A delightful Grade II Listed property comprising a detached thatched cottage with a separate 3 bedroom dwelling and a self-contained annexe, cider barn (perfect for conversion) and lovely gardens and grounds extending to about 1 acre. This historic detached property is pleasantly located in a conversation area, adjacent to St Andrew's Church, in the heart of Hampton Bishop which is one of the most highly sought-after villages in Herefordshire, about 3.5 miles from the Cathedral City of Hereford and close to both the River Wye and River Lugg. Within Hampton Bishop there is an active community with a village hall, church, public house and there are lovely local walks. There is a primary school in nearby Mordiford and the property is in the catchment area for Bishop's secondary school. In Fownhope there is also a shop/post office, doctors' surgery, a sports playing field and an exclusive health & leisure club (Wye Leisure). The property is Grade II Listed and the main cottage is thatched and believed to date back to the 17th Century and has been extended and has a wealth of exposed internal timbering, 3 bedrooms and gas central heating. Within the grounds there is also a separate former barn which has been part-converted to provide a 3 bedroom cottage, with gas central heating, exposed floorboards to the whole of the first floor and there is an adjoining undeveloped cider barn with press and a separate self-contained 1 bedroom annexe. The overall property offers great versatility for dual family living but with potential for further development and for a separate income and as well as lovely cottage gardens there is also a pasture paddock/orchard and excellent parking.
