The property forms part of the small hamlet of Monkhide which is situated on the eastern side of the Cathedral City of Hereford and offers easy access to the main Hereford to Worcester Road. Local services are available at Newtown Crossroads with a garage and store with more extensive facilities at the market town of Ledbury and also the Cathedral Cities of Hereford and Worcester.
The property is entered via a welcoming entrance hall, laid with terracotta tiled flooring and enjoying a large picture window overlooking the inner courtyard garden. A staircase with solid wood balustrading rises to the first floor, while an open cloak area provides practical space for coats and shoes.
The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan living space, a superb room defined by exposed oak beams and vaulted ceilings which create both height and character. Large skylights and expansive windows flood the room with natural light, enhancing the sense of space and openness. The layout has been thoughtfully arranged to provide clearly defined areas for relaxing, dining and entertaining, while maintaining an easy flow throughout.
A striking brick inglenook fireplace with log-burning stove forms a natural focal point and adds warmth and atmosphere during the winter months. The blend of exposed timbers and contemporary finishes gives the room both depth and balance. A spiral staircase with timber treads and metal detailing rises to the first floor, providing an eye-catching architectural feature. Generous seating areas are positioned to take full advantage of views across the surrounding gardens, creating a seamless connection between inside and out.
