Eaton Bishop, Hereford, Herefordshire, HR2 9QF

*TWO IMPRESSIVE PROPERTIES* The principal residence has been thoughtfully designed as an upside-down house, maximising natural light and far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. The result is an exceptional contemporary barn conversion of real architectural presence and versatility, extending to over 6,500 sq ft and set within private grounds near the highly regarded village of Eaton Bishop. The property comprises a beautifully executed five-bedroom main house, a sweeping driveway, and a substantial detached annexe with garage complex.

Defined by volume, light and craftsmanship, the design successfully balances striking modern interventions with the integrity of the original structure, creating a home of both presence and refinement. It has been carefully considered for modern, multi-generational living.

Main House

A striking double-height atrium forms the architectural heart of the house, framed by exposed oak and steel, extensive glazing, and a sculptural open-tread staircase. This impressive space establishes an immediate sense of scale while drawing natural light deep into the interior.

The principal reception room continues this theme, offering a vaulted space with 14ft ceilings, exposed trusses, wide-board oak flooring and a suspended log burner - both elegant and comfortable. The kitchen/dining room is equally well considered, designed as a highly functional yet sociable space. It features exposed brickwork, bespoke cabinetry in soft neutral tones, and integrated appliances including a Miele dishwasher, Samsung oven and grill, induction hob with extractor, and space for an American-style fridge/freezer. A substantial central island anchors the room, while full-width glazing and bi-fold doors open onto a balcony with expansive countryside views.

Well-proportioned bedroom accommodation is arranged on the ground floor to ensure both privacy and flexibility. The principal suite is particularly well appointed, with a dressing area, a refined en suite featuring twin vanity units and a walk-in shower (with plumbing in place for a bath if desired), and direct access to the terrace and garden. Four further double bedrooms are served by a well-finished family bathroom and additional shower room. A utility/boot room completes the accommodation, all executed with consistent attention to detail.

A mezzanine level overlooking the atrium provides an additional versatile living space, enhancing the home's architectural cohesion. Throughout, the specification is of the highest standard. Adjacent to the house, a timber car port accommodates several vehicles and incorporates a Zappi EV charging point. An external staircase leads to a flexible first-floor room, currently used as a home office.

Annexe

A substantial detached annexe further enhances the property's versatility, offering extensive ancillary accommodation. It currently comprises a large open-plan living space, 2-3 bedrooms, and plumbing provision for en suite facilities, allowing straightforward creation of a fully self-contained unit. This space is ideally suited to extended family, guest accommodation or potential income generation.

Additional rooms above provide further flexibility for a range of uses, including an office, studio or gym space. The oak-framed triple garage includes power, lighting and electric roller doors, and houses a 45-panel solar PV system with 9.5 kW battery storage.

Grounds

The property is approached via electric gates, opening onto a generous driveway with ample parking. The gardens extend to approximately 0.9 acres and are predominantly laid to lawn, enjoying a private setting with open views across adjoining countryside. Architectural lighting enhances the exterior after dark, while mature hedging provides a good degree of privacy.

The property benefits from underfloor heating throughout, double glazing, LPG central heating, fibre broadband, mains water, electricity and private drainage.
