Ashe Leigh is situated off a quiet lane in a lovely rural setting just over half a mile from the village of Bridstow with a primary school, church and nearby pubs. A good village store can be found in Peterstow 1.5 miles away. Just 2 miles distant is the historic and thriving market town of Ross on Wye where you will find a range of shops, supermarkets, schooling, community hospital, library and leisure facilities including easy access to the well renowned independent schools of Monmouth (10.5 miles) and Hereford Cathedral (13 miles). The city of Hereford offers all the amenities associated with a city and, with Gloucester (18.5 miles), provides excellent rail links to London Paddington and Birmingham New Street. The picturesque Wye Valley and Black Mountains are within easy reach, while Birmingham, Bristol and Cardiff are about an hours drive away. Access to the motorway network is via the M50 and M5.

Ashe Leigh is approached through double metal gates onto the drive which sweeps round to the large gravel turning circle at the rear of the property. There is ample parking for several vehicles. The large rear gardens enjoy beautiful rural surroundings and are mainly laid to lawn with beds and borders of colourful herbaceous plantings, shrubs and specimen trees including a collection of espaliered pear trees. A small attractive parterre can be found towards the back of the garden as can a peaceful seating area in which to relax and admire the views. A tall hedged area once housed the vegetable garden and although now home to chickens, could easily provide a source of home grown produce. A separate herb garden includes rosemary, sage, bay and thyme. The large stone patio adjoining the house makes the ideal spot for outside entertaining and it is attractively bordered by ornamental stone balustrading with a mature Wisteria and other climbing shrubs creating a delightful backdrop. A white rendered stone and brick outbuilding is used as a log store and the large detached brick built double garage is currently used as a childrens games/entertaining room.
