HAGLEY HOUSE

Originally built to house a local farmer who grew apples for cider making in the adjacent field, Hagley House, located in the Herefordshire village of Bartestree, was built in 1785. Over the years a small, attached barn has become part of the house and a number of additions have been added to make it a sizeable home.

This elegant, exceptionally spacious Grade II Listed, detached, period residence is situated in the sought-after village of Bartestree, a prime location for village life but also within easy reach of the cathedral city of Hereford and the market town of Ledbury. The house itself was originally built circa 1785, boasting many original features such as the incredible vaulted ‘cider barn’ drawing room, with later Victorian additions. With five bedrooms, three bathrooms, three reception rooms, spanning three levels, along with extensive cellars measuring approximately 3,474 square feet, this is a spacious family home with a wealth of opportunity for customisation and personalisation.

Approached via Hagley Orchard, the property welcomes you with double iron gates that lead to a spacious driveway offering ample parking and turning space. Adjacent to the driveway, a garage is conveniently provided, along with a storage area. Additionally, there is a charming brick-built detached coach house, perfect for conversion into a home office, studio, or other versatile purposes.

Situated on expansive mature gardens and grounds, the plot extends to approximately 0.47 of an acre, featuring an elegant part-walled design, that provides a sense of privacy and tranquility.

Hagley House exudes tremendous potential and possibilities – a truly remarkable investment opportunity.
