Situation: Kinsham Court is nestled in wonderful Herefordshire countryside close to the border with Powys. The overall package is a rare opportunity set in an idyllic position enjoying 180° views across the valley.
Presteigne was voted, by readers of The Times, as one of the best places in the UK to live. Situated on the border of Wales and England, it is surrounded by beautiful scenery and provides local amenities including schools, local independent shops, pubs, cafés, church, cricket and bowling clubs and hosts the internationally renowned Presteigne Festival and the Welsh Trial of The Vintage Sports Car Club annually.
Additional services and amenities can be found within the nearby village of Shobdon which offers a shop, a primary school and a village hall.
Ludlow lies to the east, within easy reach, with a selection of independent and state schools, golf courses, National Hunt racing, high street shopping, bars and well known restaurants and an abundance of culture including regular food festivals and the internationally acclaimed Ludlow Food Festival.
Situated close to the borders of Wales, Shropshire and Herefordshire, travel links within the area are good with the A49 linking the county towns of Hereford to the south and Shrewsbury to the north connecting to the A5 / M54 to Telford, Wolverhampton and Birmingham. Nearby Bucknell is on the Heart of Wales line and Craven Arms, Leominster and Ludlow are on the main Manchester to Cardiff railway line. Regional International airports are at Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham.
Kinsham Court is the epitome of the classic English country estate, nestling in picturesque countryside on the Herefordshire / Powys border. Records indicate It has been lived in by the family of Florence Nightingale and also of Lord Byron, who it was believed worked on “Childe Harold” while in residence at the Court. Sweeping up the drive to the front of the property the approach is through its own woodland.
The accommodation, as it is used today, on the ground floor comprises: a porch area with downstairs WC, large entrance hall, drawing room with fireplace, a dining room and a sitting room featuring a fireplace, all with elegant proportions, high ceilings and plasterwork. There is a large open-plan kitchen / breakfast room and the house benefits from the ever useful additional rooms such as a rear hallway / boot room, larder, utility, scullery and study, all expected from a house of this nature. The lower ground floor consists of a cellar and a boiler room.
On the first floor there are six double bedrooms and three bathroom / shower rooms including the Lord Byron bedroom with his alleged signature carved in the glass. On the second and third floor there are two and four further bedrooms respectively plus a bathroom on the third floor. The house requires modernisation and represents a rare opportunity to create a wonderful home.
In addition to the main house, there are the traditional stableyard buildings which include Stable Yard Cottage plus two cottages which boast very flexible accommodation for a multitude of purposes including annexes for
relations, guest quarters, a commercial let or perhaps even the opportunity for a potential buyer to run a hotel or wedding venue subject to the relevant planning permission.
The gardens and grounds at Kinsham Court consist of mature planting, encompassing well laid out lawns which overlook the stunning valley at the rear of the house down to the River Lugg which is a SSSI. The walled garden is particularly charming with its Victorian greenhouses, kitchen
garden beds, gravel paths and box hedging. To the rear of the house is a yard encompassed by outbuildings including a garage.
There is 1550m of single bank fishing and 1670m of double bank fishing. Kinsham Court is nestled in wonderful Herefordshire countryside close to
the border with Powys. The overall package is a rare opportunity set in an idyllic position enjoying 180° views across the valley.
