DIRECTIONS From Teme Street, Tenbury Wells head north over Teme Bridge and at the T Junction turn left onto the A456 in the direction of Ludlow. After 0.2 mile turn right onto the B4214 signed Clee Hill. Proceed for 1 mile before turning left onto a lane signed Hartall and Whitton. After 0.5 mile the private driveway to Upper Harthall Farm will be found on the right hand side.
SITUATION Upper Harthall Farm is very pleasantly situated close to the Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire borders amidst the green rolling countryside above the River Teme with Clee Hill a prominent backdrop to the north. The property lies to the north of the market town of Tenbury Wells christened 'my little town in the orchard' by Queen Victoria, which offers a variety of supermarkets and independent shops and services, pubs and restaurants, a library, a doctors' surgery, a cottage hospital, vets, a theatre/cinema, swimming pool, primary and secondary schools, and a range of clubs and societies. The vibrant and historic town of Ludlow renowned for its cuisine and architecture is nearby. The County towns and cities of Hereford, Shrewsbury and Worcester are all within an hour's drive.
Upper Harthall Farm is within the catchment areas for Burford C of E Primary School and Lacon Childe (Secondary) School. There are several excellent private schools in the locality including Moor Park, Lucton School, The King's School and RGS in Worcester, and Hereford Cathedral School.
The M5/M42 motorway network is about 40 minutes away by car and local west country rail services are available at Leominster and Ludlow with intercity connections from Worcester to London Paddington and from Kidderminster via Birmingham New Street to London Euston. Birmingham airport is around 50 miles away and Shobdon aerodrome which offers private and charter flights is 30 minutes away by car.
DESCRIPTION Upper Harthall Farm is a delightful small country estate which will appeal to those seeking quality country living as well as having the added benefit of lucrative letting income from the two high spec barn conversions which flank the approach to the farmhouse. The period farmhouse in the form of a longhouse is believed in part to date back to the late 17th Century. It has been considerably improved by the current vendors to provide exceptional living accommodation which includes the conversion of the hop kiln at the east gable end which could form a self-contained annexe. There is potential to extend the accommodation into the roof space of the main farmhouse. Fast fibre broadband is connected for home working.
The house has quality features and fittings throughout and the added benefit of a newly installed lift to take you up to the first floor. The ground floor layout lends itself to being a convivial party house and equally provides plenty of quiet space for your own time. The garden room often becomes an enlarged family dining/party room and with eight bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms including a Jacuzzi bath and a sauna, there is plenty of space for those who can't make it home!
The Cottage and The Annexe are two separate dwellings converted to a high standard which have excellent yielding income from AST lets but are equally suited for holiday letting or for dependent relatives.
There are extensive level gardens, grounds with four pools, arable and grassland and a storage building. The estate extends to over 24 acres and the pools are a super wildlife habitat, the paddocks and fields provide equestrian potential whilst also offering opportunities for diversification. Further land is available by separate negotiation.
