Description

Detached Period Property | Elevated Position with Spectacular Countryside Views | Spacious Accommodation | 2 Bedroom Self-Contained Apartment Generating Income | Garages, Carports and Outbuildings | Ideal For Multi-Generational Living | 6 Acres Of Mature Gardens And Land

Wildflower House is set in the sought after village of Shobdon, surrounded by beautiful Herefordshire countryside. The village enjoys a good range of local amenities including an excellent village shop/post office, primary school, The Batemans Arm public house and church. Leominster is about 9 miles west and the historic town of Ludlow is c.14 miles to the northwest, whilst the city of Hereford is some 20 miles to the south. All are within easy reach and provide a wide range of amenities, including main brand supermarkets and rail links to the rest of the country.

Wildflower House is an exceptional and substantial country residence, set within approximately 6 acres of beautifully maintained grounds in a peaceful rural position near the sought-after village of Shobdon.

This impressive former rectory, coming to the market for the first time in over 50 years, combines elegant period character with generous and versatile accommodation extending to over 5,500 sq ft, making it ideal for family living, entertaining, or multi-generational use.

The property is approached via a sweeping driveway, enjoying a private and commanding position within its grounds. Upon entering, a striking reception hall immediately sets the tone, featuring high ceilings, original tiled flooring and an elegant staircase rising to the first floor.

The ground floor offers an excellent range of reception space, including a beautifully proportioned drawing room and a separate sitting room, both enjoying views over the gardens. A formal dining room provides an ideal setting for entertaining, while the kitchen is well-appointed and complemented by a utility room and separate laundry. In addition, there is a study along with a variety of ancillary rooms, offering flexibility to suit a range of lifestyles.

To the first floor, the property provides an impressive range of well-proportioned bedrooms, many enjoying elevated views across the surrounding grounds and countryside. The principal bedroom suite is particularly noteworthy, being exceptionally spacious with ample room for additional furnishings and seating, creating a luxurious retreat. Several further bedrooms are generous doubles, benefitting from high ceilings and large sash-style windows, retaining the charm and proportions expected of a home of this period.

Bedrooms five and six are currently arranged as a self-contained two-bedroom flat with separate access, providing excellent potential for multi-generational living or as an income stream, currently generating approximately £600 per calendar month.

A notable feature of the property is the extensive range of outbuildings, including garaging, workshops and carports, offering excellent storage or potential for further development, subject to the necessary consents.

The gardens and grounds are a particular highlight, extending to approximately 6 acres of lawned gardens, mature trees and established planting. The grounds enjoy a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion, while also offering excellent potential for equestrian or smallholding use.

Wildflower House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished country home of significant scale and character, set within a desirable North Herefordshire location.
