Tump House is a glorious gem set within the heart of the sought after village of Woolhope, Herefordshire. This charming village is rich with community activities. There is a monthly farmers market, and boasts a football, tennis, and cricket clubs. There are two village public houses, both brimming with charm and character. Nearby Fownhope, two miles away, has a doctor's surgery, primary school, post office, village shop, and members-only leisure spa with steam rooms, jacuzzi, pool and restaurant. Woolhope is an idyllic country village that is just 7 miles from both the cathedral city of Hereford, and the thriving market town of Ledbury. Ledbury has an abundance of independent shops, prize-winning butchers, supermarkets, both primary and secondary schools, library, swimming pool, and lively arts scene, including a renowned annual Poetry Festival. The historic city of Hereford - home to the world famous Mappa Mundi - offers everything you would expect from a riverside city - excellent shops, restaurants, hotels, schools, colleges, football team and leisure facilities. There is easy access by direct rail from both Ledbury and Hereford to London Paddington. Nearest motorway is Junction 3 of the M50, 9 miles away.
Tump House is believed to date back to the 1700s and has been renovated to a very high specification to create a stylish and comfortable family home. The entrance hall has light stone flooring and is central to the house leading to all principal rooms. The living room is a warm and inviting space with a double width opening from the hallway, has stripped elm floorboards and an open fireplace, ideal for those cosy nights in by the fire. The drawing room mirrors that of the sitting room, also with an impressive inglenook fireplace with a wood burner set within and a picture sash window that looks out onto the surrounding gardens and countryside beyond. The breakfast kitchen is a fantastic space. There is an array of contemporary white units which are complemented by black granite work surfacing and stainless steel fittings, creating an elegant and modern space. There are built in double ovens with room for a free standing American style fridge freezer. To dine you have the choice of informal breakfasts at the high level bar, or for more formal dining there is ample room for a large table and chairs at which to entertain your family and friends, particularly as there are French doors leading directly out onto a garden terrace so that you may appreciate those balmy summer nights in style. The light stone flooring, with underfloor heating, runs through from the hallway to kitchen and into the rear entrance hall, creating that wonderful sense of flow. A downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor. From the front entrance hall, stairs rise to the first of two floors where there are four bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms. The master suite is a rich and luxurious room that benefits from having a separate dressing room with a wall of built in wardrobes and an ensuite with a roll top bath, vanity unit and striking decor. The second bedroom is comparable in size to that of the master, with built in wardrobes and again benefits from a sumptuous ensuite with a contemporary suite, marbled walk in shower enclosure and wooden panelling to dado height for that sleek nautical tone. You go on to discover a further room that houses utility items such as washing machine, tumble drier and boiler, lending itself perfectly for all linen storage and airing. Climbing to the second floor landing, you are struck once more by the ingenious collaboration of aged and fresh styles in the use of a solid glass panel as a banister, alongside the original stripped treads of the stairs. The remaining two bedrooms on this floor are of fantastic proportions, with their vaulted ceilings that show the beauty of the timber frame of the building, and create great character filled rooms. There is a family bathroom that is fashionably tiled, with part of the landing having been fitted out with a built-in storage cupboard.
Tump House benefits from having wrap around gardens, divided perfectly between lawned and ornamental areas. To the rear of the property, a stoned driveway (that offers parking for several vehicles) leads to what is the primary doorway. A terrace runs along the width of the house leading out from the kitchen and makes a fantastic entertaining space, or somewhere calming to sit and enjoy your morning papers with a coffee. Flower beds gently follow the curves of the lawn and contain a multitude of planting, with a box hedge set in a quadrangle with lavender and traditional English roses scenting the air. Mature trees are also in abundance and help to create a secluded and tranquil space in which to let the children play securely and to listen to the wildlife surrounding you. Tucked away to the side of the main garden lies apple trees that are reached by descending railway sleeper and stone steps, leading to a pedestrian gateway passing under a pergola and out to the lane beyond. There is also a detached stone workshop that can be found near the vegetable garden and greenhouse. As with the house, the gardens have been given great thought and attention has been lavished on this truly versatile and appealing property.
