Description

Believed to originally date back to 1620, Hackley Farm is a Grade II listed detached former farmhouse occupying an idyllic position nestled amidst the rolling Herefordshire countryside and enjoying far reaching views across surrounding farmland.

The property has many fine period features including extensive exposed timbering and impressive stone fireplaces. The accommodation is in need of improvement and offers an exciting opportunity to create a fine family home within this wonderful rural setting.

Arranged over four floors and extending to approximately 3,336 sq ft, the accommodation on the ground floor comprises an entrance porch, entrance hall, triple aspect sitting room, separate reception room/bedroom with an adjoining shower room and a utility room. On the lower ground floor there is a dining kitchen with a second utility room and a further reception room, which is currently used as a workshop. There is also access to an impressive cellar with doors to outside. On the first floor a split landing leads to four bedrooms, two of which share a Jack n Jill style shower room. Stairs lead to the second floor which has an attic bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette and sitting room.

Hackley Farm is approached by a privately owned driveway leading to an area of parking with turning space. There is access to a stone built outbuilding and a large detached two storey barn, which is currently used for storage but offers potential for other uses (subject to the necessary permissions being sought). The grounds extend to approximately 8.5 ACRES and compromise an area of garden, a mature apple orchard, TWO PADDOCKS with stock proof fencing and further pastureland.
