Land for sale

Watling Street, Ross-On-Wye HR9

An exceptional opportunity awaits visionary developers and designers: A fully consented site (Ref. P251634/F) for three high‑end, architecturally striking detached homes, each extending to over 2,000 sq ft with detached double garages.
Set discreetly just off Watling Street, this small collection has the potential to become one of the area’s most desirable residential addresses - a place where thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship and elevated living come together in a prestigious, limited‑edition development of only three individually designed properties.
This is more than a build - it is a chance to create a collection of homes with real presence and long‑term value in a location consistently celebrated as one of the most picturesque and characterful towns in England.
Opportunities to acquire plots of this calibre in Ross‑on‑Wye are rare. The scheme combines a convenient, well‑connected position with a calm, semi‑rural character in the only English town located within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The agent will be happy to advise of potential sale values.

Location: A Town Renowned for Beauty, Culture and Outdoor Living
Ross‑on‑Wye stands proudly as the only English town within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - a landscape rich in colour, history and sweeping riverside views.
A former centre of skilled craftsmanship and traditional industries, Ross has retained its charm while evolving into a vibrant, welcoming community. Its elegant Georgian architecture, bustling independent shops and striking landmarks - including the soaring steeple of St Mary’s Church and the iconic white façade of The Royal Hotel - define a perfect blend of town and countryside living.
Residents and visitors alike are drawn to Ross for its lifestyle: Canoeing along the meandering Wye, cycling through wooded valleys, fishing in tranquil waters, or enjoying artisan cider in one of the many characterful pubs. With a population of around 10,000, it offers both a sense of intimacy and lively activity - underpinning a persistent demand for high‑quality homes.
Ideally positioned for effortless travel, Watling Street offers quick access to key road links including the M50, A449 and M5. The A40 provides a smooth route towards both the West Midlands and South Wales, making regional commuting simple and convenient.
