"A traditional country house with multiple annexes, barns and extensive grounds close to Bromyard"
The Property
Instone House is a wonderfully versatile country property, set across rolling Herefordshire countryside close to Bromyard and offering a rare combination of family accommodation, multiple annexes, barns, outbuildings and extensive grounds.
The main house is a traditional four bedroom country home with a warm, characterful feel and a layout well suited to family life. At its heart is an open plan kitchen and dining space with Aga, sitting area and wood burning stove, creating an easy everyday room for cooking, gathering and informal entertaining. A boot room adds useful practicality, while a separate sitting room with wood burner provides a cosier space for quieter evenings.
The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the upper floors. There are four bedrooms in the main house, including a principal suite with en suite, dressing room and far reaching country views. Two further bathrooms serve the remaining bedrooms.
To the rear of the house, a sheltered courtyard creates a natural link between the main accommodation and the annexes. This part of the property brings considerable flexibility, with several independent living spaces offering excellent scope for multigenerational living, guest accommodation, holiday letting or additional income, subject to any necessary consents.
The first annexe is a beautifully converted barn, finished to a high standard and arranged with a generous open plan living space, wood burning stove, bedroom and en suite. Two further one bedroom annexes sit around the courtyard, each with its own character, including exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and attractive brickwork. A further detached building, currently used as a games room, has its own bathroom, private terrace and views across the surrounding countryside.
The wider outbuildings add significant further potential. A substantial barn sits further into the grounds, with its own driveway connection and possible development potential, subject to the necessary consents. Further garaging, carports, stores and workshop space provide excellent provision for vehicles, machinery, tools and rural equipment.
Altogether, Instone House offers an unusual degree of flexibility, bringing together country living, income potential, equestrian or smallholding appeal and a peaceful yet accessible setting.
Externally
The property is set within around 14 acres of gardens, paddocks and rolling countryside, giving a strong sense of space and privacy while remaining close to the boutiques, cafes and amenities of Bromyard.
A long driveway provides generous parking and access to the house, courtyard, garaging and outbuildings. The courtyard to the rear includes an outdoor kitchen, creating an appealing space for summer dining and entertaining, with the annexes arranged around it to create a sociable but private arrangement.
The gardens and grounds offer excellent scope for buyers looking for space, animals, growing, entertaining or a more self sufficient country lifestyle. There is a kitchen garden, areas of lawn, paddock land and plenty of room for children, dogs, ponies and outdoor gatherings.
The barns and outbuildings add further practicality, with garaging, carports and substantial storage for tractors, mowers and machinery. A detached barn set away from the main house offers further future potential, subject to any necessary planning consents.
