Church Row, Cherington, CV36

Hirons Farm is a beautifully presented Grade II listed country house, dating principally from the 18th century, with four bedrooms, four reception rooms and a wealth of period character. The wider holding extends to approximately 10.5 acres and incorporates two ancillary dwellings, a studio, garage/workshop, extensive storage, stabling, paddocks and a substantial agricultural barn. Its combination of heritage, acreage and infrastructure is exceptionally hard to replicate.

The main house extends to approximately 2,754 sq ft and retains an impressive collection of period features, including exposed beams, natural Cotswold stone, original flooring and attractive fireplaces. The entrance hall leads into a sequence of well-proportioned reception spaces, creating an easy flow through the ground floor.
The kitchen breakfast room forms a natural hub, fitted with bespoke-style cabinetry and a substantial central island, with ample space for informal dining and family gatherings. From here, the dining room provides a more formal setting for entertaining, while the adjoining living room is an exceptionally versatile space with generous proportions and direct access to the outside.
A particularly inviting sitting room provides a more intimate place to relax, featuring an inglenook fireplace and characterful detailing. A separate study offers a quiet space for home working or reading, while a ground-floor cloakroom and useful utility room complete the principal accommodation.
On the first floor are three bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom, together with two bathrooms. The rooms are light and well proportioned, with exposed timbers and other period details continuing throughout. A staircase rises to the second floor where a fourth bedroom occupies the converted roof space, accompanied by a further bathroom.
The accommodation is complemented by two additional dwellings within the grounds. The annexe provides a one-bedroom layout with an open plan kitchen/living room, and a bathroom. Together with the detached studio and workshop, these spaces provide exceptional flexibility for guests, family, staff, home working or potential ancillary income, subject to any necessary consents.

Outside

Set behind the house, the grounds extend to approximately 10.5 acres and provide an impressive combination of formal gardens, paddocks and practical equestrian facilities. A gravelled driveway provides generous parking and access to the various outbuildings. The principal garden is attractively landscaped, with mature planting, lawns and established trees creating a private and peaceful setting behind the house. A patio terrace just off living room provides an excellent area for outdoor entertaining. The equestrian facilities include five stables, hay store and additional storage, together with paddocks extending across the holding. Further buildings include a substantial agricultural barn, ideal for equestrian use, vehicle storage, workshop or other lifestyle purposes, together with a detached garage/workshop and separate studio. The one bedroom annexe provides valuable additional accommodation for guests, family, staff or potential income generation, subject to any necessary consents.
