Yatton, Leominster, Herefordshire, HR6

An exceptional barn conversion of immense character, nestled within the beautiful Herefordshire countryside.

Description

An exceptional and beautifully presented detached barn conversion, set in an idyllic rural position amidst rolling Herefordshire countryside, enjoying far-reaching views over open farmland towards woodland and National Trust parkland.

Originally part of a former dairy farm, The Granary House was thoughtfully converted in 2004 by the respected Perrott Properties, successfully blending the inherent charm of a period barn with the demands of contemporary family living. The result is a striking and highly individual home, rich in character, with exposed beams, brickwork, vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light throughout.

Extending to approximately 6,000 sq ft, the accommodation is both generous and versatile. A magnificent double-height reception hall creates an impressive first impression, leading through to two elegant reception rooms, a study, and a superb open-plan kitchen/dining/family room forming the heart of the house. Designed by Signature Kitchens, this space is beautifully appointed with granite work surfaces, a central island, AGA and integrated appliances, and enjoys delightful views across the gardens and surrounding countryside. A utility room and cellar/wine store further complement the ground floor.

On the first floor, a striking galleried landing with a vaulted ‘cathedral’ ceiling leads to a magnificent principal bedroom suite, complete with dressing area and en suite, and enjoying a spectacular arched picture window framing panoramic rural views. There are four further bedrooms (two en suite), a family bathroom and a library area. A substantial rumpus room provides excellent additional accommodation, suitable as a sixth bedroom, games room, cinema room or home office.

The property has been enhanced in recent years with modern, energy-efficient and lifestyle features including solar PV panels with battery storage, high-speed fibre broadband, EV charging provision and upgraded smart heating systems.

Externally, the property is approached via a sweeping driveway with ample parking and an integral triple garage. The landscaped grounds extend to approximately 1.7 acres, comprising expansive lawns, a small orchard, established planting and a copse of silver birch. There are several seating and entertaining areas including a paved terrace with fountain and a further decked area to the rear.

Adjacent to the house is a charming former cart barn, now converted to provide a range of useful and versatile spaces including a games room, store and wet room, ideal for entertaining or ancillary use.

The Granary House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful country home in a truly outstanding setting, offering both privacy and exceptional lifestyle appeal.

Location

The Granary House is situated in the peaceful and unspoilt hamlet of Yatton, in north-west Herefordshire, an area renowned for its picturesque rolling countryside and strong sense of rural character.

The nearby village of Aymestrey (approx. 1 mile) offers a welcoming community with a parish hall, the historic Church of St John the Baptist and the award-winning Riverside Inn. Wigmore (approximately 2 miles) provides a broader range of amenities including a village shop, well-regarded eateries and schooling at both primary and secondary levels.

More extensive facilities can be found in Ludlow (about 9 miles) and Leominster (about 10 miles), both of which offer a range of independent shops, supermarkets and rail services on the Manchester to Cardiff line. The cathedral city of Hereford (approximately 20 miles) provides a comprehensive selection of shopping, cultural and educational facilities, together with the county hospital.

The surrounding countryside offers excellent recreational opportunities, with the Mortimer Trail and numerous footpaths nearby, including routes leading to the National Trust’s Croft Castle and Croft Ambrey hillfort. Despite its tranquil setting, the property remains well connected, with access to the wider motorway network via Ludlow and the A456.
