Great House in Herefordshire is a very fine village property dating from the 18th century and built of mellowed stone. Character features include exposed beams, sash double-glazed windows, stone floors, fireplaces and log burners.
Recently refurbished, the accommodation is comfortable and well-appointed; an important room is the farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room with oil-fired Aga and double Belfast sink. Reception rooms are attractive and comprise a sitting room and a drawing room; the bedrooms are spread over two floors upstairs and all have delightful views, while ample loft storage is accessed by a pull-down ladder.
An annexe on the ground floor comprises a sitting room, bedroom and shower room.
