Velvet Stone is situated off a very peaceful country lane, down it's own private driveway in the hamlet of Hatfield, on the outskirts of the pretty village of Bredenbury, offering schooling, public houses and a villiage garage. Bredenbury is ideally situated for exploring the wealth that Herefordshire has to offer. The historic and thriving market town of Bromyard is approximately 6 ½ miles distance, as is Leominster (10 miles) which both offers a wonderful range of independent shops, schooling, churches, community hospitals, and leisure facilities. The market towns of both Ledbury (18 miles) also offer an abundance of facilities, with the cathedral cities of both Hereford (20 miles) and Worcester (21 miles) being within easy commuting distance. Excellent rail links from Leominster to Birmingham New Street and to London Paddington will be found via Hereford whilst access to the motorway network, via junction 7 of the M5, is approximately 21 miles distance.
Velvet Stone Cottage is believed to date back to the 1800s and has been extended to provide spacious and versatile family accommodation, offering character and a tranquil setting. The entrance hall has parquet style flooring and is spacious and inviting. The large living room is very bright and leads through to a vast sun lounge that has Mediterranean styling, with Spanish inspired tiled floor, and leads out onto the relaxing garden areas. From the hallway you will find a discreet study that also shares views onto the sun lounge and onwards to the garden. There is the added benefit of a shower room which, coupled with the study, may offer itself as an ensuite. Next you will find the kitchen with fitted base and high level units with light wood facings, cream wall tiles and quarry tiled floor. The snug / dining room leads directly from the kitchen and as the most obvious part of the original 1800s dwelling is character filled with timber roof beams, quarry tiled floor and large inglenook fireplace - that contains the original double bread ovens, and to the side of this still remains the bulk of the oven that is currently used as a very ingenious wine store - containing a natural gas coal burner. You have access via a rear enclosed porch out onto the patio area at the rear of the property. From the dining room stairs rise to the first floor where there are three bedrooms, and the family bathroom. All bedrooms maintain the character of the cottage, each containing built in wardrobes, deep window cills and wood panelled latch doors. The master bedroom has dual aspect windows so that you have uninterrupted views over the garden and adjoining magnificent countryside.
Velvet Stone benefits from having an elegant private driveway leading to an expansive double garage, which has light and power, this could be expanded further into the roof space. Through an ornate ironwork gate from the spacious parking area you enter the secluded and well maintained mature garden, crossing a terrace running along the length of the back and makes for a fantastic entertaining space, particularly as it spills from the sun lounge via double French doors. Tucked away to the side of the main garden you find a working well, and an extremely useful large workshop that is constructed on a solid concrete floor, and has light and power. From the walled and gated patio area you follow a pretty red bricked pathway through the centre of the garden, passing the feature pool with cascading waterfall, where you might like to sit upon the vintage cheese stone and relax whilst being absorbed by the natural world surrounding you. Mature trees and shrubbery abound throughout, included are fruit trees of plum and cherry. At the far end of the garden you have a further store for all garden paraphernalia; the original brick built outhouse, and a decorative wooden dovecote.
