Dating back to the 1800’s and converted around 2008, The Coach House is a particularly spacious and individual home, subsequently improved and carefully maintained by the current owners. Generous rooms are found throughout, including a superb 21ft sitting room and kitchen/dining/family room, with Idigbo hardwood framed windows and doors, as well as attractive timber shutters.

Outside, the landscaped south-west facing garden includes a large paved patio beneath a timber pergola, established planting and a kitchen garden with raised beds. There is ample parking, a brick built open fronted garage and further garden storage, while the rural setting provides countryside views and walks directly from the doorstep.

The Property

The front door opens into a particularly spacious entrance hall, laid in oak flooring and providing access to the principal ground floor rooms. The staircase sits centrally within the hall, with useful storage beneath and a separate Downstairs WC.

The kitchen/dining/family room extends to over 20ft in length, providing excellent space for a large dining table alongside the kitchen itself. A generous range of timber cabinets is arranged around the room with extensive worktop space, tiled flooring and wide windows bringing in plenty of natural light. The proportions allow the dining area to sit comfortably at the centre of the room without compromising the kitchen space.

Adjoining the kitchen is a separate utility room, fitted with further cabinets, worktop and sink, with space for both washing machine and tumble dryer, with the gas-fired Worcester boiler mounted on the wall. A half glazed door opens directly outside.

Across the entrance hall is the superb sitting room, its generous proportions comfortably taking several large sofas with plenty of additional space around them. A fireplace provides a natural focal point, its log burner style gas fire set within a broad chimney breast with timber mantel, while windows and widened French doors bring natural light into the room and provide direct access outside. The current owners have also added further insulation to the south gable/internal wall, upgraded the lighting with low energy spotlights and fitted a high security locking system to the French doors.

The staircase leads to an unusual split level first floor landing, itself a particularly attractive feature of the house. A shuttered window sits centrally between the two levels, framing a view across the surrounding countryside, while the arrangement separates the bedrooms and creates a far more interesting space than a conventional landing, with a generous airing cupboard housing the water tank.

Bedroom 1 is an excellent and capacious main bedroom, enjoying dual aspect windows with acoustic glazing. There is an extensive arrangement of fitted wardrobes, providing excellent storage without detracting from the generous proportions of the room. The adjoining ensuite is fitted with a glazed walk-in shower, WC, pedestal basin and chrome towel radiator.

Bedroom 2 measures approx. 18 x 10 feet, making this another particularly generous double bedroom, with wide shuttered windows either end overlooking the gardens. This large dual aspect bedroom could easily be split into two smaller bedrooms or offices if desired.

Bedroom 3 is also a comfortable double in size. Its window has been enlarged by the current owners, increasing the natural light within the room.

The family bathroom includes a panelled bath with shower above and glazed screen, pedestal basin and tiled surrounds. A WC with panelling behind sits alongside a chrome towel radiator. Both the bathroom and ensuite have had their floors screeded and new flooring fitted.

Outside

Considerable work has been undertaken to create and improve the south-west facing gardens. A generous paved patio sits beneath a timber pergola with scented climbing roses, opening onto established lawns, borders and planting, with fruit and ornamental trees, heavy duty trellising, a kitchen garden with six raised beds, built-in potting bench, greenhouse with water supply and separate garden shed.

Parking is generous, with two spaces on the gravel drive, another space in the adjacent stable yard, a brick built open fronted garage, and further visiting parking. Opposite the garage, a fully shelved lock up brick storeroom is also included, providing handy extra storage.

Rural views and countryside walks surround the development, yet Hereford is approx. four miles away. The village has a primary school, church and village hall, while Credenhill, around a mile away, provides further village facilities.
