Planning permission has been granted by Herefordshire District Council for this very attractive small, mixed development site of 10 residential properties. Elevated, benefitting from countryside views a short walk from the centre of this very popular and active village with renowned primary school, Woods café/village shop, restaurant, Hotel, village hall and nearby pubs. Over recent years this village has demonstrated a healthy demand for new housing of this type and mix.
The village is well connected with easy access to the towns of Monmouth and Ross-on Wye with their renowned schools in the state and private sectors, as well as the major road networks.
The city of Hereford and Newport are approximately 40 minutes away, both having railway stations and Birmingham, Cardiff and Bristol Airports are not more than an hour away.
The development site forms a natural extension to the edge of the existing village, with a layout and dwelling design that strongly compliments the existing settlement. The proposed scheme has been carefully designed for a compact development site, yet with spacious sized plots, to appeal to the multi-generational, family and first-time buyers.
