The property forms part of the small hamlet of Monkhide which is situated on the eastern side of the Cathedral City of Hereford and offers easy access to the main Hereford to Worcester Road. Local services are available at Newtown Crossroads with a garage and store with more extensive facilities at the market town of Ledbury and also the Cathedral Cities of Hereford and Worcester.

The property is entered via a welcoming entrance hall, laid with terracotta tiled flooring and enjoying a large picture window overlooking the inner courtyard garden. A staircase with solid wood balustrading rises to the first floor, while an open cloak area provides practical space for coats and shoes.

The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan living space, a superb room defined by exposed oak beams and vaulted ceilings which create both height and character. Large skylights and expansive windows flood the room with natural light, enhancing the sense of space and openness. The layout has been thoughtfully arranged to provide clearly defined areas for relaxing, dining and entertaining, while maintaining an easy flow throughout.

A striking brick inglenook fireplace with log-burning stove forms a natural focal point and adds warmth and atmosphere during the winter months. The blend of exposed timbers and contemporary finishes gives the room both depth and balance. A spiral staircase with timber treads and metal detailing rises to the first floor, providing an eye-catching architectural feature. Generous seating areas are positioned to take full advantage of views across the surrounding gardens, creating a seamless connection between inside and out.

The dining area sits adjacent, subtly defined by exposed timber uprights, offering a more intimate setting while remaining open to the main living space.

The kitchen/breakfast room is well proportioned and fitted with bespoke wooden cabinetry, a substantial breakfast bar and a Rangemaster cooker with extractor over. There is provision for a dishwasher behind a removable cabinet, and a serving hatch connects through to the dining area. An external door provides direct access to the driveway.

A separate study/reception room offers excellent versatility, featuring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and dual aspect windows overlooking the gardens — ideal for home working or as an additional sitting room.

The utility room incorporates a plumbed sink, space for laundry appliances and freestanding storage, together with a ground floor WC.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom is a spacious retreat with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and built-in storage, illuminated by twin skylights. A shower room positioned off the mezzanine landing serves two of the bedrooms and includes a thermostatic corner shower, WC, wash basin and heated towel rail.

There are three further double bedrooms, all enjoying vaulted ceilings and generous natural light, most retaining characterful exposed beams. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising panelled bath with shower over, vanity basin, WC and towel rail.

Outside

The property sits within approximately three acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. Formal hedging, mature trees and well-established planting create a private and picturesque setting, while a sun terrace provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining.

A sweeping driveway offers extensive parking and leads to a detached two-storey double garage. A particularly special feature of the property is that part of the Herefordshire & Gloucester Canal runs through the grounds and is included within the title, together with the adjoining towpath. A private seating area beside the canal provides a tranquil space to relax, while a bridge crosses over to an expansive paddock of approximately 2.4 acres.

The paddock offers excellent potential for equestrian or lifestyle use and includes a substantial workshop extending to approximately 1,000 sq ft, providing generous storage and further scope for a variety of uses.

*Agent Notes:
- The property has an easement, allowing the neighbouring property and farmer to access their paddock, over the canal bridge
- The canal bridge is to be maintained by the Old Barn although an approach to the Canal Trust could be made by a purchaser to take on the stewardship
