Canon Bridge, Madley, Hereford

Situated close to the village of Madley, this wonderful period home enjoys a secluded and exceptionally scenic location. There are walks right from your front door, leading across fields and alongside the beautiful River Wye. The village of Madley has a popular gastropub, primary school, village hall and church, as well as a bus stop.

The owners of Fields Place have done a truly outstanding job of sympathetically updating the internal accommodation, whilst managing to retain an authentic sense of the atmosphere for the periods in which the house was built.

You enter the house via a beautiful, warm and welcoming entrance hallway, with woodburning stove to the corner, exposed floorboards, ceiling timbers, a staircase leading down to the cellar and a window to the rear garden.

From the entrance hall, you walk through into a wonderfully bright lounge, which enjoys a lovely outlook to the rear gardens via a bay window. There is a woodburning stove set within a timber surround fireplace, exposed floorboards and beams, and fitted storage shelving and cupboards.

A small inner passageway from the lounge leads into what is perhaps the most impressive and unexpected rooms of the house; a grand Georgian drawing room, with high ceilings and large sash windows to front and rear aspect. This is a wonderful space for entertaining guests, and also offers a large walk in storage cupboard and a separate staircase leading up to one of the larger bedrooms.

The farmhouse style kitchen lies to the opposite end of the house, and is exceptionally spacious, with room for a large breakfast or dining table. There are modern pastel grey units with timber worksurfaces, a Rangemaster cooker and space for a fridge-freezer, with two windows looking out to the front gardens.

From the kitchen, a door leads to the rear lobby, with utility area, walk in pantry, a small workshop and cloak room with W.C and wash basin.

From the workshop, a staircase leads up to a very spacious room above, offering potential for a multitude of possible uses, such as a home gym, music studio or additional guest accommodation.

An attractive dark wood staircase from the entrance hallway leads to the first floor landing. From here, you have five very spacious bedrooms and two beautifully finished bathrooms.

To the west side of the first floor, you have a lovely double bedroom with double aspect windows and glorious views over the rear gardens and countryside beyond. In addition, you have access down to the drawing room via the second staircase and a walk in storage cupboard.

This bedroom gives access to the first bathroom, which is also accessible from the landing in a Jack and Jill' style. This beautifully upgraded bathroom features a roll top bath enjoying countryside views, as well as wash basin, W.C and two Victorian style radiators.

The second bedroom is equally impressive, with large bay window overlooking the gardens and views beyond, a cast iron feature fireplace and storage cupboard with shelving.




Continuing towards the east end of the first floor, you have an additional three spacious double bedrooms, each enjoying a front aspect over the garden pond and countryside beyond.

The second bathroom is a real wow factor, having been thoughtfully and tastefully upgraded, with a range of quirky and unique features. There is a large walk ins shower cubicle to the centre, W.C and bowl wash basin set within a rustic wooden unit. There are exposed floorboards and brick walls with wooden beams running through them.

Outside - The property is approached by two five bar gates accessing a semi-circular In-out driveway surrounding a central lawn with flower beds and a small wildlife pond, which attracts a huge array of wildlife, including newts and frogs. The frontage of the house gives a beautiful first impression, with creeping roses and a red brick wall framing it to one side.

To the rear is a substantial paved terrace and a large lawn leading to an original Ha Ha' with excellent views beyond over classic Herefordshire countryside. The garden is home to numerous mature trees and shrubs including Yew, Norway Spruce, Sycamore, Sweet and Horse Chestnut. There is a private orchard to one side, with space for grazing or a vegetable garden, there is a large 16'x10' greenhouse and a large wooden shed/workshop; and a log store. The overall grounds extend to approximately 1.22 acres.

Planning permission was granted for a detached garage on the portion of land adjacent to the garden. This planning permission expires in May 2025, however is likely to be granted again.
