Introduction - This is a really unusual property located in a semi-rural location on the outskirts of Steen's Bridge a few miles east of Leominster with large gardens and a paddock for those with a pony, some pet sheep or goats. The view from the rear is amazing and you can see for miles across the Herefordshire countryside towards Shropshire. The property itself does require some updating but in return offers well proportioned rooms and plenty of opportunity for extensions either from the ground up or by simply extending the dormers to increase the upstairs floor area. It does benefit from some double glazing, mains gas heating and has a private drainage system to a septic tank. Externally there is a garage with utility room and various outbuildings in need of restoration and comprising garage and stable but with potential to use as a workshop/studio.

On the left is a double bedroom with window to the front and side and has various built-in storage cupboards/wardrobes. Then there is a cloakroom with WC and sink and a separate bathroom with a sink and bath with shower over - these rooms could easily be reconfigured to potentially provide an additional ensuite to the bedroom.

Garage & Parking - The property is approached across a private driveway leading to the garage and parking area to the front and it also leads to a gate that provides access to the rear garden & paddock beyond. The garage has an automatic up & over door, power & light.

Gardens - Deanstone sits in the middle of its large plot which extends to around 0.6 acres and the gardens surround the property on all sides. The front garden is mainly enclosed a natural hedge and is laid to lawn with various mature shrubs & trees and pathways leading to the right hand side where there is a pond and what was previously a vegetable garden. this then extends to the large rear garden with patio, lawn, shrubs, trees and hedging which separates the garden from the paddock. Then continuing around the property is the area where there are various sheds & outbuilding and gated access from the drive which leads through to the paddock.

Paddock - Purchased a little while after the family bought the property so is on a separate title, the paddock measures a little over 1 acre and is enclosed by a mixture of natural hedging and stock fencing. Whilst the paddock can be accessed directly from the property it also has the benefit of an additional access across the adjacent field and on to a lane which then has access off the road. This is a good paddock which gently slopes away from the house and from here the full expanse of the view can be appreciated.
