Situated just a few miles north of the historic market town of Ross-on-Wye, Pengethley Manor is a fine example of a classic English Georgian Grade II Listed manor house, complete with an array of ancillary accommodation, beautiful grounds amounting to 13 acres in total, and a stunning panorama over National Trust owned parkland and rolling green countryside beyond. The Duchy of Cornwall owns a large portion of countryside nearby.

Being easily accessible from nearby road networks, this beautiful historic home has enjoyed much commercial success in recent years, operating as a variety of profitable businesses, including a highly regarded hotel and restaurant, wedding venue and conference centre. In more recent years it has also offered short term holiday stays to the public. The property is currently under commercial use, however it has recently been granted permission for change of use to residential, giving full flexibility of use to any future owner.

The local area offers many wonderful benefits in terms of business and leisure, including easy access to the M50 and A40, allowing for a quick commute to Birmingham, Cardiff, Bristol and the Cotswolds. The countryside around Pengethley Manor is some of the finest in the region, with a huge array of outdoor pursuits available, including canoeing and fishing on the River Wye, with hiking and mountain biking opportunities in the nearby Forest of Dean, Malvern Hills and Brecon Beacons. Ross-on-Wye and Hereford both offer an excellent selection of shopping, dining, schools and more.

Outside

The property sits within grounds of over 13 acres, which comprise a wonderful array of garden styles and practical use spaces.

To the north side of the main house is a large parking area with space for up to a couple of dozen vehicles (and scope to create additional parking if required).
