Seller Insight

Set within a generous corner plot it is a classic Georgian house with good proportions and reasonably high ceilings. “We came to the area when my late wife was working in Hereford, and it was the close proximity to her work that influenced our choice of home. We have enjoyed our time here but there is too much space for just me, and I believe the house would better suit a family,” says the owner.

Offering plenty of space inside, including a handy utility and boot room, it also has an impressively large cellar surrounded on all sides by the garden. “In the corner of the barn there were stairs leading to a tunnel to the cellar of the house that is now floored over but the stairs and the runners for the barrels can still be seen from the cellar.”

Outside there are several lawned areas, one with a pond, and a dividing wall creating excellent outdoor privacy. There is also ample parking. “As is often the case with country homes, the backdoor is where one regularly leaves and enters, especially as the drive brings one round to the rear of the property.” In recent times the owners have had a new roof fitted with good insulation and replaced the windows and fireplaces. Although, generally well maintained, the house could benefit from a little tender loving care.

“My wife was a keen gardener, and the outdoor space would definitely suit someone with a flair for gardening.”

“I think my favourite room would have to be the main lounge which was converted from the old cider barn. It has a high beamed ceiling and lots of character and is a great space for entertaining.”

“The off-road parking is most valuable when hosting guests. Hagley House is very friendly and welcoming with a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere.”

“The village has highly rated schools, both primary and secondary, an excellent nursery and shop, a hairdressers and fish and a chip shop. Bartestree is nice and close to Hereford and is served by a regular bus service.”*
