Description

A charming detached period residence enjoying a peaceful rural setting amidst the beautiful Herefordshire countryside, with far-reaching views towards the Malvern Hills. Set within approximately five acres of gardens and adjoining paddocks, this exceptional lifestyle property offers a rare combination of character, versatility and country living, complemented by modern energy-efficient features including a ground source heat pump and solar photovoltaic (PV) installation. Originally a detached cottage, the property has been thoughtfully extended over the years to create a superb family home, blending period charm with modern comforts. At its heart is a beautifully appointed bespoke breakfast kitchen complemented with a range of integrated appliances recently updated by the current owners to provide an impressive space for everyday family life and entertaining alike. A practical utility room provides valuable additional storage and workspace, while a ground floor cloakroom adds further convenience. The well-proportioned and flexible accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes a welcoming drawing room featuring an open fireplace with wood-burning stove and French doors opening onto the gardens. A separate study provides an ideal home office, while the dining room and music room offer versatile reception space and flow seamlessly into the snug. The principal bedroom enjoys a dressing area and en-suite shower room, complemented by three further generous bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom.

A particular feature of the property is the extensive range of outbuildings, offering outstanding flexibility. These include a gym/studio, detached self-contained annexe suitable for ancillary accommodation or holiday letting (subject to any necessary consents), a garage and workshops.

The property benefits from a ground source heat pump system providing efficient renewable heating and hot water, offering a sustainable and economical alternative to traditional heating systems. In addition, the solar PV installation further enhances the home's energy efficiency by generating renewable electricity, helping to reduce running costs while supporting a more environmentally conscious lifestyle.

Outside, the beautifully maintained gardens extend to approximately one acre and wrap around the property, with expansive level lawns, mature trees, including a variety of fruit trees, and established planting creating a delightful setting. Beyond the gardens, the adjoining fenced paddocks extend to approximately four acres, presenting excellent opportunities for equestrian use, a smallholding or those simply seeking additional outdoor space.

This is a wonderful lifestyle property offering spacious, practical and stylish accommodation in an idyllic countryside setting, combining period character with modern sustainable living.
