Location

Set within an idyllic rural setting on the Herefordshire/Worcestershire border, this property enjoys an enviable position in the community of Bringsty Common. Extending to approximately 200 acres, Bringsty Common is a beautiful area offering outstanding opportunities for walking, riding and enjoying the surrounding countryside. Maintained by the volunteer Bringsty Common Manorial Court in partnership with Herefordshire Council, the Common is largely open to the public while retaining its unique rural character.

The property is exceptionally well placed in its peaceful countryside setting and also for access to the nearby market town of Bromyard, 4 miles, benefitting from a range of independent shops, supermarkets, a post office, leisure centre and doctors’ surgery to name but a few of its facilities.

The larger centres of Malvern, Worcester and Hereford are also close and offer an extensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities. Junction 7 of the M5 motorway, near Worcester, provides excellent connections to the national motorway network, while mainline railway stations at Malvern and Worcester offer regular services to Birmingham, London and beyond.

Also conveniently located nearby are the villages of Linley Green, Suckley and Whitbourne. Linley Green, less than four miles away, provides a village shop with Post Office, while closer still are a parish church, primary school, Holloways Garden Centre with its popular café, and the well regarded Live and Let Live public house which can be accessed within a 10 minute walk along the contour of the Common. Everyday shopping is also available at Whitbourne Community Stores, around a mile from the property.

Enjoying glorious views towards the Malvern Hills and immediate access to the historic Bringsty Common, the property combines the tranquillity of country living with excellent accessibility, making it an ideal base from which to explore the surrounding countryside while remaining well connected to nearby towns and cities.

The Property

The Accommodation

A welcoming reception hall introduces a home full of character, offering spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. Having been extended over the years, the property now presents an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to further enhance and modernise the house, subject to any necessary planning consents.

The principal reception room is a generous dual aspect living room with French doors opening onto the front veranda and gardens beyond. A connecting door leads into the formal sitting room, where a handsome fireplace with timber mantel and wood burning stove provides an attractive focal point.

French doors open from the sitting room into the impressive L shaped conservatory, flooded with natural light and perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the magnificent garden and countryside views.

The breakfast kitchen is well appointed with a comprehensive range of fitted units complemented by granite work surfaces, a solid fuel fired Rayburn and integrated appliances including a hob, double oven, microwave, dishwasher and fridge. Adjoining the kitchen is a practical utility room offering additional storage and workspace, together with a side entrance porch and a cloakroom incorporating a shower and WC.

First Floor

The first floor landing extends across the rear of the property, allowing the principal bedrooms to fully appreciate the exceptional views to the Malvern Hills.

The principal bedroom is a spacious dual aspect room enjoying stunning panoramic views, complemented by an extensive range of fitted wardrobes, including a walk-in wardrobe, together with an en-suite shower room.

There are two further generous double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and an additional occasional bedroom or home office with dormer window and limited headroom, providing flexible accommodation to suit a variety of needs.

The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower enclosure, together with a completely separate WC.

Throughout the property, the accommodation is notably light and airy, offering considerable flexibility for modern family living. Oil fired central heating and timber casement double glazed windows provide comfort and practicality throughout.

Gardens and Grounds

The gardens and grounds are undoubtedly among the property's greatest assets, wrapping around the house on all sides and extending directly onto Bringsty Common.

The mix of formal garden and orchard are predominantly laid to lawn with well stocked herbaceous borders and an attractive collection of mature specimen trees. A broad lawn gently slopes towards the enclosed paddock, creating a beautiful parkland style setting that perfectly complements the surrounding countryside.

The paddock features a magnificent mature willow tree, all enclosed by established hedging and fencing. The remainder of the gardens are similarly enclosed, providing both privacy and security.

Outbuildings

The property is well served by a range of useful outbuildings. Of particular note is the substantial detached double garage, complete with two roller shutter doors, light and power, together with a spacious loft room offering excellent potential for storage or ancillary use including great Airbnb opportunity subject to planning permissions being sought.

Additional brick and timber outbuildings provide further practical storage, while the gardens also feature a greenhouse, numerous fruit trees and an attractive covered pergola adorned with mature climbing plants, providing year round colour and interest.

Summary

Offered to the market for the first time in almost three decades, Fernie Hall Cottage represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a highly individual country home in one of Herefordshire's most picturesque settings. Combining generous accommodation, exceptional privacy, established gardens, far reaching views and significant scope for further enhancement, this is a truly special property with enormous potential.

Agent's Note

The executors of the estate have applied for Adverse Possession of the paddock at the foot of the garden, and it currently sits at Land registry awaiting sign off. This process will be concluded prior to completion of the sale.
