Seller InsightThis charming stone-built three bedroom property, the oldest part of which dates from the 1840s, is set in half an acre of gardens at the end of a long private driveway off a quiet

country lane. The A44 trunk road is readily accessible and gives the property easy access to amenities in the village of Bredenbury and the market towns of Bromyard and Leominster.

The ground floor of the house itself offers spacious accommodation and has a generous reception hallway with parquet-style flooring which opens to a large sitting room. Double doors open from the sitting room to an even larger conservatory and together these rooms provide excellent entertaining space; the south-facing conservatory also has double doors, which open to a paved terrace and the garden. In the older part of the house, the originally separate dining room and separate kitchen have been opened up by the current owner to create one large open plan room. A utility room and a shower room complete the ground floor, while on the first floor three bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. The property also includes a detached double garage, a large gravelled parking area and a detached workshop with power and light.

The private and secluded garden, which has been beautifully maintained by the current owner, is a particular feature of the property and contains many mature trees and shrubs. The garden also includes a pond, which has recently been enlarged by the removal of a low enclosing wall and the addition of natural planting.

Velvet Stone offers both a lovely family home and a quiet rural retreat, which also has good access to amenities.

Favourite roomThe kitchen and sitting room features exposed beams and a large inglenook fireplace with original bread ovens.

Favourite garden featureThe current owner says the garden is a haven for diverse wildlife.
