The village of Gorsley is 2 1/2 miles away with its Post Office/Village store, primary school and renowned Malaysian restaurant. The riverside market town of Ross-on-Wye is 3 miles away. Ross has much to offer including designer outlet shopping, diverse high street shops, a hospital, public houses and restaurants, swimming pool, primary schools, and an "outstanding" (Ofsted) High School and 6th Form Centre. There are many places of beauty and interest within easy reach, for example Symonds Yat, Goodrich Castle, and the world famous book town of Hay-on-Wye.

Hilltop is a stunning mid-19th century grain barn which is constructed from warm pink stone and features a multitude of extravagantly proportioned slit windows, originally intended to ventilate the grain stored inside. The front door stands under a welcoming porch, with adjacent loggia terrace draped in wisteria. This is an ideal spot for early morning coffee. The entrance hall is light and airy thanks to its half-glazed door and gives access to the dining kitchen. Fitted units are in a honey-toned pine and there is plenty of room for a refectory dining table. The adjoining utility room is equipped with additional units, worktop and inset sink. This entire lower ground floor area has a creamy golden ceramic tiled floor. Stairs lead from the hallway to the upper ground floor. The focal point of the upper ground floor is the impressive living room with pink stone feature fireplace and full height patio windows and doors on two sides. On the one side of the room, a glazed door leads onto a gravelled terrace area with views of the garden, the drive and the countryside beyond. On the other side of the room, sliding doors give access to the generously proportioned sun terrace with pond and verandah. The pond is well-stocked with water lilies and incorporates a waterfall feature. Adjoining the living room is a large study featuring six of the original slit windows and a door to the pond / sun terrace. The slit windows really do give this room such atmosphere and an almost baronial character. This upper ground floor also benefits from a further spacious day room with en-suite cloakroom. The first floor comprises three bedrooms, all of which have en-suite facilities. The light and spacious master bedroom has large windows for those expansive views across the rural landscape, and a partitioned en-suite shower room. The second bedroom features ample fitted wardrobes with sliding doors, and a "hammam-style" en-suite shower room with chestnut brown mosaic tiled walls. The third bedroom boasts exposed timbers and no less than seven of the original slit windows, and has a bathroom with a high-ceiling, which is contemporary and elegant. In summary, this lovely property manages to combine a certain air of history and grandeur with welcoming versatility - all in a commanding rural setting.
Hilltop Barn is entirely surrounded by mature gardens and open fields. The gardens comprise large well-kept lawns, established shrub beds, beech hedging, and several mature trees including willow and silver birch. Also within the gardens you will find a greenhouse and a potting shed. There is also a beautiful ornamental pond with waterfall feature. The property benefits from having a long gravelled drive with remote controlled double wrought-iron gates. The double garage has light and power.
Council Tax Band: G, Herefordshire Council.
Mains water (not metered), mains electricity, septic tank drainage.
Oil-fired central heating.
Broadband is available at the property.
