Description

Tucked away in a peaceful setting just north of the charming village of Madley, this three-bedroom detached home, known as Bage Mill, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and development. Located approximately seven miles from Hereford and about 15 miles from the well-known market town of Hay on Wye, the property strikes an appealing balance between rural tranquility and accessibility to vital amenities. Bage Mill is set on a generous plot of around 1.93 acres, featuring a combination of woodlands, streams, and grassy areas. The property’s layout offers spacious room dimensions and potential for modernization, making it an excellent candidate for those looking to create their ideal family home. While the interiors currently require refurbishment, the existing structure provides a solid foundation upon which to build. The main living areas include a welcoming porch that opens into a kitchen equipped with basic amenities, flowing seamlessly into a double-aspect living room that invites natural light. Additional reception spaces comprise a front entrance hall adorned with a stone fireplace and an inviting sitting room with further views over the grounds. Upstairs, three good-sized bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation along with a functional bathroom. Outside, the property boasts various outbuildings including a practical workshop or potting shed, an outside WC, and an attached garage. The surrounding grounds not only enhance privacy but also foster opportunities for gardening or outdoor recreation amidst picturesque natural features like year-round streams. For those interested in further development potential, adjacent to Bage Mill is a Grade II listed Cruck Barn that comes with planning permission for conversion into a four-bedroom dwelling on approximately four acres—available separately. This adds another layer of investment potential for buyers looking to expand their holdings or explore additional income-generating options. Access to the property is straightforward via an established entrance that offers good visibility onto the road. Utilities include mains electricity and oil central heating; while there is currently no mains water supply, it has historically relied on a reliable natural spring located within its boundary. Overall, Bage Mill provides ample space both indoors and outdoors along with significant renovation opportunities in a desirable location—ideal for investors or anyone seeking to craft their dream residence while enjoying the benefits of country living close to local conveniences.
