Situation and Description
The delightful farmhouse lies on a country lane on the outskirts of this small rural village which itself is set away well away from main roads and is surrounded by glorious Herefordshire countryside.

Bristol, Birmingham and Cardiff are all under 2 hours away and London just over 3 hours.

This exquisite 15th-century farmhouse, nestled in the heart of rural Herefordshire, offers a rare opportunity to own a slice of history with modern comforts. Set within approximately 9 acres of rolling countryside, the property boasts far-reaching views towards the dramatic Hay Bluff, creating a truly idyllic setting.

The main residence exudes period charm, showcasing original timber beams, stonework, and inglenook fireplaces, while being sympathetically updated to suit contemporary family living. Arranged over two floors, the house features six generous bedrooms, many with character features and countryside vistas, and three elegant reception rooms, perfect for both entertaining and quiet relaxation.

At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen and dining room, designed for both function and warmth. With a traditional farmhouse lay-out, a 4-oven Aga, plenty of fitted cupboards and ample space for family gatherings.

Outside, the property is complemented by a range of traditional outbuildings, ideal for stabling, workshops, or conversion (subject to planning). The landscaped gardens are a true highlight, thoughtfully designed with mature planting, seating areas, and an ornamental pond, all positioned to take full advantage of the breathtaking panoramic views over the Black Mountains.

From here an oak framed porch and front door lead into the entrance hall and a spacious sitting room with plenty of character, including exposed beams, oak flooring, fireplace with fitted wood burner, a dual aspect and giving access to the gardens.
