The sale offers buyers a rare opportunity to purchase an unspoilt small farm with two dwellings, approximately 22.33 acres of pasture and an extensive range of traditional stone and more modern steel framed buildings.

Location
The property is situated in an attractive very rural location approximately eight miles west of Ross on Wye and fourteen miles south of Hereford. The property is situated about a mile to the west of the A4137 road, which connects into the A40 at Whitchurch to the south and thence to the M50 and wider motorway network at Ross. The M50 motorway is about 7 miles distant via the intervening lanes or 11 miles by main road.

Description
The farm is set in open countryside with extensive rural views to the north west.

The farmhouse is not listed and benefits from oil fired central heating. The roof was re-slated in the 1980s. With modernisation the house has great potential to create an attractive good sized family home, without being restricted by any listing requirements.

Trehumfrey Farmhouse is a detached stone and slate roofed 3 storey house, dating back to the 1600s, and originally understood to have been a coaching inn. There are gardens to the sides and rear, the house is set above The Garren river and has attractive rural views across the permanent pasture that runs down to the riverside frontage.

Barnfield Bungalow
Barnfield is a detached late 1960s three bedroom extended brick and concrete tile roofed bungalow, located to the north of the farmhouse and farm buildings.

The accommodation comprises lounge, playroom, kitchen, utility, separate w/c, bathroom with bath, washbasin and w/c, and three bedrooms. There is a basic timber and glass conservatory on the front. The bungalow has gardens to front side and rear and a single timber garage to the rear. Heating is by electric storage heaters.

The bungalow is assumed to have been built on agricultural planning restrictions, but no documentation is currently available.

Outbuildings
The farm buildings comprise an extensive range of traditional and modern farm buildings to the north of the farmhouse. The farm was developed as a dairy unit in the 1980s by the Ball family, who constructed a range of steel framed buildings at that time on the west side of the farmyard. The buildings provide a useful opportunity for conversion to alternative uses (subject to necessary planning consents).
