Tucked away in the hamlet of Hillend, The Old Stables is a converted barn offering spacious, flexible family living with notable countryside views. The well-planned layout places all four bedrooms on the ground floor, two with en suites, making daily life and guest stays effortless. Upstairs, a large living room with a log burner and French doors opens onto a private balcony that looks out over open fields — a peaceful spot for morning coffee or evening sunsets.
The kitchen is a practical, sociable hub with a central island, adjoining utility room and cloakroom. Characterful features such as exposed beams and high vaulted ceilings give the home warmth and personality, while modern comforts include underfloor heating and a dedicated home office — useful for working from home. Outside, a generous level garden, detached double carport, ample parking and a Scandinavian wood-fired hot tub complete the lifestyle offering.
Important practical points are clear: the property is freehold and offered with no onward chain, built in 2007 and measured at about 2,036 sq ft. Heating runs from an LPG boiler with underfloor heating rather than mains gas; glazing is double-glazed but pre-dates 2002. EPC is rated D. There is a medium flooding risk for the location, broadband and mobile signals are average, and council tax is described as expensive. A below-average annual service charge of £720 applies.
This is a rural retreat well-suited to families or those seeking a countryside base within reach of Ledbury, Malvern, Hereford and Worcester. The home’s character, flexible ground-floor sleeping arrangement and large outdoor space offer immediate enjoyment, while minor upgrades (EPC, glazing, or heating preferences) provide scope for future investment and improvement.
