Situation And Description

This unique home lies in one of the most scenic parts of west Herefordshire, close to the Welsh border. Set at the end of a long private track and surrounded by open farmland, the property enjoys complete peace and privacy, with views in every direction and no close neighbours. Despite the idyllic rural position, it’s surprisingly well connected — the popular village of Eardisley is just 3 miles away, offering a primary school, shop, pub, café, church and bus services.

The world-renowned market town of Hay-on-Wye, just 7 miles away, is the cultural heart of the area and famous for its bookshops, independent shops, weekly markets, and the internationally acclaimed Hay Festival. It also offers a wide range of cafés, restaurants and riverside walks. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the area is a paradise with walking, wild swimming, kayaking, horse riding, and cycling all easily accessible. The Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons National Park are within striking distance, as are Offa’s Dyke Path and the River Wye.

There is a wide choice of schooling nearby, primary schools in Eardisley, Clifford and Kington; and secondary schooling at Lady Hawkins in Kington, Fairfield High School in Peterchurch, and further afield in Hereford. Independent options include Hereford Cathedral School, Lucton School and Christ College Brecon. Healthcare is available via nearby surgeries in Kington and Hay, and the hospitals in Hereford and Brecon. Railway stations at Hereford and Leominster link to Birmingham, Cardiff and London.

The combination of setting, views, flexibility and easy access to services makes this a rare opportunity to live in one of the most unspoilt corners of the Welsh Marches.
