Deceptively spacious property boasting over 2,200 sq ft in a village setting and with established gardens. The property has been extensively updated to include replacement windows, kitchen and some bathrooms. There is a fantastic studio formed from what was the double garage, but also a large workshop that provides for the storage space often required.
This beautifully presented and spacious home is set in an idyllic south Herefordshire village, which features several beautiful apple orchards. The detached property boasts four/five bedrooms, as well as two/three reception rooms - one of which is presently utilised as a substantial artist's teaching studio.

The main sitting room is dual-aspect and is streamed with plenty of natural light. Its principal focal point is a bespoke fireplace which houses a wood-burning stove. There is a separate dining room, currently used as a study/ work room. The open-plan kitchen/dining area gives plenty of space for families and guests to gather while meals are prepared and, during the warmer months, a set of French doors at the far end of the dining area can be opened to expand the space into the garden. The kitchen includes a double oven, a gas hob and an extractor fan along with an integrated dishwasher. A cloakroom is found off the main reception hall and from the kitchen steps lead down into the utility/boot room which is fitted with a range of units. From this area a door opens into the fabulous double garage conversion now providing an excellent large room for a variety of uses. There are high ceilings and the room is light and bright and is fitted with a manor of fitted cupboards and shelving.
There are four bedrooms on the first floor of the property and the master bedroom includes a multitude of fitted furniture including three double wardrobes, two chests of drawers, two bedside cabinets and a dressing table. The spacious en-suite shower room is fitted with two piece site with separate shower cubicle . The family bathroom also includes a walk-in shower cubicle along with a three piece suite and chrome-heated tower rail.
The outside space:
The rear garden is a wonderfully tranquil spot filled with birdsong. A verdant lawn stretches across the expanse and this is bordered by a plethora of mature shrubs and herbaceous plants. There is also a raised pergola-covered wooden deck which leads straight off the kitchen offering a great spot for 'Al fresco' dining. In addition, there are two secure wooden outbuildings - one on either side of the home - and these give plenty of storage and both have electric.
At the front of the home, there is an attractive rockery which gives the home privacy from the country lane. There are steps leading up to the top, where there is a small bench, giving excellent views over the surrounding countryside. The substantial driveway at the front of the home gives enough space to accommodate approximately half a dozen vehicles.
