Birchfield House is a commanding Grade II listed Georgian country residence set in about 2.5 acres with wide Wye Valley views. The main house offers five bedrooms, three bathrooms, generous reception rooms with high ceilings and original features, plus a self-contained two‑bedroom annexe that could suit relatives or provide rental income.
The grounds include a floodlit full-size tennis court, mature south-facing gardens, and a paddock. A range of stone outbuildings — including a two-storey Coach House and stables — already have planning consent for conversion into a self-contained three‑bedroom cottage (building regs ref FP0589/04), presenting clear scope to increase accommodation or income.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and may complicate repairs, and broadband speeds are very slow. The house is offered freehold and chain free, with no reported flood risk and very low local crime — attractive for buyers seeking privacy, space and an established country lifestyle.
This house will suit a buyer looking for a substantial period home with opportunities to improve and enhance, rather than a turnkey modern property. Expect maintenance and sympathetic conservation work typical of listed country houses, balanced by exceptional setting and proven conversion potential for the outbuildings.
