Nr Kempley, Detached Barn Conversion

The Cart Shed

Enveloped by dozens of acres of orchards and picturesque farmland, this four-bedroom barn conversion carries a layout that may present an ideal opportunity for multi-generational living. Inside, the handsome home boasts many classically beautiful features, such as vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. Outside, the tranquil garden extends towards the banks of a babbling brook.

Location
Woodhouse Farm is a breathtakingly beautiful rural retreat, made up of a small complex of stone barns which are tucked just inside the Herefordshire border with Gloucestershire. A far-reaching vista of the majestic Malvern Hills is gloriously showcased as one reaches the extensive single-track lane into the property, which leads past the 35-acre heritage Perry Pear orchard consisting of 2,800 trees.
Nestled amidst gently rolling hills and patchwork fields, the idyllic village of Upton Bishop features The Moody Cow, a reputable pub and restaurant, plus the Upton Bishop Millennium Hall - a substantial community centre used by many different groups for all types of activities.
The welcoming market town of Ross-on-Wye is a short drive away. This offers a plethora of amenities, including a variety of supermarkets, shops, restaurants, leisure facilities and highly regarded schools.
Despite the seclusion of the setting, a network of main roads is nearby. The M50 motorway is approximately two miles away and provides excellent commuter links to the M5, giving good access to Birmingham and Bristol. The A40, also two miles away, leads to the M4 at Newport, giving good access to Cardiff and London.

The Home at a Glance
The Cart Shed is one of four magnificent properties sharing an attractive central courtyard. While the home is not isolated, occupants enjoy a sense of tranquillity, starry night skies and the enchanting Herefordshire countryside quite literally on the doorstep.
The main entrance leads into a capacious and light-filled open-plan living arrangement, which is beautified by exposed beams. The kitchen features a tiled floor and timeless shaker-style units with granite countertops. The space is equipped with various integrated appliances, including a Bosch ceramic hob with an overhead extractor fan, an AEG dishwasher, an under-counter fridge, an under-counter freezer and a pull-out bin store. There is also a Belfast sink and a wooden-topped breakfast bar, which presents a relaxed dining space.
Beyond the kitchen, a wooden floor discerns a new zone; it flows through into a family room/formal dining room. Plenty of sunlight pours into the expanse through two aspects, including a set of French doors that lead to the rear garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn and includes a patio terrace.
A hallway extends from the kitchen towards a bright and airy sitting room. A vaulted ceiling with exposed trusses accentuates the generous size of this space, and a log-burning stove - a staple of country life - sits on a stone hearth. On one side of the room, a glass door leads to the garden, and on the other, a series of picture windows overlook the central courtyard, while external wooden shutters can create additional privacy.
The ground floor of the property includes two double bedrooms, both of which benefit from having en-suite facilities. One bedroom overlooks the rear garden and has a fully tiled wet room, which includes a rainfall shower. The other bedroom has a window overlooking the central courtyard, a vaulted ceiling and an en-suite bathroom with a three-piece suite.
Back in the open-plan space, a wooden staircase leads to the first floor, which houses two more double bedrooms, both of which carry vaulted beamed ceilings. One has a built-in wardrobe, whereas the other features an alcove within the deep stone wall, providing a charming space to store books and display treasured items.
In terms of washing facilities, there is a family bathroom - complete with a three-piece suite - positioned between the two bedrooms.
