Summary - GOLDEN VALLEY FARM, LEDBURY, HOLLYBUSH HR8 1EX
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Secluded 1400s cottage on ~10 acres with stables, cider house and renovation potential.
Approximately 10 acres including paddocks, formal garden and allotment
Golden Valley Farm is a secluded half‑timbered cottage set within about 10 acres on the lower slopes of the Malvern Hills, adjacent to common land with grazing rights. The site includes an adjoining cider house, extensive outbuildings, two stable blocks, an open hay barn and a one‑bed static caravan — offering clear equestrian or small‑holding potential. The location is rural and private yet within reasonable driving distance of Ledbury, Malvern and mainline rail links.
The cottage dates from the 1400s and retains period character such as exposed timbers, original floor tiles and ovens, exposed fireplaces and a cider mill with original press. Internally the layout is conventional: sitting room, breakfast kitchen with oil‑fired Aga, utility, bathroom and three bedrooms upstairs. The grounds provide paddocks, formal garden, allotment and a central yard giving access to the outbuildings and stables.
Important practical points: the property requires a comprehensive scheme of modernisation and improvement. The EPC is rated G and there is currently no central heating beyond the oil‑fired Aga; heating and services should be inspected. Drainage is by a septic tank, access is via a track across common land (Malvern Hills Trust), and any development potential would be subject to planning approval. Council Tax is in Band F.
This opportunity will suit buyers seeking a character restoration project, equestrian smallholding or investment with scope to add value. Early inspection is recommended to appreciate the location, scale of land and the range of outbuildings, but purchasers should budget for extensive renovation and service upgrades.
