Description

This expansive former Grade II listed rectory, dating back to the 17th century, offers a unique renovation opportunity for those willing to invest time and resources into restoring its historic charm. Constructed from traditional sandstone, this detached property has been extended over the years, resulting in a spacious layout that includes an integrated self-contained annex suitable for use as additional living space or rental income. With character-infused features such as original fireplaces, exposed wooden beams, and stone mullion windows, this home is brimming with potential for restoration. The current setup allows for six bedrooms and four generously sized reception rooms, alongside an adjacent semi-detached cottage that has previously served as holiday accommodation. Set within approximately 2.5 acres of part-walled gardens and outlying land—including stables and paddocks—this property is ideal for equestrian enthusiasts or those seeking ample outdoor space. While significant work is required to bring it back to its former glory, properties of this nature are seldom available on the market, making this a rare opportunity not to be overlooked. Situated in the picturesque Wye Valley between Hereford and Ross on Wye, it combines rural tranquility with accessibility to urban centres.
