Greystone House is a substantial former Victorian rectory set in about nine acres of formal gardens, level pasture and productive nursery areas. The house retains high ceilings, large reception rooms and period detail, making it well suited to a family seeking generous living, flexible bedrooms and strong garden/land use. The estate includes useful outbuildings and a former coach house with loft, offering scope for ancillary accommodation subject to consents.
Practical updates include a new private drainage system installed in 2022 and PV panels with a feed‑in tariff, which reduce running costs. The property uses oil-fired central heating with a boiler and radiators and has double glazing, though the original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed uninsulated — further insulation work may be required for modern efficiency standards. There is a single principal family bathroom for seven bedrooms, which will be a key consideration for larger households or multi-generational use.
The location in the Wye Valley delivers countryside privacy, rural views and easy access to Hay-on-Wye, Kington and Hereford. Broadband speeds are reported fast and crime is very low, supporting home working and family life. Flooding risk is medium — prospective buyers should obtain detailed flood and insurance advice. Council tax sits at Band G, reflecting the size and running costs of the house.
Overall, Greystone House offers a rare combination of period grandeur, extensive grounds and development potential. It will particularly appeal to families who value space, formal gardens and outbuildings, or to buyers seeking a country house with scope to modernise services and internal layout.
