The Downs, Bromyard, Herefordshire

Hardwick Farm is a charming home and former farmhouse, that offers almost 2, 900 sq. ft of adaptable, light-filled accommodation and a wealth of character, arranged over two floors.
The property also benefits from a generous detached annexe, with a stylish finish and which
can be used as over-flow accommodation, multi-generational living or an income stream in the form of holiday let or tenancy (subject to any necessary permissions).

The main house has exposed timber beams and various other attractive original details. The reception rooms are of good size and connect well to the excellent view. The layout works well for modern life, with a easy flow through shared spaces which link the living spaces to create an open-plan feel. The open plan kitchen/dining room sits centrally and offers fitted units to base and wall level and integrated appliances. There is a useful utility and bootroom, and a cloakroom. Also on the ground floor is a bedroom which could be used as a further sitting room; offering flexibility.

The ground floor layout provides the opportunity to use this area of the house as self-contained, additional accommodation if required. The first floor is accessed via two separate staircases, providing more options on use. The main stairs rise to three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The second set rise from the ground floor bedroom (could be a sitting room) to a bedroom suite with dressing area and bathroom.

The superb annexe provides over 1,200 sq. ft of
additional accommodation across two floors. At its core is the wonderful open-plan living area, with a comfortable sitting room, kitchen and dining area. There is one bedroom with its own dressing room and en suite bathroom to the ground floor. The first floor provides a study - which could be used as a second bedroom - and an additional bathroom.
