Description

Situation: The Odd House forms part of the small and picturesque village of Blakemere, occupying a peaceful position close to the village church and green, boasting the potential for further extension and development, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The property does have active Planning Permission which was approved in 2023 to make better use of the existing space. The current plans are on the Herefordshire planning portal; the application number is 231762 and grid reference .

The property stands within a well-enclosed plot extending to approximately 0.25 of an acre. Originally a substantial barn, the building was partly converted and subsequently extended to create a comfortable residential dwelling during the 1970's. The garden is situated to the rear of the property with considerable scope for further enhancement, including the creation of more formal gardens, additional parking or potentially new garaging.

A range of local amenities and services can be found in the nearby villages of Madley, Bredwardine and Peterchurch. Hereford City Center is 11 Miles, offering a blend of medieval history, a world class food and cider scene, with beautiful riverside outdoor activities. There are outstanding state and independent schools in the area including Moor Park, Lucton School and Hereford Cathedral School. Several golf clubs are within easy reach including Kington, Wormesley and Leominster, plus National Hunt racing at both Hereford and Ludlow. The A49 is close by and provides good road links to the national motorway network.
