Description
The registered smallholding also affords a lucrative business opportunity; there are two semi-detached cottages within the grounds, Howle Hideaway and Valley View, both of which are established holiday lets.
Location:
The slopes of Howle Hill, criss-crossed by country walks, overlooks the famed Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the patchwork fields beyond. The closest village, Walford, is highly sought-after. Within its centre, there is Walford Nursery and Primary School, which attained an 'Outstanding' grade during Ofsted's most recent inspection in the summer of 2024. Also within Walford, there is The Mill Race, a family-run restaurant with an excellent reputation, as well as a village hall and a recreation ground.
Walford lies approximately two miles south of Ross-on-Wye, a picturesque market town famed for being the birthplace of British tourism, due to its spectacular scenery; Ross sits on red sandstone cliffs above the glorious River Wye. Its high street offers an assortment of shops and independently owned boutiques, a range of restaurants, welcoming pubs, various leisure facilities, plus access to a network of countryside and riverside walks.
Slightly further afield in the market town of Monmouth and the cathedral city of Hereford, there are further amenities, including private schooling options.
Ideal for Equestrian Purposes:
Edgehill Farm boasts principally flat and well-draining grazing land, with one open-fronted field shelter. The grounds encircle the property; therefore, much of the acreage is visible from the home.
There are three main fenced paddocks, two smaller turnout paddocks, and every field is equipped with a water supply. Subject to the necessary planning consents, there is plenty of level ground to install an arena.
A stone-built workshop - over 580 square feet - offers a fantastic opportunity to design a well-ventilated American barn setup with at least four integral stables.
There is plenty of parking and turning space for a horsebox and other agricultural-style vehicles, but it is worth noting that there is also very good hacking straight from the property.
The property is also well located for various show centres.

Edge Hill Farm:
The principal farmhouse is a peaceful country home that exudes character and charm. The front garden sets a wonderful first impression, the manicured expanse includes a raised terrace, which is complete with an old bread oven, presenting a private space for occupants to enjoy the serene setting.
The main entrance opens into a capacious reception hall. On the left-hand side, two steps lead down into a beautifully bright sitting room, which grants a show-stopping entertaining space. Plenty of natural light cascades into the dual-aspect space through full-height windows and French doors. There is a plethora of striking features which include an inglenook fireplace with a log-burning stove, exposed beams, an oak floor and arrow-slit windows.
There is a second reception room on the ground floor, which also includes a log-burning stove. The dual-aspect space features beams and a set of French doors out to a courtyard garden.
The heart of the home is a farmhouse-style dining kitchen, an inviting area that carries an Aga - and during the colder months, this reputable cooker radiates an ambient warmth. There are handcrafted, bespoke shaker units with wooden worktops and a Belfast sink with a mixer tap. A door in the corner leads into a generous utility room with provision for fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and a tumble dryer.
The first floor accommodates four double bedrooms, all of which enjoy excellent elevated views over the spellbinding scenery, but the master is a truly jaw-dropping space. It bears a vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers and trusses. A series of full-height windows and French doors lead to a Juliet balcony and frame an unspoiled view over the immaculate front garden and the rolling hills beyond. Wooden fitted cupboards wrap around one corner of the room, granting ample storage space, and a carved arch showcases the original arrow-slit windows. The adjoining tiled en-suite bathroom includes a double-ended bath as well as a separate large walk-in shower.
The second bedroom also benefits from having a spacious en-suite bathroom, which is complete with a four-piece suite. The other two bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, which has a bath, a step-in shower, a WC and a basin.
Howle Hideaway and Valley View:
The two semi-detached stone-built cottages both offer high-quality accommodation. They each contain the contemporary fixtures and fittings that are desirable for modern life, but they also retain an inviting and rustic cottage ambience.
Each of the one-bedroom properties carries an open-plan living space with a fitted kitchen and lounge areas with feature fireplaces, which accommodate wood-burning stoves - a staple of country life. They also include ground-floor shower rooms and spiral staircases that lead to the double bedrooms.
In terms of outdoor space, both properties have individual patio terraces, which serve as ideal spots for alfresco dining.
