Description

Occupying a wonderfully private position in the heart of the Herefordshire countryside, Aston Mill is a handsome Grade II listed farmhouse, complemented by a substantial and impressive separate cottage. While the farmhouse now requires modernisation, it offers exceptional potential, retaining a wealth of natural charm, character and warmth throughout.

The farmhouse provides accommodation arranged over three floors, extending to approximately 4,806 sq ft. The property is entered via an entrance hall, from which doors lead to a lounge, a dining room with a wood burning stove and access to an adjoining office area, and an inner hall. Furthermore, there is access to a spacious cellar (from the entrance hail)which can be accessed from the outside.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and integrated appliances and enjoys attractive views over the garden, together with ample space for dining. Further ground floor accommodation includes a utility room, storage room, cloakroom and a conservatory.

The first floor comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, all benefitting from commanding and far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. Three bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, while the principal bedroom enjoys an en suite shower room. The second floor, currently accessed without a permanent staircase, provides two further double bedrooms.

A particular highlight is the adjoining and highly versatile annex, which has been successfully let for many years. The accommodation briefly comprises a sitting room, dining area, kitchen, shower room and two bedrooms, making it ideal for guest accommodation, multigenerational living or continued rental use.

Adjacent to the farmhouse, on the entrance approach, lies an impressive four-bedroom cottage.
