Set in a private plot of about 2.5 acres, Ryeford Farm is an imposing period farmhouse that has been significantly extended and also the subject of a comprehensive renovation to modernise and add a contemporary twist. The house is not historically listed but is believed to date from 1850.

Approached via a long sweeping driveway which gives way to a large area of parking and the double garage, the house stands prominently on its plot enjoying seamless views of the glorious Herefordshire countryside.

The house is arranged over three floors with a dry cellar beneath. The accommodation is naturally very light with excellent proportions throughout and extends to approximately 3,659 square feet.

The ground floor centres on an impressive open plan room with the well-appointed kitchen at one end extending to a flexible dining area at the other. There is a comfortable sitting room off the kitchen complete with a wood burner and French doors onto a south west facing terrace.

A generous formal drawing room, utility room and 2 cloakrooms complete the ground floor.

On the first floor, the master bedroom suite comprises a stunning bedroom with a bay window that takes in the view, a luxury bathroom complete with twin sinks, a bath and separate shower and then a fully glazed dressing room. In addition, there is a guest bedroom with en suite shower room, two double bedrooms, a family bathroom and finally, a fifth guest suite on the second floor.

Lawns flank the driveway stretching all the way past the house to a rear more established garden dotted with mature trees which form the backdrop to the house. Closer to the back door, there are areas for dining out as well as formal gardens that include private sun traps and seating areas, raised borders and a superb water feature.

A secondary entrance to the rear of the house leads to a large courtyard currently used as additional parking. There is also a useful timber framed former agricultural shed with potential for other uses subject to the necessary consents.

Services: Mains electricity, water, gas and private drainage. Under floor heating in the modern part of the house with radiators elsewhere.

Agents' note: Lapsed planning consents for a breakfast room, annexe and a tennis court show clear precedent however these applications would need to be renewed now.

Wayleaves, Easements and Rights of Way: The property is offered with all existing wayleaves, easements and all public and private rights of way and other such rights, whether these are specifically referred to in these particulars or not.
