Lambs Cross

Location & Description
Lambs Cross stands on the southern outskirts of the well served village of Gorsley, some 5 miles east of the market and tourist town of Ross on Wye and approx. 9 miles west of the cathedral city of Gloucester.
The property occupies a dominant location on the brow of a hill set in approx. 2 1/2 acres of gardens and pastures. A number of mature deciduous trees close by lend a wonderful ambience to the location. Views extend across adjacent countryside towards May Hill and are outstanding.
A wide, splayed tarmacadam approach opens through a wooden gate onto a gravelled Cotswold stone driveway, passing through the meticulous maintained lawns with delightful octagonal summer house to the right. The property has a most attractive stone façade, and the accommodation comprises three reception rooms, four bedrooms and two bathrooms, the nature of the accommodation being of Cottage style proportions as opposed to vast rooms.
Apart from the gardens and land, one of the particular features of Lambs Cross is the extensive number of most versatile outbuildings, those closest to the house comprising a workshop and double garage, whilst immediately beyond a gravelled parking/circulation area is the superb triple garage block, the property perhaps thus appealing to those with hobbies which tend towards the mechanical!
Although not currently used for equestrian purposes, the three fenced paddocks would lend themselves well to those who have horses, and the nature of the outbuildings is such that the triple garage block could easily be adapted to become stables.
All in all, a property of exceptional appeal situated in a quiet, peaceful, yet most accessible location with the M50 less than three miles away. In detail the property comprises:

A splayed, tarmacadam approach opens through wide double wooden gates onto a gravelled driveway leading up towards the front of the most attractive stone façade. To the right of the driveway is a beautifully maintained lawn, fringed by, and interspersed with shrubs and flower beds, species including Cotinus, Mexican Orange Blossom, Fine Cut Acer, Hydrangea, Roses, Variegated Holly, Twisted Willow, Rowan, Crocosmia and many others.

Trees fringing the boundary include a lovely group of mature Silver Birch trees and Purple Acer, Prunus and a variety of other young trees.

Positioned adjacent a Paved Sun Terrace comprising paving stones and brick paviours, is the Glazed Octagonal Summer House positioned under a conical roof, and through whose windows one enjoys a delightful outlook across the paddocks and countryside nearby.

Positioned immediately to the right of the dwelling is a Double Garage/Workshop Block of overall max. external dimensions approx. 26' x 18' and is of reconstructed stone and blockwork construction under a double pitched tiled roof. Individual up and over doors lead to the garages with an open way between same, enabling access to the workshop/storage area from which there are two additional pedestrian doors to the exterior, one giving access to the Rear Lawned Garden, with access to the unmade lane, and stone wall boundary. This garage block has the “potential” (subject to all necessary consents) to provide additional accommodation. A hatch in the workshop area has a foldaway aluminium ladder giving access to the excellent first floor storage area in the roof apex thereover. Fluorescent lighting and ample power points.

Directly in front of this pair of garages is a paved, gently sloping approach forecourt.

Beyond the aforementioned garages is a Gravelled Parking Area, with sufficient space for two further vehicles, a pedestrian gate enabling access to an unmade lane running immediately behind the rear boundary.

To the south of this parking area is a Triple Garage Block. This block of garages is of overall max external dimensions approx. 30'6 x 18'6, and has an excellent concrete base and is of sound timber construction under a double pitch, composite slate roof. The block has three sets of double wooden doors opening to front, and comprises garaging for three vehicles with fluorescent lighting, power points and significant storage space in the first floor apex roof area above.

To the south of same is the Productive Vegetable Section approx. 20' x 15', with a large Bay tree to the far end. Nearby is a wooden vehicular and pedestrian gate giving further access onto the aforementioned unmade lane. Nearby, partly screened by an old Apple tree, is an Aluminium Framed Greenhouse approx. 8' x 6' complete with guttering and water butts adjacent.

There are further Apple and Cherry trees nearby, together with further neatly mown areas of lawn.

Positioned against the far hedge boundary is a Further Outbuilding. This outbuilding is of primarily timber and corrugated iron construction and currently comprises dog kennels, but could be used for other purposes.

A vehicular gate nearby opens through to Paddock Number One which extends in a gently sloping fashion down towards two mature Perry Pear trees and to the upper corner of this paddock is a Substantial Wooden Outbuilding, formerly a chicken house, and being of max. external dimensions approx. 30' x 18' and is primarily of timber construction under a double pitch, corrugated roof.
