Situation And Description - Located in the sought-after village of Allensmore, this modern, energy-efficient home enjoys a peaceful rural outlook with easy access to Hereford, Ross-on-Wye, Monmouth and Abergavenny. The M50 and A465 offer excellent links to Bristol, Cardiff, Birmingham, and the wider motorway network, while the area is well served by a mix of state and independent schools – making this an ideal base for families.
A standout local amenity is the renowned Locks Garage, just a few minutes drive away and affectionately known as the Fortnum & Mason of Herefordshire. Here you’ll find an extraordinary range of essentials and luxuries, from quail eggs and confit duck to animal feeds and central heating oil – all under one roof.
The Property - This detached, traditionally built home is a rare find: EPC A-rated, beautifully presented, and packed with lifestyle appeal. Designed for flexibility and sustainability, it combines practical rural features with contemporary finishes.
The heart of the home is the Wren kitchen, fitted with Zanussi appliances and open to a bright dining area. A separate 31’ reception room features bifold doors out to the patio, ideal for entertaining, with a wood-burning stove creating a cosy focal point. There’s also a utility room, downstairs WC, and a dedicated study, offering space for home working or hobbies.
Upstairs, there are four good-sized bedrooms, a family bathroom and an en suite to the principal room. Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, with oil-fired radiators upstairs, and solar panels with battery storage help keep energy costs low.
Outside - Outside, the property sits in around half an acre, with enclosed gardens and a paddock ideal for a smallholding lifestyle or simply enjoying more space. A portal-span outbuilding (with planning to extend), storage container, and purpose built dog kennel and run provide brilliant flexibility. There’s also planning permission for a garage at the front of the property, although the large driveway already accommodates multiple vehicles.
This is a superbly practical and thoughtfully designed home with strong eco credentials, stylish presentation and everything you need for modern country living.
