Summary - Stanway, Dormington, Hereford, HR1 HR1 4EB
Approximately 10 acres (to be verified) of pasture, woodland and formal gardens
A rare smallholding opportunity on the edge of Dormington, this detached four-bedroom house sits within around 10 acres (to be verified) of paddocks, woodland and formal gardens. The mature, landscaped grounds include ponds, a productive vegetable plot, greenhouse and sheltered seating areas — ideal for anyone seeking privacy and space for outdoor pursuits. The house retains original parquet floors, exposed timbers and a solid-fuel Rayburn alongside oil-fired central heating.
The property is highly versatile: three reception rooms, a conservatory, fitted kitchen, utility, boot room and an integral garage provide comfortable family accommodation. A wide range of outbuildings — insulated pole-barn workshop, a double brick garage block, secondary sectional garage, former pool building (now storage/changing area), woodsheds and numerous aviaries/dog runs — supports hobby farming, equestrian or smallholding uses. There is mains water to some animal buildings and gated roadside field access.
There is clear scope to add value and adapt the property: the existing garage and adjoining rooms could be incorporated or extended (possible first-floor annexe subject to planning). Buyers should note practical considerations — private drainage via a septic tank, oil heating and a property originally built in 1952 — which mean ongoing maintenance and running costs can be higher than a modern, mains-drained home. Past and current uses of the outbuildings mean some structures will need regular upkeep or upgrading.
Well placed for access to Hereford (c.4 miles) and Ledbury (c.10 miles), the home suits families, smallholders or buyers seeking an adaptable rural base with substantial land. The location offers good local schools, country walks and straightforward road links to rail services and the M50 for wider commutes.
