Description
Set in the heart of some of Herefordshire’s most picturesque countryside, this property in the sought-after village of Woolhope offers a rare opportunity to secure a generous plot.
The village of Woolhope enjoys a peaceful yet connected setting, surrounded by rolling fields, ancient woodland, and panoramic views – a true escape from the pressures of modern life. Just a few minutes down the lane lies Fownhope, a thriving village with everything you could want for day-to-day living: a popular village shop and post office, an excellent GP surgery, Wye Leisure health club and spa, and a selection of well-regarded pubs and eateries.
For those needing to stay connected, the location is remarkably practical. The Cathedral city of Hereford is just 20 minutes by car and offers a wide range of shopping, dining, and cultural options, along with direct rail links to London Paddington. The M50 at Ross-on-Wye or Ledbury opens the door to wider motorway networks, making travel to Bristol, Gloucester, Cheltenham, or Birmingham straightforward.
Families are well catered for, with the property falling within catchment for Bishops school in Hereford. Prestigious independent options, such as Hereford Cathedral School and Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools, are also within easy reach.
With its generous plot and desirable village setting, this is an increasingly rare opportunity to shape a home to your own vision, in one of Herefordshire’s most charming and well-connected rural communities.
