Despite being completely refurbished the house retains a fabulous character alongside the necessary modern conveniences.
Outside the gardens comprise lawns interspersed with mature trees, a small orchard and a kitchen garden. A perfectly positioned paved terrace lies to the front of the house and a summer house makes a wonderful place from which to admire the garden at its height.
The property comes with a barn which has been converted into a stable, and the paddocks are located mainly to the rear; the land comes to around 44 acres.
The Highland is located just five miles from Kington and 18 miles from Ludlow in Herefordshire. The area has good local amenities, from Kington to Pembridge and Titley. London is just over three hours by rail. Shobdon airport is within easy reach.
