Property Details

Located in the rural hamlet of Shucknall Hill is just over five miles to the east of the City of Hereford. The hamlet offers local amenities, schools and Hereford city offers a wide range of entertainment, leisure and retail options. It may be of interest, the hamlet sits with a number of Ofsted rated Good primary schools and an Outstanding secondary.

Approached via a newly tarmacadamed private lane and sitting behind a set of secure wooden gates, the property offers five bedrooms and versatile living accommodation over two floors. There is a turning area and parking space for multiple vehicles and a path leading round to an enclosed porch with a bench on other side of the front door within. This leads into the main entrance hall with its flagged flooring and under-stair storage cupboard.

A door on the right leads into the sitting room; full of original features and character. Dual aspect, with views out to the front and rear, the room also benefits from a brick-built fireplace with wood burning stove and cupboard to the side, wooden flooring, exposed timber beams and recessed ceiling spotlights.

A second, larger reception room is to the left of the entrance hall and features brand new carpets, more timber beams and a fireplace housing a coal-effect gas fire. This versatile space offers views out to the gardens via its two windows and access to a study/home office to one side and to the kitchen to the rear.

A different style of quarry flooring is a feature of the kitchen which stretches across much of the back of the house with a separate breakfast room to one side - which could also be used as a children’s play area or snug given the options for dining elsewhere. There are a range of wall and floor units offering a mixture of cupboard and drawer units, wooden worktops, a sink under one of the three windows, a range cooker with hood over and space for an integral washing machine. The room features more of the ceiling beams and recessed spotlights.
A wooden staircase in the entrance hall leads up to the landing area and access to all of the first floor rooms. The largest of the five bedrooms is dual aspect, wooden flooring has a vaulted ceiling with beams and a walk-in wardrobe. The remaining four carpeted bedrooms each have their own unique character and dimensions with two offering built-in wardrobe/storage cupboards. They all share use of the family bathroom with freestanding, roll-top bath, wc and sink, shallow-vaulted ceiling, skylight and part-wood clad walls. An adjacent family shower room also offers a wc and sink, skylight, window and tiled, shower cubicle.

The outside space is just as versatile as the inside; offering a blend of terraced gardens, lawns, a patio area adjacent to the house - for al fresco dining and entertaining, a wood store, additional storeroom - integral to the main house but accessed only from the garden; and a number of beds and borders full of established trees and shrubs. There is also a sauna and a castellated tower complete with power, light and wifi.

With its proximity to Hereford, characterful and varied features throughout together with the versatility of the spaces inside and out, this is a unique property, immaculately presented to a very high standard. There is more to see and discover and we would be delighted to discuss it with you and, perhaps, show you around - viewing is most highly recommended to fully appreciate what is on offer.
