With 20 acres of farmland to explore, this Herefordshire hideaway is a paradise for walkers and peace-seekers. Drink-in the sweeping views from an idyllic outdoor dining area. Inside, the reverse-level layout includes three dreamy bedrooms and beautifully styled social spaces where six can unwind companionably.
Enjoying an elevated position with far-reaching views across rolling countryside, this timber-clad converted barn sits near to the owner's main farmhouse but is totally private and self-contained. Park then leave outdoor layers in the porch before taking luggage into your choice of three ground-floor bedrooms. The king-size, double and small double bedroom share use of a family bathroom, while a handy utility room close-by houses a washing machine and drink-making facilities. Upstairs, the open-plan kitchen/diner is bathed in light, with windows that frame more countryside views. The handsome dining table has stylish seating, while the kitchen is sleek and houses all the must-haves of home. Adjacent, the generous lounge stretches the full length of the property and features bold furnishings, a selection of books and games, and a Smart TV. On sunny days the large table and chairs within your own outdoor seating area offer a perfect setting for al fresco food, drinks and drool-inducing views. You’re free to walk the farm’s fields while you’re here – follow the path to woodland and the River Arrow beyond.
Stroll along the leafy lanes on your doorstep or venture further afield for longer hikes along trails such as the stunning Offa’s Dyke Path. Half-timbered Tudor homes full of history feature in the Black and White Village Trail – stop off at Kington (3 miles), Pembridge (6 miles), Eardisland (8 miles) and Weobley (9 miles) as you drive the 40-mile route. Visit Hay-on-Wye (16 miles), famous for its fine choice of bookshops, riverside walks and internationally-celebrated spring festival, or shop for supplies in the towns of Hereford, Leominster, Ludlow or Presteigne – all are within 20 miles.
