Much Birch is a popular village located between the cathedral city of Hereford to the north and the market town of Ross-on-Wye to the south. There is a local primary school within walking distance, as well as a doctor's surgery, village hall, bus stop and two pubs. Slightly further away in the village of Wormelow is a well-stocked village store, and a Steiner school at Much Dewchurch. Hereford and Ross-on-Wye both offer a huge array of options for schooling, leisure and shopping, and there are beautiful walks in the nearby Aconbury Woods. The River Wye, Malvern Hills and Brecon Beacons are all within easy reach, with access to road networks from Ross-on-Wye allowing for easy access to Cardiff, Bristol and the West Midlands.
As you enter the property, you're greeted by a lovely entrance hallway, with beautiful flagstone style flooring, an intricately bespoke carved oak staircase to first floor and archway doors leading into the various ground floor rooms.
One of the most impressive parts of the house is undoubtedly the living-dining room. This incredible space has been thoughtfully designed and offers an atmosphere reminiscent of a chapel, with stained glass window and, with high vaulted ceiling looking up to the galleried library above. There is an impressive hand-carved stone fireplace with Franklin woodburning stove, exposed beams, windows to front and rear aspect and steps down to a spacious dining area.
From the living room, an archway leads through to a delightful garden room, with double French doors leading outside and offering a delightful outlook. This cosy space would be ideal for a reading or hobbies room.
You then enter the kitchen-breakfast room, which is finished with high quality oak units and black granite worktops, a central island, exposed beams and attractive light-stone coloured floor tiling. There is a Rangemaster cooker with gas hob, Belfast sink, space for fridge-freezer and integrated dishwasher.
To the far end of the room opposite the kitchen is a breakfast area, which is located within the hexagonal turret', and offers a triple aspect through chapel style windows over the countryside views beyond the property boundary.
Just off the kitchen is a utility room with wall mounted LPG-fired Worcester boiler, additional worksurfaces and units, space and plumbing for appliances and a door leading outside to the vegetable garden. There is also access to a W.C with wash basin.
Back to the entrance hallway, the impressively carved staircase leads you to the first floor, with access to the principal bedroom suite, the main family bathroom, a second double bedroom and the library-study.
The principal suite is impressive in size and style, boasting a walk-in wardrobe and a tastefully finished en-suite with walk in open shower, W.C and stone bowl-style wash basin. The far end of the bedroom features the upper portion of the turret, currently used to house a home gym. There are windows to front and rear aspect, and access outside to a balcony and decking area with beautiful views.
The second bedroom is a bright, spacious double with rear aspect window and a modern en-suite shower room. In addition, the first floor also boasts a luxurious family bathroom with roll top bath, stone bowl wash basin, W.C, exposed beams and chapel style window to the rear aspect.
Further to the first floor is a truly special part of the house; a beautiful office-library, complete with high vaulted ceiling and a galleried view down to the main reception area. There are extensive fitted bookcases around the room, dark wood flooring and plenty of space in the centre for desks or seating. This room oozes atmosphere and offers many potential uses.
The intricately bespoke carved oak staircase continues to the top floor, where you can find three additional double bedrooms, some offering fitted storage space, as well as a shower/WC and large walk-in storage cupboard.
Outside - The property enjoys a plot of approximately one third of an acre, with the principal garden areas to the rear of the house.

To the rear boundary, you can enjoy absolutely stunning countryside views, taking in seemingly endless rolling fields and woodland. To the front of the property, you have an automated gated driveway with video intercom, ample parking for numerous vehicles, as well as a detached double garage.
