Set on a small country estate with a working farm, overlooking the glorious Herefordshire countryside, this property is bursting with special features and boasts the beauty of the great outdoors on the doorstep.
The traditional village of Madley is within a mile’s walk and offers a well-stocked village store and traditional inn, fish and chip shop, plus a 9-hole golf course, tennis courts and fishing.
