Property Details

We are proud to present this truly extraordinary and substantial property. A five bedroom, detached family home with annex (over the garage) set in land extending to approximately thirty-four acres in the hamlet of Carey. Carey lies on the Wye River valley just under two miles from the village of Hoarwithy to the south and around seven from the larger Fownhope to the north, with the City of Hereford around nine miles away and access to the M50 only 15 minutes away. Set within the centre of its gardens with views out across the land, the property enjoys the best of both worlds:
rural peace and quiet with the conveniences of nearby villages and the city.

Approached along its own private driveway, the property offers a gravelled parking area and a triple garage to enable parking for multiple vehicles. The main entrance hall is accessed via an enclosed and fully sheltered entrance porch. A number of rooms are accessed from this limestone-floored hall including a cloakroom with wc and sink, while stairs from here lead up to the first floor galleried landing.

A drawing room to the right stretches the full depth of the house offering views out to the side and rear through some double doors to the outside. It is carpeted and has an open fire set in a marble fireplace. A second feature fireplace, housing a wood-burning stove is located in the sitting room at the opposite end of the property. This further reception space is complete with fitted bookshelves with storage cupboards under, a secondary staircase to the first floor, doors to the outside and a separate snug area with another set of double doors opening out onto the gardens.
In between these two reception rooms a study and formal dining room also lead from the entrance hall. Through to the left is where lies the kitchen/breakfast room - never has such a simple name for a room seemed so inappropriate! It is so much more. Flagstone flooring, a wall of windows to two sides, recessed ceiling spotlights, a central ceiling beam, double doors to the patio outside, space for dining and a lounge/snug area. The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of floor and wall units in a cream shaker style. The AGA has a tiled wall behind and the numerous units offer various different storage options, from open shelves, display cupboards and drawers.

An inner hallway from the kitchen leads into a hall with access to a second cloakroom and the utility room - complete with further and numerous fitted units and a sink under the window to the side.

The first floor is accessed via either of the two aforementioned staircases offering two separate upstairs living spaces - one above the original (1784) house and one above the 1950’s extension. The principle suite is in the newer part of the property and offers a separate dressing room and en-suite with double hand basins under a mirrored wall, a bidet, wc and double-sized shower cubicle with both hand-held and fixed rain shower.

Of the two further bedrooms in this side of the house, one has an en-suite shower room and all share the use of the family bathroom (which is also accessible directly from bedroom 2), complete with part-wood-panelled walls, bath, wc, hand basin and shower cubicle as well as some fitted storage units. All the bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes.

Two more bedrooms are accessed via the stairs in the sitting room, both have fitted wardrobes and share use of a shower room off the landing which has fitted cupboards offering more storage options. Further living accommodation can be found in the annex above the garage which has an open-plan kitchen/living room, dormer windows a bedroom and shower room with wc and sink. It can be directly accessed via some stairs to the rear of the detached garage which has three parking bays behind up-and-over doors to the front.

Outside, the property has plenty more to offer. A large patio area to the rear is accessible from three rooms (the kitchen, dining room and drawing room) and is partly sheltered under a glass-roofed porch. Gardens surrounding the house are full of well-established trees, shrubs and borders. The level pastureland extends to some thirty acres of fenced paddocks - all with water supply. A large barn houses nine brick-built stables, grooms facilities and a store room. The equestrian nature of the property is further enhanced by a silica sand and rubber surfaced manège of approximately 1,500 square metres.
Beautifully presented to an exceptional standard throughout and with quite literally breathtaking views out on all sides and from all the main rooms upstairs and down, this is a rare and exciting opportunity. Attempting to fully convey what is on offer here through pictures and words alone is a fruitless task, hence why viewing is most highly recommended to fully appreciate it all. We would be delighted to discuss this unique property and proposition with you further and to show you around. Please contact the branch for more details.
