House For Sale £1,200,000
Ashley Farm is a beautiful period property with parts of the house believed to date back to the 15th century. The property, which was an active farm until the 1950s and formerly formed part of the Rodd Estate, boasts a wealth of charming
features throughout.
Each room oozes original character such as exposed beams and flagstone floors, which give you a sense of the property’s age. The ground floor comprises a superb kitchen/breakfast room with bespoke fitted units and aga, a sitting room,
dining room, and striking drawing room with vaulted ceiling and large bay window enjoying the far reaching views. Also on the ground floor is a spacious utility room, study and oak framed conservatory, which leads out to a patio area, ideal for seasonal al-fresco dining and entertaining.
Staircases in both the hall and drawing room give access to the first floor, where there are four double bedrooms, serviced by two family bathrooms. Stairs rise again to an attic room, providing a fifth bedroom.

Viewing Strictly through the agent.<br /><br />The quiet hamlet of Stansbatch sits in beautiful countryside by the historic site of Wapley Hill. The area is ideal for walking, cycling, riding and country sports, with a network of local paths and
bridleways and the Herefordshire Trail long distance path passing through the hamlet. The attractive market town of Kington is around 5 miles away and still has a regular livestock market, weekly country market, regular local food and
craft markets and a monthly art, craft and vintage market. Nearby Presteigne is popular with visitors and locals alike with excellent shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs, and a leisure Centre.
The Stagg at Titley, less than 2 miles away, was the first pub in England to be awarded a Michelin star and although no longer holds the award it remains very well thought of and a popular
destination.
Train stations at Leominster, Ludlow and Hereford offer good connections to the national rail network.<br /><br />The property is accessed via a private driveway over a field and enjoys a secluded setting with outstanding panoramic views over the surrounding
countryside.
The current owners have taken great care to extend the property’s character into the garden and with the help of a garden designer have created multiple “rooms”. These being more formal closer to the house, with box and yew topiary, pleached limes, a knot garden and canal. Further rooms include the rose walk, an intimate and enchanting space, herbaceous borders offer year round interest, as well as orchards, a productive kitchen garden and beyond a pond,
woodland and a beautiful arboretum.
Ashley Farm benefits from a superb range of outbuildings. Two large barns currently provide storage and workshops, although offer the potential to create annexe accommodation if required (subject to the necessary planning
consents). There is a carport which has a room above, again with the potential to convert. In all the property extends to about 7.7 acres.
