Description
Turnastone Court is a wonderful period farmhouse believed to date from the early Victorian era, standing alongside a quiet country lane with glorious views in most directions. The house has many fine features that it retains and offers spacious accommodation on three floors, together with a useful cellar under part. It is a part of a farm which was acquired by Countryside Restoration Trust some years ago, but is in need of major renovation and investment and the decision has been taken to allow a discerning purchaser to give it the love and attention that it needs.

This thus gives an opportunity for an exciting house renovation project on a grand scale to create one of the finest detached dwellings in the valley in a beautiful area, backing onto a pretty stream. The Trust are retaining the land to the south and west, giving the purchaser a perfect reassurance that the area will be preserved in its best interests going forward.

Location
Vowchurch (less than half a mile away) offers a pretty church and a popular village hall. The village of Peterchurch is located about a further mile away and offers good local facilities in the form of a village shop, two public houses, primary school, cafe, etc. The main feature has to be that it is in the catchment area of the Fairfield Secondary School in Peterchurch which is well known for its excellence and achievements. The Golden Valley is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty with an abundance of countryside ideal for walking. The Wye Valley and Brecon Beacons National Park, all within a short car drive and offer a wide range of outdoor pursuits. Hay and Hereford are roughly equidistant at about 10 miles away each offering a range of shopping and social facilities, with main line railway stations at Hereford and Abergavenny (15 miles).
