away at Whitchurch providing a direct connection to the A4137 and the A49, A449, M50 and M5 to the east.

Orchard Heights Development Plot 1
Plot 1 is one of three approved consecutive plots. The development plot forms a natural inclusion to the settlement, with a layout and dwelling design that strongly compliments the existing settlement. The proposed scheme has been carefully designed for a premium development plot, to appeal to the family and professional market. Each dwelling benefits from double surface parking space, integral garage and extensive garden curtilage which could be extended subject to negotiation.

Plot Description
The proposed layout of Plot 1 comprises an entrance opening into a central hall which provides access to an integrated garage, a sitting room, and open plan kitchen dining room, a study, a second reception room, a utility and cloakroom. The kitchen/dining room and sitting room will benefit from a glazed wall with bifold doors that open out onto a balcony area, perfect for alfresco dining. From the hallway stairs lead down to the lower ground floor with four double bedrooms, two of which are ensuite and a family bathroom. The dwelling will sit within a plot extending to approximately 0.70 acre.
The layout has been designed to provide a spacious 4-bedroom executive family home in a beautiful setting with spectacular views.

Planning Consent
Full planning consent was approved under Planning Application Reference 212222, dated 5th May 2022, for “Proposed 3 no. detached dwellings, with detached garage for existing house and associated works.” The original PreApp was positive towards an additional fourth dwelling so there may be opportunity to increase to two dwellings on plot 1 (subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents).

The Vendors have undertaken significant professional works in the form of a Geotechnical Survey Report and Structural/civil engineering report to alleviate any “unknowns” that buyers might have and also to significantly reduce any elapsed time issues in having these works undertaken and approved by any prospective purchasers. Application to Discharge Conditions was submitted on 18th April 2024, under Planning Reference 241032, and approved on 13th May 2024. Site works were undertaken in 2024. The planning permission has now been secured in perpetuity as confirmed by Herefordshire Council in December 2024.

The proposed Elevations & Floorplans are displayed within this Brochure. An online library of all project documentation is available to potential buyers upon request to view from Powells, via the DJD Associates secure portal.
