Bedrooms: 5
Nestled in the heart of rolling Herefordshire countryside and forming part of a tiny hamlet, this Grade II listed Hop Kiln house, creates a wonderful and spacious family home, full of character and charm all set in large gardens and land extending to approximately 3 acres, including a productive small vineyard, mixed orchard, and little stream.
Situation and Description
Tucked away in northeast Herefordshire, yet only a short drive from a bustling market town, this unique house is part of a small cluster of individual properties and converted barns that lie on a small country lane, surrounded by unspoilt farmland.
Nearby services are available at Bromyard (2 miles) including a choice of independent shops and cafes, a supermarket, both primary and secondary schools, Health Centre and Dentist, restaurants and much more. The village of Bishops Frome (3.5 miles) is also within easy reach and includes two village pubs, a church and The Hop Pocket shopping centre which offers a variety of goods and services including a café and garden centre. The popular market town of Ledbury (11 miles) has a train station and offers nearby access to the M50 motorway. Malvern (13 miles) offers excellent theatres and cinemas, Waitrose, Marks and Spencer s and easy access to The Malvern Hills, which can be viewed from the property. More extensive facilities can be found at the cathedral cities of Hereford (15 miles) and Worcester (17 miles). Mainline Stations to London and the North are located at Worcester (3 stations), Malvern and Hereford.
This fascinating house, full of character and charm, has been greatly improved by the current owners, over the last two years, retaining many period features. With an eye for design and respect for the history of the house, re-decoration has taken place, windows have been replaced or repaired, and a new Minerva kitchen with Fisher Paykel range cooker has been added. A new central heating boiler, linked to a Mixergy smart hot water tank has been installed and the main roof has been insulated and refurbished.
Throughout the house, the accommodation is spacious and versatile with comfortable reception rooms, improved bath and shower rooms and a huge main bedroom with high vaulted ceiling. The hop kilns themselves, holding a special place in the heart of local history, provide four unique circular rooms, a cosy snug, a refurbished utility space with ground floor cloakroom and two spacious bedrooms.
The quiet and secluded gardens and grounds extend to approximately 3 acres with many specimen shrubs and trees including apple, pear, quince, medlar and greengage. Offering plenty of space for The Good Life there is a greenhouse, a small productive vineyard (2023 vintage: 300 bottles), an orchard, and a paddock ideal for chickens, or perhaps a pony.
On arrival, a welcoming entrance hall leads to a comfortable sitting room, which has lots of character and includes a feature fireplace with newly fitted wood burner. An adjoining dining room offers space for entertaining, and includes a black limestone flagged floor, heavily timbered ceiling, and French windows giving access to the garden. In the centre of the house, a study provides a quiet space to work with views over the garden, whilst a very practical, spacious, and colourful kitchen provides a natural place for the family to gather. A new Minerva designed kitchen offers plenty of working and cupboard space, with direct access to the rear sun terrace, via a stable door. The remaining ground floor space includes the lower sections of the hop kilns which create a snug and practical utility space.
On the first floor, a light and spacious landing area with open beams and a high vaulted ceiling, provides enough space for a sofa, a comfy place to sit and relax. The main bedroom is a fantastic space with triple aspect, affording far-reaching views of the garden and surrounding countryside. Steps then lead down to a studio or fifth bedroom also with a triple aspect. Bedroom two leads through to the bathroom and there are two further bedrooms supported by a newly fitted shower room.
Outside
The property is approached from a small country lane by a dual access driveway which provides parking spaces for three cars and access to a small, attached garage (13 5 x 9 2) with a rear enclosed courtyard and useful outbuilding (14 10 x 12 2) with potential for a variety of uses.
The gardens and land lie to the rear and are a major part of this wonderful house. A sun terrace makes the most of the southerly aspect and overlooks the established gardens which provide plenty of space for even the most energetic children, or keen gardeners. Offering considerable privacy and providing a haven for all sorts of birds and wildlife, the remaining land includes a small vineyard, a magical place in the evening sunlight.
