Yatton, Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, HR9

A beautiful Grade II listed country home set in glorious gardens in the heart of the Herefordshire countryside.

Description

Located in the heart of the Herefordshire countryside, Welsh Court is an outstanding Grade II listed country home set in 4.63 acres of glorious gardens and paddock.

This quintessential redbrick home is traditionally shown, with the principal accommodation set over three floors and equating to 5,512 sq. ft of living space.. Entered by way of a spacious reception hall, there are a host of reception rooms, to include a dining room, sitting room, drawing room and an attractive conservatory.

Each room enjoys their own characteristics, together with original features, natural charm, character and warmth. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of units, integrated appliances and cabinetry. Furthermore, there is a central island bar and a generous dining space. The formal dining room affords the ideal place to host social gatherings, with French doors opening to the sun terrace and landscaped garden beyond. In addition, there is a utility room, cloakroom and a cellar.

The first floor consists of three bedrooms, a family bathroom (with a connecting door to the cottage) and stairs rising to the second floor. The principal bedroom is of dual aspect and is notably spacious. Served by a beautifully appointed en suite, it has wonderful far-reaching views over the garden and beyond. The second floor has three further bedrooms together with two bathrooms. The supporting cottage/annex is a delight: ideal to be used for an income generating rental, it has an open plan sitting room/kitchen, a double bedroom and an en suite bathroom

The landscaped gardens are utterly glorious. Arguably, one of the finest in the county, it enjoys an embarrassment of riches. Principally laid to lawn, there are an abundance of deep-set herbaceous beds, mature borders, manicured box-trees, established trees, plants and shrubs. Too numerous to mention, the features and design of the garden are truly beautiful: there are a host of idyllic seating spots, themed areas, and private walking paths. The pond is breathtaking and supports local wildlife and associated eco-system.

The leisure facilities are considerable: together with a swimming pool, there is an all-weather tennis court with changing facilities.

The gravelled drive leads from the main entrance, past the house and central courtyard, sweeping to a free-standing triple-bay carport.
