Location
The small village of Broad Oak is tucked away in a peaceful corner of south Herefordshire. The neighbouring village of Garway, two miles away, offers an assortment of quality local amenities including a welcoming country pub - The Garway Moon Inn, which dates back to the 18th century and overlooks the Garway Common; a pretty recreation area. The village also includes a primary school, which is rated as 'Good' by Ofsted. The nearby summit of Garway Hill is a popular walking destination within Herefordshire as the peak offers far-reaching panoramic views of rugged landscapes.
Broad Oak is around a ten-minute drive from the Welsh market town of Monmouth and a 15-minute drive from the English border town of Ross-on-Wye. Both towns offer a variety of supermarkets, shops, independently owned boutiques, restaurants, bars, reputable schools, and leisure facilities, but it is worth noting that Monmouth also includes private schooling options. In addition, both towns give easy access to the A40 and other major road networks.
The cathedral city of Hereford, around 20 minutes away by car, also offers a wider selection of supermarkets, dining and leisure facilities.

The home at a glance
The property is set within a small development of converted buildings within a former dairy farm, each of which is one-of-a-kind and finished to an impeccable standard. The barn has been excellently presented in a timelessly elegant neutral colour scheme with Little Greene paint, which is complemented by the engineered oak internal doors.
The main entrance leads into a spacious reception hall, which sets a splendid scene for the stylish residence. Plenty of light cascades into the expanse and a spectacular modern chandelier presents a grand focal point. An engineered oak floor flows through into the open-plan living space, the heart of the home. This dual-aspect area includes two sets of aluminium bi-fold doors which lead out to the garden and exhibit the glorious rural surroundings, with Garway Hill and The Skirrid taking centre stage.
In terms of practicalities, the high-end German kitchen includes a range of base-and-wall mounted charcoal grey units with highly resistant veined Dekton worktops and fully integrated Neff appliances including a dishwasher, a full-height fridge, a full-height freezer, two ovens, a five-zone induction hob with a pop-up extractor fan and a 1 + 1/2 sink with mixer tap. In one corner, a door opens into a walk-in larder, which offers a wealth of storage space.
The separate utility room includes a door to the driveway, space and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, an additional sink, and a cupboard which houses the recently fitted Worcester boiler*.
The ground floor also includes a beautifully bright dual-aspect room which could serve as either a snug, a study or a fifth bedroom which could offer comfortable and convenient accommodation to a less mobile family member, particularly as there is an attractive shower room directly opposite. A large walk-in dual-headed shower, wall-hung WC, basin and illuminated mirror are all framed by a striking marble floor and tiling.
An oak staircase with glass balustrade leads to a galleried landing which enjoys an elevated view over the surrounding countryside and across to May Hill.
On this level of the home, there are two contenders for the master bedroom. The first includes a characterful pitched ceiling and a chic en-suite shower room which includes a walk-in dual-headed shower, a basin, a WC, an illuminated mirror and a heated towel rail. The second option for the master bedroom also offers an en-suite shower room with a similar set-up but is presented in a darker colour scheme. There is also a room with a vaulted ceiling which sits between the bedroom and the en-suite shower room, which may be suited as a dressing room, library or private sitting room.
Of the other two bedrooms, both include pitched ceilings and elevated views towards Garway Hill and The Skirrid. These are served by the family bathroom which includes a bath with a dual-headed shower, a countertop basin, a WC, an illuminated mirror and a heated towel rail. Three built-in alcoves present attractive storage space.
Outside, the wrap-around garden is enclosed by a closed-board fence and includes a level lawn, an Indian sandstone patio, external power points and a hot and cold water supply. In terms of parking, there is a gravel driveway which gives spaces for two vehicles, an EV charging point and a communal parking area opposite the property, giving a total of eight further spaces.
