There are five excellent restaurants in the area. This lovingly converted former barn is situated next to the owner s own home, and yet the amount of space here means that guests are able to easily enjoy their privacy. On entering the property, guests cannot help but be impressed by the sense of space this property boasts, being over 60 feet in length. On the ground floor, the open plan living area is a light filled space, thanks to the double height windows on both sides of the building. The dining table sits between these windows, next to which is the wonderful original 1959 Wurlitzer jukebox, which plays 200 golden oldie songs, without anyone having to search their pockets for coins. Passing from the dining area to the lounge area, guests will find a fantastically relaxing space with a warming wood burner, comfortable sofas, and a very well stocked library of books. The kitchen is also on the ground floor and is equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher. There is also a shower room with WC located on the ground floor. Taking the stairs to the first floor, guests will love the second lounge, with its beamed ceiling, comfortable sofas, and TV/DVD. To one end of this room, a small balcony offers views over the surrounding gardens and beyond. There are two bedrooms in the property, both of which benefit from an en suite bathroom, the first of these is a king size room, whilst the second is a twin room that can be made up as a double on request. Outside, there are an impressive 3.5 acres of beautifully designed gardens which are shared with the owner. The extraordinary gardens have been recognised as one of the best in Herefordshire. Perfect to explore, watch the stunning wildlife pond or admire the beautiful sunsets. Beyond the gardens, there are a further thirteen acres of private ancient woodland, providing a wonderfully secluded location for walks amongst the native trees, together with the owners friendly Rhodds Spaniels who are always happy to show you the way.
