Summary - Garraway House, How Caple HR1 4SS
Grade II listed 17th‑century rectory with many original features
Garraway House is a substantial Grade II listed 17th‑century rectory set in about 2.5 acres, offering classic period character and far-reaching rural views. The main house retains many original features — fireplaces, exposed beams, stone mullion windows and high ceilings — and provides generous reception rooms and up to six bedrooms. An adjoining self-contained two‑bedroom cottage has been modernised and could provide income or flexible guest accommodation.
The estate includes part‑walled gardens, five paddocks, stables, tack and feed rooms — practical for owners with equestrian interests. A private driveway and off‑street parking serve both properties and the grounds give excellent privacy and scope for landscaping or small‑scale hobby farming. The cottage’s separate entrance and courtyard add rental or holiday‑let potential.
Important practical points: the property needs significant renovation, has no main central‑heating system (electric or oil options assumed), and the listed status will restrict alterations and complicate works. There is a high flooding risk for the area, private drainage in place, and Herefordshire council tax is high (Band G for the main house). Buyers should allow for restoration costs and listed‑building consents.
This is a rare opportunity for a buyer who values period charm, space and equestrian facilities and is prepared to manage an extensive renovation and the constraints of a listed building. The house is offered chain free and suits someone seeking a characterful family home, country retreat or specialist investment with restoration potential.
