Newton St. Margarets, Hereford

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Black Mountains, The Griggs is a beautifully restored country home offering an idyllic rural lifestyle in one of Herefordshire’s most unspoiled settings. Sitting in just over three acres of enchanting gardens, two paddocks and wildlife-rich grounds, this elegant four-bedroom residence perfectly balances period character with thoughtful modern living.

Location - Despite its peaceful rural position, the property remains highly accessible. The nearby village of Peterchurch provides everyday amenities, both primary and secondary schooling and a strong sense of community, while Hay-on-Wye, Abergavenny and Hereford offer a wider range of cultural, retail and transport connections. Whether enjoying literary festivals, farmers’ markets, walking in the Black Mountains or exploring the Wye Valley, this is a location that perfectly complements the lifestyle The Griggs offers

Accommodation - Approached via a gated driveway along a peaceful country lane, the property immediately evokes a sense of calm and seclusion. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is one of escape — birdsong in the gardens, far-reaching countryside views and an unmistakable connection to the surrounding landscape.
Inside, the home has been sympathetically modernised to create warm, versatile accommodation filled with natural light and charm. At the heart of the home, the kitchen leads into the sitting room with a fireplace and bookshelves plus a dining room which is a wonderfully sociable space, complete with a feature fireplace and picture windows framing the gardens beyond.
The fitted kitchen combines practicality with country style, featuring generous storage, extensive work surfaces and a range cooker ideal for relaxed family gatherings or entertaining friends after long walks in the hills. Complementing the main living spaces are a cosy snug with wood-burning stove, a characterful study for home working, and a series of useful utility and boot rooms perfectly suited to country life including a downstairs shower room.
Upstairs, four beautifully proportioned double bedrooms enjoy elevated views over the gardens and surrounding countryside, creating peaceful retreats filled with light and character. The bathroom is fitted with a large walk in shower, a separate bath and the airing cupboard. The spacious landing and high ceilings further enhance the sense of openness and elegance throughout the home not forgetting the new oak staircase leading from the bright and light hallway.

Outside - The Griggs truly comes into its own. The mature gardens have been lovingly cultivated to create a haven for wildlife and an ever-changing tapestry of colour, texture and scent. Meandering pathways lead through richly planted borders, established trees and quiet seating areas, while the summer house offers an enchanting spot to unwind and enjoy the tranquillity. Beyond the formal gardens lie productive vegetable gardens, a greenhouse, useful outbuildings and charming former railway carriage storage, adding both practicality and personality to the property. A wildlife pond and two paddocks complete with a wooded dingle offering endless opportunities for gardening, smallholding, equestrian interests or simply embracing a slower pace of life immersed in nature. Next to the drive is a useful garage with power and lighting.
