Hay Barn, Perton Stoke Edith, Hereford

Occupying an enviable position within an exclusive courtyard development of just eight individual homes, this exceptional detached barn conversion enjoys a peaceful setting in the sought-after hamlet of Perton, ideally situated between the cathedral city of Hereford and the market town of Ledbury.

Originally converted to an impressive standard in the early 1990s, the property beautifully combines character features with modern comforts. Offering distinctive upside-down accommodation, the principal living areas are positioned on the first floor to maximise the far-reaching countryside views, particularly towards Shucknall Hill. The home benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and solar panels, while exposed stonework, vaulted ceilings and impressive timber beams create a wealth of charm and individuality throughout.

The accommodation is arranged around a striking reception hall with floor-to-ceiling glazing and comprises three generous double bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite facilities. The principal bedroom enjoys direct access to the garden and features exposed stonework together with a luxurious en-suite bathroom complete with a spa bath. A separate family shower room serves the remaining accommodation.

A staircase rises to the spectacular first-floor living space where a full-height vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers and stonework provide an outstanding focal point. The spacious sitting room centres around a character stone fireplace, while the dining area enjoys delightful dual-aspect views across the surrounding countryside. The well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with bespoke cabinetry, oak worktops and a range of integrated appliances, complemented by a breakfast bar and ample space for a range-style cooker.

Externally, the property is approached via a shared cobbled driveway leading to an attractive courtyard setting. The beautifully landscaped gardens have been thoughtfully designed for ease of maintenance and year-round enjoyment, featuring several seating and entertaining areas, including a raised paved terrace, hardwood pergola, ornamental planting, mature shrubs and trees, and a charming gazebo-covered seating area. The grounds provide a wonderful backdrop for outdoor dining and relaxation while enjoying the surrounding rural views.

Further benefits include designated parking for two vehicles, a carport, garden storage and a highly desirable village location.
