Brinsop, Herefordshire HR4

***NO ONWARD CHAIN *** This beautiful house is full of period features but also has all modern comforts, and offers peace and tranquility in a stunning part of the Herefordshire countryside with panoramic views.

Although tucked away in the small village of Brinsop it still offers excellent access to a full range of amenites.

Just along the lane from the house is the 14th century, Grade I listed St George's Church, with a church service held on the first Sunday of the month.

The thriving community of Credenhill is just a 5 minute drive away and there you will find a primary school, a church, a shop with post office, a couple of restaurants and village hall.

Tillington with its fantastic gastro-pub, village shop and post office is less than 10 minutes drive away and just 15 minutes away, is the lovely black and white village of Weobley, which has a great range of eateries and shops, hairdressers and pubs. If in need of more options, a 15 minute drive from the house will take you to the vibrant city of Hereford with its full range of amenities including a mainline train station, sports facilities and stunning cathedral.

The House

Stepping through the striking front door, you are immediately captivated by the charm and period features of this house including gothic windows, cast iron radiators, beams and a log burner with a Victorian cast iron fire surround.

Originally the church school, built circa 1860, the house has been extensively updated and improved by the current owners and is an extremely lovely, well-presented and comfortable home, offering all modern amenities. However, if you wished to develop the house further the full planning permission, which is in place to extend both the house and garage, offers huge potential.

Downstairs you will find a reception hall, living room with Victorian fireplace and log burner, dining room/sun room, and a striking kitchen with separate utility. Another room, which is currently used as a snug, would make an excellent downstairs bedroom (bedroom 4), especially with a large bathroom with walk in shower nearby.

All the rooms are bright and airy, with trifold doors from the main living room and French doors from the snug/4th bedroom opening onto the beautiful gardens and countryside beyond.

On the first floor there are three good sized bedrooms and another bathroom fitted with a three-piece Laura Ashley suite, including a bath and rainfall shower above, and underfloor heating.

The light-filled master bedroom is of particular note, boasting a vaulted ceiling, an ornate radiator, handmade bespoke fitted wardrobes offering an exceptional amount of storage, and a large window with stunning views across to Credenhill Woods.

Outside

The low maintenance garden wraps around all sides of the house, with two lawned areas to the front and side (with space for a vegetable patch or rose garden if required), and a spectacular entertaining/relaxing space to the rear, accessed through a charming brick archway.

This courtyard style area was completely re-landscaped at the end of 2021 and features a porcelain tiled patio and a large composite decking area (maintenance free) with black metal railings and inset lights.

The garden is surrounded by a range of fruit trees, including apple, cherry, plum and pear and there is a tiled-roofed pergola to one corner.

There is a large wooden shed and another metal shed to the rear as well as external power sockets and two outside water taps.

Away from main roads and surrounded by fields, the house is safe for children and pets and offers fantastic walking opportunities for keen ramblers.


Garage and Workshop/Potential Annexe

The striking detached garage has been built in keeping with the character of the house, and offers space for a car, for storage or for a gym on the ground floor, with plumbing for a washing machine installed to the far end.

Accessed by external stairs, the top floor offers two separate spaces, one currently used as an office and the other as a jewellery workshop. Electricity and plumbing along with a range of kitchen units and worktop are installed.

This space offers endless possibilities for someone who works from home (940mbps fibre broadband installed), is looking for a hobby space or who is looking for annexe potential, especially with planning permission granted in Sept 2023 for a garage extension with sun terrace above.

The plant room for the water filtration system (newly installed in 2020) can be found under the garage stairs.

Please note: A new oil tank was installed in 2021 and a new Worcester external boiler was installed in 2022. The dining room extension roof was completely replaced in December 2022.
