SET in approaching one acre of immaculate grounds, Millstones is a substantial, five bedroom, home of great quality which commands the most wonderful far-reaching views.

The house, completed just 15 years ago, is built in the Tudor-Elizabethan style, and looks as if it has always inhabited the landscape upon which it sits. The clever architectural styling and interesting shapes and roof line are redolent of the undulations of the surrounding countryside.

The interior continues the quality feel and bespoke nature of the craftsmanship, with great timber beams, Tudor archways, half timber walls and cruck beam vaulted ceilings, all melding perfectly with a home that is of the highest modern specifications. The most recent work was undertaken by Border Oak Ltd and it is abundantly clear that a great deal of thought, time and consideration was given to the design phase of this unique family home.

The open plan nature has also been successfully considered and arranged to provide an incredible flow throughout all the reception areas. Rooms do flow effortlessly, one into another, and indeed draw one naturally to throw open the French doors and settle for a moment on one of the terraces – simply to drink in the view.

There are three receptions rooms including a particularly fine drawing room with a vaulted beamed ceiling and arched double doors affording a magnificent

view towards St Mary's spire in Ross-on-Wye and the Welsh hills beyond.

The kitchen / dining area is a triumph of design being a perfect blend of function and style and featuring double doors onto a lovely courtyard ideal for

dining outside. There is a utility, study and ground floor suite which comprises two bedrooms and a bathroom and a further bedroom with ensuite facilities on the ground floor.

The master bedroom on the first floor is most impressive with a vaulted beamed ceiling and magnificent 180 degree views and a stunning ensuite featuring a roll top ball and claw bath. Bedroom five is also on the first floor and benefits from an ensuite shower room.

The property is approached via a timber gate over a cattle grid onto a driveway which sweeps around to the front of the house. A privacy bank is planted with an array of spring bulbs producing seasonal colour. Parking is then to a double and single carport.

There is a fore-lawn with clipped 'lollipop' box bushes, a clipped and shaped box hedge then bounds a raised bed full of seasonal shrubs and bushes.

The gardens to the rear are predominantly laid to lawn being well tended and partially walled framing the most attractive rear aspect of this fine property. The lawn is sprinkled with bulbs adding a palette of colour with wild meadow gardens bordering the rear lawn. A post and rail fence creates the rear boundary but does nothing to spoil the most wonderful views. The two flagstone terraces - one leading off the kitchen and the other from the sitting room give the opportunity to relax and take in the most superb surrounds.
