Property Details

Situated in the Herefordshire village of Kingsland, around four miles to the west of Leominster, is this Grade II listed, six/seven bedroom family home with outbuildings and gardens. Approached through electric gates, via a wide driveway passing by the outbuildings and gardens, the main property is an imposing presence standing at three stories in height.

The main front door leads into the entrance hallway with its wooden flooring and stairs to the first floor. The history of the property is immediately on display in the form of a period door ahead of you complete with stained glass panel. To your left is the main reception room room with a bay window overlooking the front, high ceiling (a feature common to the whole house), ornate cornicing, carpeted flooring and feature fireplace with marble surround and wood-burning stove.

On the opposite side of the hall is another reception room which is currently used as a dining room. This has the same dimensions as the lounge and shares other features such as the bay window, cornicing and fireplace. Being so similar, these rooms are clearly interchangeable highlighting the versatility of the accommodation available. The main difference with the dining room is that it has direct access to the kitchen which can also be accessed through the aforementioned period door from the hall.

The kitchen features a multitude of floor and wall units with oak and granite worktops. There is space in one set of cupboards for an American-style, double fridge/freezer. There are two sinks, one under the window and one set into the central island which also offers further granite and oak worktops and a breakfast bar with room for two stools on either side. Various integral appliances include a dishwasher, washing machine, range cooker and wine fridge. Some of the wall units have glass doors and lighting inside for displaying glassware and crockery and some are currently in use as bookshelves for all those cookery books!
Separate to but also a part of the kitchen is the adjacent garden room. Accessed via open spaces either side of the range cooker section of the kitchen, this is a very special feature of the property. An ideal entertaining or dining space, it comes complete with two doors to the outside, multiple windows letting in lots of natural light, an exposed red brick chimney breast housing a multi-fuel stove, two bespoke Murano chandeliers and wooden flooring mirroring that of the kitchen. There is a door to a cloakroom with wc and sink and one giving access to the utility/boiler room. Another door opens onto a set of stairs down to the basement rooms.

The stairs back in the entrance hall take you up to the first floor and the galleried landing opposite an arched window. The principal bedroom has a window overlooking the front garden, fitted wardrobes and ensuite shower room. This has a fully enclosed and tiled shower cubicle to one end, two sinks and wc. The second bedroom on this floor also has fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room with sink and wc. Also accessed from the landing is a storage cupboard and a study with fitted shelving, cupboards and desk in front of the window with its lovely views.

Another set of stairs from the landing lead up to the second floor with another three bedrooms. All of these rooms are good-sized doubles and have fitted wardrobes with one also featuring an ensuite shower room. The other two rooms benefit from the use of the family bathroom with double shower, freestanding feature bath, sink and wc.

The basement (formerly the cellar) has been converted into a highly versatile space. Two separate areas are divided by a hallway with one currently in use as a bedroom and one as a reception room. The possibilities for these spaces are endless depending on your requirements - home cinema, play room or office are just a few ideas.

Back outside and the double electric gates can be controlled via an intercom system for your convenience. Immediately on your left as you pass through the gates is the double garage/open car port with workshop to one side. The next outbuilding along the drive is currently set up as a gym but has myriad other uses and is accessed via double doors to the front and a single door to the side.

Al fresco dining and outside entertaining spaces come in the form of patio areas at the front of the main house and a courtyard beyond. The garden is mostly laid to lawn and is enclosed by a combination of brick wall, fencing and Laurel hedging. There are a number of flower beds and established trees and shrubs.

Words and pictures alone could not ever properly do this property justice. It is immaculately presented throughout and has been lovingly and carefully looked after by its current owners. It now stands ready to present its new owners with new opportunities and viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate what is on offer.
