Planning: Granted for a single-storey, three-bedroom detached home. Planning Ref: DS082933, P202354 & DS073433. The initial phase of the work has started, therefore the planning is now held in perpetuity.

Location
The spectacular setting of Symonds Yat is situated in the heart of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The location is famed for its phenomenal river scenery, woodland expanses, limestone cliffs and is within a Site of Special Scientific Interest. There are a multitude of reputable riverside pubs and restaurants which are exceedingly popular with residents and tourists alike.
There are many delightful walking and cycle routes throughout the area and, for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, various companies offer a wide range of activities such as canoe hire.
The closest village, Whitchurch, is particularly sought after, partially owing to its Church of England Primary School which has been graded as 'Outstanding' by Ofsted. The popular community-spirited village shop, Woods of Whitchurch, stocks locally-made produce, fresh fruit and vegetables, and various essentials. It also operates as a coffee shop and takeaway. In addition, Whitchurch also boasts a village hall, an MOT centre, a highly-commended hospitality venue - The Old Court Hotel, plus a post box and bus stop.
Symonds Yat is just two miles from the Welsh border and centred between the two popular market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, both of which offer highly-regarded secondary schools, supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, leisure facilities and independently-owned shops.
The rural setting is also within easy access of major road networks; the A40 is around a mile away and the eastbound road provides a direct route to Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds. Meanwhile, motorists heading in the opposite direction can journey towards the M4 at Newport, giving access to Cardiff and London. In addition, the M50 motorway begins in Ross-on-Wye, around eight miles away, and this gives good access to the M5 - leading to Birmingham to the north and Bristol to the south.
