Detached house for sale in Leominster HR6, 4 Bedroom

Converted from a 300 year old blacksmith’s forge and extended into the original farm buildings. The Forge retains many original features while providing very flexible living accommodation which would suit a range of family or rental living arrangements. The glazed porch leads into a central reception hall which links the two principle living rooms of the original building, both with exposed beams and large open fireplaces with wood burning stoves. To the rear, the family kitchen / dining room is fitted in a contemporary country style with tiled floor, oak units and a range cooker. A sun room with doors into both the front and rear gardens links the dining area with an annexe which can be incorporated into the main home, or retained as an independent living unit. The annexe includes a large dual aspect sitting room with vaulted ceiling, a bedroom, a separate bathroom and a modern fitted kitchen with integral oven and hob. The ground floor accommodation is completed with an additional bathroom and shower room, with a staircase rising to the first floor to three double bedrooms.

The quiet hamlet of Stansbatch sits in beautiful countryside by the historic site of Wapley Hill. The area is ideal for walking, cycling, riding and country sports, with a network of local paths and bridleways and the Herefordshire Trail long distance path passing through the hamlet. The attractive market town of Kington is around 5 miles away and still has a regular livestock market, weekly country market, regular local food and craft markets and a monthly art, craft and vintage market. Nearby Presteigne is popular with visitors and locals alike with excellent shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs, and a leisure Centre. The Stagg at Titley, less than 2 miles away, was the first pub in England to be awarded a Michelin star and although no longer holds the award it remains very well thought of and a popular destination.Train stations at Leominster, Ludlow and Hereford offer good connections to the national rail network.

The property sits behind a low stone wall with a front garden and space for off-road parking. To the side, a paved terraced area extends the living space of the annexe into a lawned garden. To the rear an attractive tiered stone terrace rises from the sun room to a large open lawn and beyond to extensive vegetable gardens with a shed and greenhouse.
