Summary - Hope Mansell HR9 5TJ
1 bed 1 bath Barn Conversion
Large rural conversion with workshop and strong renovation potential.
Detached barn with vaulted timbers and exposed oak trusses
Set within rolling farmland, this partially converted detached barn offers dramatic vaulted timbers, plentiful natural light from skylights and windows to four aspects, and generous open-plan living on an unusually large footprint (approx. 1,420 sq ft). The conversion works are high quality in parts: exposed oak trusses, new steel joists and insulation, built-in bird boxes and fitted storage that add character. A mezzanine provides potential bedroom space and a substantial workshop is included — ideal for a home-business or hobby use.
Practical installation work is partly complete: underfloor heating piping has been laid and mains water and electricity are connected. However, a heating source/boiler has not been installed and the property remains in need of finishing and general renovation throughout. Planning permission exists for conversion to ancillary living plus a workshop; a change of use would be required for purely residential use (Valuation Office Agency confirms this is straightforward).
The setting is a strong selling point — seclusion, very low crime, darkness at night and long-range countryside views from a large plot. The hamlet is rural but accessible: the A40 is about 2.5 miles away with Ross-on-Wye, Gloucester and Hereford within commuting distance. Broadband is fast and parking is off-street.
This barn suits someone seeking a distinctive country home with space and character, and who is willing to complete the renovation and install heating. It will particularly appeal to downsizers, creatives or buyers wanting workshop space and rural privacy rather than someone seeking a turnkey property.
