The Morgans is a superb ground floor apartment in the west wing of a traditional country house, situated within the Herefordshire village of Stoke Lacy. The building is a fine example of 19th century architecture with low pitched hipped slate roofs, stone mullion bays, elegant sash windows and mellow red brick walls, adorned with a mature wisteria. This recently refurbished, spacious 2-bedroom apartment of over 1,500 square feet, offers excellent accommodation throughout, with ample parking to the front of the property and mature gardens to the rear. The apartment is named after the Morgan family, who once owned the whole property, and whose name is known the world over for the craftsmanship in their bespoke, hand-crafted vehicles in nearby Malvern.
The village is just 4 miles from the charming market town of Bromyard, which has a wide range of amenities including shops, supermarkets, public houses, banks, doctors’ surgeries, dental practice and schools.
Main line railway stations are available in Hereford, Ledbury, Leominster and Worcester.
The motorway network can be accessed at Junction 7 of the M5 at Whittington, Worcester, 21 miles away, or at Junction 2 of the M50, 18 miles away.
Bromyard 4 miles – Hereford 10 miles – Ledbury 11 miles – Leominster 13 miles – Worcester 18 miles.

The Property
The Morgans is approached via a large, gravelled driveway to the front of the property, providing parking space for several vehicles.
A wood panelled front door with transom window above for natural light, opens into the wide entrance hall with geometric tiled flooring, and wood panelling. A shuttered sash window to one end of the T-shaped hall creates a quiet nook which would make a delightful study area.
The kitchen/dining room is well-proportioned, with beautiful period features such as high ceilings, ornate cornicing, tall sash windows to the bay, and oak floorboards. The recently-fitted contemporary Shaker-style units are topped with Carrara quartz work surfaces, complemented by the central kitchen island with oak wood block work surface. There is a Zanussi eye-level oven, electric hob, integrated fridge-freezer, pantry drawer and five-shelf pullout storage unit. The inset composite sink has a Verana Hanstrom 3 in 1 traditional instant boiling water tap in brushed copper which tones perfectly with the copper handles of the units and copper pendant lights. The dining area has views to the front and side of the property.
The sitting room is elegantly proportioned, with a traditional bay with margin style sash windows and half-height shutters overlooking the front garden. The muted pink tones, Victorian style radiators and wood-burning stove on a slate hearth with wooden surround, re-create the calm of a bygone era. Reinforced glass panels over the illuminated, ancient well create a stunning focal point in the room.
Further along the hallway is the well-proportioned master bedroom, with sash window to the rear garden, has a superb inglenook fireplace with stone surround and a stone hearth and ample space for free-standing bedroom furniture. The second bedroom, in a calm, fresh green, is a generously sized double bedroom with sash window to the front elevation, picture rail and an original fireplace with cast-iron grate and stone surround.
A useful store room and storage cupboard are both accessed from the rear hallway that leads to the family shower room, which is spacious and well-appointed, with attractive tiled flooring, wall panelling, a large shower enclosure with marble patterned shower boards, sash window to the rear garden and contemporary WC and vanity unit.
The utility room/cloakroom has space and plumbing for three white goods, obscure-glazed sash windows, rustic wall shelves and a WC and vanity unit.
