Vendors comments  We fell in love with the Forest around 17 years ago and decided we wanted a weekend base there. We found 3 Church Road looking very sorry for itself and bought it and have spent several years improving it to make a comfortable home. The house dates back 400 years and as such does not have the modern insulation required of modern houses. Having said that the walls are 18 inches thick and our energy bills are half the national average. The combination of modern double glazing and wood burning stoves make it a warm, cosy home with wonderful views from the terraced garden and easy access to the forest and all its amenities. We lived in the house permanently for 9 years and having moved into Ross-on-Wye, we still enjoy all the forest has to offer.
