Description

Countryside home set within approximately 5 acres of beautifully curated gardens and grounds, including a rose walk featured on Gardeners’ World. Offering generous and versatile accommodation, this unique property combines lifestyle, space and horticultural excellence in an idyllic rural setting.

Hillcroft is a distinctive country property offering a rare lifestyle opportunity, set within approximately 5 acres of thoughtfully arranged gardens, grounds and productive land. More than simply a private home, Hillcroft presents genuine potential for those seeking a smallholding, horticultural venture or a move towards a more self-sufficient way of living.

Extending to around 1,867 sq ft, the house provides well-balanced and versatile accommodation suited to a variety of needs. The ground floor centres around a generous kitchen/breakfast room, forming the heart of the home, alongside a spacious reception room and separate dining room. A conservatory enjoys direct access to the gardens and grounds, while a further study or fourth bedroom offers flexibility for home working or guest accommodation.

Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, including a particularly spacious principal bedroom. The layout is practical and adaptable, appealing to buyers seeking space to live and work in a rural setting.

The true strength of Hillcroft lies in its land and the breadth of opportunities it affords. The grounds have been carefully developed over time to create a series of distinct areas, combining ornamental planting with highly productive spaces.

A notable feature is the Rose Walk, showcased on Gardeners’ World in 2023, where approximately 60 roses create a striking and established display. Beyond this, the grounds transition into more functional areas, including a well-established orchard with apple, pear, plum, cherry and walnut trees, and a substantial vegetable garden capable of supporting a high degree of self-sufficiency.

A range of additional spaces, including a wildflower meadow and paddock land, further enhance the versatility of the property. These areas lend themselves to a variety of potential uses, such as smallholding, horticultural enterprise (including cut flower production), or other land-based pursuits. There is also scope, subject to the necessary permissions, to explore ancillary uses such as craft or workshop space, or holiday accommodation.

A traditional stone-built barn provides useful storage for equipment and tools, supporting the practical management of the land.
Hillcroft’s outdoor space is both beautiful and purposeful, and will particularly appeal to buyers with an appreciation for, and understanding of, land stewardship and the ongoing care that such a setting requires.

Positioned within the peaceful setting of Coombes Moor, Hillcroft enjoys a sense of seclusion while remaining within easy reach of the market town of Presteigne, known for its independent character, cultural events and strong community.

Hillcroft offers a compelling opportunity for those looking to embrace a more hands-on rural lifestyle, combining comfortable living with the space and potential to create something truly individual.
