ASHCROFT stands on rising ground just a few hundred yards south of the stone built market house in Ross town centre and whilst the property has its principal façade to the front, most people would in fact approach the property by car from a quiet lane to the rear of the property.

The property comprises a stone built, three storey detached house constructed in 1905 and exhibiting many of the fine period features from that era.

One of the first things that strikes one on entry to the property is the amount of natural light which penetrates into the spacious, central portion of the house comprising the reception hall and landings. This is largely because of the huge windows to the south east.

All the principal rooms lead off these central circulation areas, the ground floor reception hall thus opening into the three reception rooms, each of which have period fireplaces, high ceilings and large bow or bay windows. There is also a spacious ground floor cloaks and WC and a beautifully appealing and practical kitchen/breakfast room with superb travertine flooring and a wide range of appliances.

Off the stairwell and/or first floor landing one gains access not only to the three principal bedrooms, but also to three shower or bathroom facilities.

Accessed off the second floor landing are two further generous bedrooms, each with doors to large eaves storage spaces.

Throughout the property much attention has been paid to textures, tones and period detail such as stained glass work, hardwood parquet flooring, picture rails, plate racks, mouldings and finials.

Positioned beneath the ground floor is an excellent two room cellar, ideal for workshop or storage, whilst to the south east elevation is a thoughtfully placed flagstone sun terrace and adjacent lawn, fringed by a wide variety of acers and other shrubs. This particularly secluded area receives a high degree of available sunlight, and is a splendid place to relax and observe the beauty of gardens, greenery and wildlife.
