Walterstone, Hereford, Herefordshire, HR2

Magnificent Grade II Listed Tudor Manor Estate dating from 1495, set in 16 acres beside the River Monnow, featuring four established holiday cottages and extensive leisure facilities.

Description

Set within approximately 16 acres of picturesque grounds bordering the River Monnow, this remarkable Grade II listed Tudor manor house dates back to 1495 and offers a rare combination of historic charm, luxury living and income-generating potential.

The estate comprises the beautifully restored main manor house alongside four individually positioned stone cottages, currently operating as successful holiday lets with dedicated parking and private outdoor spaces. The current owners have established that, subject to certain improvements, the cottages could potentially be sold separately with local authority approval.

Rich in period character, the manor retains an abundance of original features including Jacobean oak panelling, exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, Elizabethan/Tudor detailing and impressive fireplaces. Versatile reception rooms, a substantial principal suite, multiple guest bedrooms and extensive ancillary accommodation create an exceptional family home, boutique hospitality venture or multi-generational residence.

Outside, the grounds include formal gardens, a walled garden, wildflower meadow, barn with stable, workshops, games barn, approximately one acre of fenced grazing land, a three-bedroom static caravan and a former clay pigeon shoot with utility connections. Additional leisure facilities from the property's former hotel use remain in place, including a swimming pool, gym, bar and function room, offering exciting scope for future development (subject to permissions).

The four cottages range from one to five bedrooms and are presented to an excellent standard, featuring private gardens, terraces, en-suite accommodation, underfloor heating and stunning countryside views.

Occupying a sought-after position on the English-Welsh border, approximately seven miles from Abergavenny and seventeen miles from Hereford, the estate enjoys easy access to the Black Mountains and Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park.

A truly unique lifestyle and business opportunity, offering heritage, privacy, flexibility and significant potential in an outstanding rural setting.
