The Property
The Granary, built in the Stuart/Georgian style is in the hamlet of Middleton on the Hill situated in North East Herefordshire near the border with Worcestershire and surrounded by stunning countryside. The property enjoys outstanding south westerly views over the farmland of the uplands of Herefordshire. The area is extremely popular for its walking, cycling and riding with so much idyllic countryside on the doorstep. Accessed via electric gates, the sweeping driveway leads around a large lawn, in which a single sycamore tree sits in the middle, to the house where you will find plentiful parking and space to build a garage / carport - subject to consents.
The house enjoys a great deal of natural light. The front door leads into the entrance hall from which you can access the dining room with its beamed ceiling and welcoming Clearview log burner. Double doors lead to a large solid roof conservatory with its windows designed to take in maximum views of the pretty Church and double doors leading to the back garden. In the heart of the modern country kitchen sits an Aga. With its beamed ceiling, large central island and built-in appliances, the kitchen is an ideal entertaining space. A WC completes the ground floor.
On the first floor you will find the spacious Drawing room/Master bedroom and family Bathroom with roll top bath. The Drawing room has a beamed ceiling and enjoys triple aspect views, one of which looks over the Church. This room could easily be a Master bedroom with its superb dimensions and views, being serviced by the family bathrooom. A welcoming Clearview stove with wood surround completes this light and airy room. The second floor is where you will find the light-filled bedrooms, all with useful storage spaces. The Principle Bedroom has a en-suite shower.
Outside the gardens are fairly low maintenance, with the main areas, front and back laid to lawn with pretty climbers making use of the wall running around the back of the rear garden which also has a patio area, storage shed and an area laid to stone outside the kitchen door.
