Zillian is a deceptively spacious property offering an appealing mix of original character rooms and larger modern rooms. The original part of the property dates back to circa 1750 and is constructed of a timber frame with rendered brick infills, under a clay tiled roof, with twin dormer windows and a stone and brick chimney. The rest of the property is comprised of two modern extensions, one to the right and the other to rear of the original cottage. These are constructed of brick cavity walls under clay tiled roofs with the rear extension featuring twin dormer windows. The property has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment, yet offers scope for an in-going buyer to put their own stamp on it.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with the ground floor comprising a large kitchen-diner (former garage), triple aspect sitting room with fireplace, dining room with exposed beams and inglenook fireplace, study, large utility room (former kitchen), secondary kitchen, boot room, and cloakroom. Upstairs, there is a large master bedroom with dressing room and ensuite shower room, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Located in a rural area with excellent connectivity, Zillian is just a mile away from a petrol station with a convenience store, situated at the crossroads of main Hereford/Worcester and Leominster/Gloucester roads. The property is equidistant to Hereford, Leominster, and Ledbury, all of which are just 10 miles away. Worcester and the M5 are a mere 18 miles away, making it easy to travel to nearby areas.??The Hop Pocket Shopping Village is only three miles away. It offers a variety of options, including a restaurant, garden centre, antiques, and a Farm Shop that offers locally sourced meat and produce.
OUTSIDE
At the front of the property there is a stone wall topped with a close board timber fence. The entrance to the property is to the left of the house where there are stone pillars with ball finials and twin five bar timber gates which open into a large driveway that spans the front of the property and leads to a generous parking area and garage. The garage is timber framed with an up and over door and pedestrian backdoor.
At the side of the house there is a further gated and fenced area which provides access to a courtyard at the rear side of the property. Beyond the courtyard, steps lead up to an area on the left where there is an oil tank and septic tank, and then beyond to a timber framed workshop with double doors, window and sheet panelled roof and walls. Beyond the workshop, there is an enclosed vegetable garden and block paved patio with a path leading to a log cabin. The log cabin benefits from a dual aspect with light and power and is currently used as a gymnasium. There is a raised deck at the back of the house providing a sheltered sitting area overlooking the surrounding countryside. Most of the garden extends to the side and rear of the house and is lawned with assorted mature trees, and mature hedges to the boundaries.
