Summary - MONKSBURY COURT, MONKHIDE VILLAGE ROAD, MONKHIDE HR8 2TU
4 bed 4 bath Stone House
South-facing gardens, sweeping drive and expansive rural views near Ledbury.
Period stone farmhouse with extensive original features
This handsome stone farmhouse sits at the end of a no-through drive between Ledbury and Hereford, set within about 1.6 acres of south-facing gardens and grounds. The rambling layout offers generous reception space — formal drawing and dining rooms, a cosy sitting room and a breakfast-room snug — all retaining strong period character and working woodburners. The oak farmhouse kitchen with Aga and vaulted beamed ceiling forms a practical heart to the house.
Four good bedrooms are served by four bathrooms and two staircases, creating useful separation for family life, guests or older children. A formal gated entrance and sweeping gravel drive provide privacy; a detached four-bay garage with workshop (accessed via a separate shared drive) will appeal to car enthusiasts or DIYers. Footpaths and a bridleway lead directly into open countryside.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, drainage is on a shared private system and the building is of solid brick construction (likely with little wall insulation). Broadband speeds are slow, mobile signal is average and council tax is described as quite expensive. The house is semi-detached and was constructed before 1900, so prospective buyers should be prepared for period-maintenance and possible upgrading works.
Overall this is a character-rich, substantial family home with extensive mature gardens, far-reaching southerly views and versatile outbuilding space — best suited to buyers who value privacy, period features and ample grounds, and who are comfortable managing older-property running costs and services.
