Upton Bishop is a small, well-regarded village centred on its Grade II listed church and the award-winning Moody Cow pub. The village has an active rural community and a traditional country lifestyle, with a popular farm shop nearby and immediate access to footpaths, open countryside and quiet lanes. The nearby towns of Ross-on-Wye and Ledbury provide day-to-day amenities, while Hereford, Monmouth and Cheltenham are all easily accessible for a wider range of services. Garden Room. 2.29m x 6.00m Leading from the parking court through double doors, the garden room provides a calm and airy arrival. The space has solid oak flooring, an exposed stone wall and ample room for hanging coats, sitting with a drink or dining. The outlook is down the parkland and across to the Malvern Hills. Living Room. 5.35m x 6.27m Finished in a dramatic dark green, the living room has the character of a boutique hotel. A wood burning stove set into stonework forms the focal point, while oak beams and exposed floor joists add to the spectacle. The room is versatile and can be arranged in many ways to suit a buyer’s needs. Dining Room. 5.41m x 3.38m Double hardwood doors lead from the living room into a beautiful dining room with solid marble flooring and a glazed door to the parking court. There is space to orientate a dining table several ways and the current owners allocate one end for dining and the other as a cosy secondary living space. Kitchen. 3.73m x 3.27m The kitchen is fitted with striking dark green, solid oak doors with polished granite worktops. Built in appliances include twin ovens, fridge, an electric hob and dishwasher. Dual aspect windows capture the most dramatic views of the valley beyond up to May Hill. Utility Room. 1.48m x 3.27m Finished in the same dark green as the kitchen and continuing the marble floors and granite worktops, the utility fits a lot into a compact space. It functions as a boot room via the stable door to the parking court, a laundry, and provides additional refrigeration via a full height fridge freezer. Hallway. 5.36m x 3.38m The dramatic hallway is a double height space with a galleried landing. A glazed door opens to the rear terrace and a large picture window frames the valley and May Hill. There is a useful storage cupboard that houses the solar control equipment and a cloakroom with WC positioned off the hall. Landing. The galleried landing branches off in two directions, which provides a natural division when there are guests or for family use. It reinforces openness and maintains light through the centre of the plan. Principal Bedroom. 4.65m x 3.00m The principal bedroom is another double height space that opens right up. The views are tremendous, with the distant lights of Ledbury visible at night. One wall is fully fitted with built in wardrobes with hanging space and shelving, and the airing cupboard is accessed via the bedroom. Principal En-Suite. 1.81m x 1.97m A cohesive haven with a heated marble floor, marble walling, a step in Mira shower enclosure, a wall hung toilet, wood panelling and a freestanding vanity. Compact, luxurious and beautifully detailed. Bedroom Two. 4.26m x 3.38m A feature room, extremely large and accessed via double doors from the landing. Designed to be flexible, it can be used as a very generous second bedroom or a further living space. The vaulted ceiling reinforces the sense of volume and the outlook is over the parking court with views of the garden. Bedroom Three. 3.73m x 3.35m A double bedroom with room to spare and finished in relaxed tones. A Velux window draws in light and frames views to the valley and May Hill beyond. Exposed timbers add character. Bedroom Four. 2.64m x 3.00m Currently used as a second office by the owners. A characterful space with exposed timbers, a Velux window and far-reaching views. It would serve well as a nursery given its proximity to the principal bedroom and is large enough to be a double bedroom, if required. Family Bathroom. 1.89m x 3.27m A beautiful space with a generously sized bath, traditional style brassware and a shower over the bath. Heated marble flooring, heated towel rail, wood panelling, a wall hung WC, plenty of surface space and a feature vanity with a marble style worktop complete the scheme. Approach and Driveway. The impressive approach is defined by a long stone boundary wall, black metal estate fencing and black double timber gates. The asphalt driveway, flanked by lawns, extends for approximately 50 metres to a secondary black estate gate and pillars, which separate the gravel parking court. Parking Court. A generous parking area that allows numerous cars to be parked without any shuffling required in day to day use. A black estate gate leads directly into the parkland to unlock almost limitless parking. A couple of useful timber sheds are currently used as a bin store and wood shed. Four-Bay Detached Barn. Opposite the house stands a four-bay, detached barn. The first bay is a tool store and workshop, accessed via double doors from the adjoining bay, bays two and three interconnect internally and are fitted with electric roller shutter
