The Sheriffs is a substantial late Georgian, listed Grade II property around two miles from the Herefordshire village of Lyonshall. Recently refurbished, the house offers well-proportioned rooms which combine period charm with modern comfort.
The accommodation is arranged over three stories and includes the fine late Georgian staircase in the entrance hall and fine open fireplaces in the drawing room and the sitting room, as well as an inglenook fireplace in the east-facing living room. The farmhouse kitchen is large and comfortable and the garden hall has French windows leading out into the gardens.
Upstairs are six bedrooms over two floors including the master suite on the first floor and two en-suite bedrooms in the north-east wing.

Outside there is a spacious lawn area to the front of the house flanked by shrubs and mature trees including a former croquet lawn and a gazebo. To the east is a ‘sunken' garden with a pond and beyond the formal gardens is an area of natural woodland and a further area ideal for the creation of pasture paddocks. The land comes to around 8.5 acres.
The Sheriffs enjoys a delightful unspoiled rural setting in some of the most beautiful countryside in Herefordshire. Lyonshall is two miles and the village of Pembridge four miles, for local amenities and Hereford is just 19 miles; Leominster is ten miles.
The guide price is £950,000. For further information please contact Knight Frank on 01432 273 087 or visit www.knightfrank.co.uk.
