Upper House Farm Walterstone, Herefordshire

Enjoying open views to the Black Mountains, a very comfortable farmhouse in a tucked away location, well supported by practical outbuildings, along with gardens, orchard and land extending in all to approximately 15 acres.

Situation and Description
Set well away from main roads and forming part of the scattered community of Walterstone, Upper House Farm is beautifully situated at the end of a long drive with just one immediate neighbour. Quietly located, the house and gardens face south and west and enjoy open views to the Black Mountains. A short drive away lies the thriving village of Ewyas Harold (4 miles), which has a village store, post office, doctors’ surgery, veterinary surgery, an excellent primary school, butchers and two popular inns. More extensive facilities can then be found at Abergavenny (9 miles) and Hereford (15 miles) with both having road and rail links to other parts of the country.

Once a working farm, Upper House is now a very comfortable detached private residence which has been improved and extended by the current owners to offer both comfort and practicality. The house retains many of its original features and has a very impressive sitting room with exposed timbers and stone fireplaces but also enjoys more contemporary benefits provided by a modern kitchen extension with underfloor heating and a beautifully appointed family bathroom on the first floor. There are then four good bedrooms, including a comfortable master suite with its own private bathroom.

On arrival at the property, a private drive passes two wildlife ponds and leads to a parking and turning area to the front of the house. The gardens then sweep around one side and are laid mostly to lawn with a variety of fruit and other trees along with shrubs, floral borders and a kitchen garden. The addition of a garden studio and potting shed offers a quiet space to relax or work, and the gardens generally are very private and offer plenty of space whilst enjoying the backdrop of a stunning landscape.

The private drive also leads around to the other side of the house and to an open double garage at the rear, as well as a two-storey building which offers storage, workshop and office space but could be converted to an annex subject to approval. In addition, the owners have invested in a large and modern steel framed enclosed tractor shed which has power and lighting with three sets of doors.

Accessed from the drive the land is then divided into two fields which are well fenced and currently used for grazing. Each have their own water supply, and they would be ideal for equestrian or other uses. The western boundary of the property is marked by a small stream with attractive mixed hardwoods and wildflowers. Both banks of the stream are within the curtilage for approximately half its relevant length.
