Description

A unique opportunity to purchase a delightful rural property located amidst some of Herefordshire's most beautiful countryside in the foothills of Hay Bluff and the Black Hill.

The property comprises a single storey mid 1990's conversion providing spacious two bedroomed accommodation, a sitting room, dining room, kitchen and recently updated bathroom. This property includes features such as high level vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers.

Like the main barn this property retains character features including exposed roof timber and flag stone flooring to the dining hall. Both buildings are reputed to originate from around 1750's.

It sits in beautiful unspoilt scenery where there is an abundance of wildlife and superb paths for the walking enthusiast. The borders market town of Hay on Wye is about 9 miles to the North and the Cathedral city of Hereford where there is a great choice of shopping and leisure facilities is about 12 miles.
