Why We Love Trereece House

Set in a heavenly peaceful spot, this fantastic historic property is offered in immaculate order and encapsulates the charm and enchanting nature of a Herefordshire farmhouse.

Trereece House is an extremely attractive Grade II listed stone farmhouse set in the heart of the Herefordshire countryside. The house, which has been beautifully and lovingly restored over the years, is configured over three floors and features a traditional ‘L shaped’ layout. The house dates from the 15th century, with 16th and 17th century aggrandisements and additions, offering over 6,500 sq. Ft of versatile accommodation in the main house.

A fittingly smart and period oak front door is accessed via a lovely entrance porch with pretty internal murals and benches. Inside there are many characterful features that one would expect of a house of such historic merit, including exposed beams, fantastic timber doors, period fireplaces, flagstones, and timber floors. The porch opens into a large flagstone hall with a log burner, which doubles up as an extra reception space. The dual aspect green-painted drawing room with stone chimneypiece and pretty garden views is ideal for entertaining, as is the atmospheric formal dining room with log burner and beautiful Tudor-style wall paintings. The reception hall offers an additional sitting room. There is a separate family room, with its beamed ceiling, large leaded window and impressive inglenook fireplace with log burner and original bread ovens, which leads from the kitchen/dining area.

Inevitably with a house of this nature, the kitchen remains the heart of the home. It is located in the former Tudor granary barn, which has been sympathetically converted to create the most wonderful open plan kitchen with bespoke handmade cabinetry, sociable island, aga, a large adjoining informal dining area and a pantry. The kitchen also gives access to a well-placed back entrance hall/boot room which is perfect for coats and muddy paws. White goods and laundry are hidden away in a separate utility room with butler sink, painted panelling, storage cupboards, overhead laundry rack, and separate downstairs loo.

Upstairs are six good-sized bedrooms. The bright and airy dual aspect principal bedroom suite is situated in the old granary and cider barn. The principal bedroom enjoying a fantastic high vaulted ceiling with ancient beams and a smart modern ensuite bathroom. The house has five further bedrooms and two further bathrooms, all great sizes and beautifully appointed. The library, which was formerly part of the granary barn, features soaring ceilings, extensive bespoke oak bookcases, and pretty wallpaper.

Garage and Annexe

A generous gravelled parking area is complimented by a stone garage block for five cars, together with a log store, which is also enhanced by a very good annex above. This space currently serves as a gym, but it could be used as an additional bedroom/study overflow accommodation.

Glorious Gardens and Grounds

The gardens at Trereece House provide a number of private and secluded areas, and are planted with a variety of specimen trees and shrubs and divided into themes, including a walled cottage garden with Alitex greenhouse, coldframes, cutting and vegetable beds, and a rose garden. There is also a very pretty sheltered flagstone terrace, as well as a sunken terrace which is the perfect spot for summer barbecues and entertaining. The land is divided into four fenced paddocks, some of which are bordered by the Garron Brook. It is worth noting that in addition to the 6 acres there are a further approx 40 acres available by separate negotiation. This land includes a spring-fed lake with boathouse, fishing rights, ancient woodland and arable land. We can provide more information about this on request.
