BARGATE MANOR Holme Lacy HR2 6LJ
Bargate Manor Holme Lacy Herefordshire HR2 6LJ A fascina ng detached country residence set in a large plot and well situated in south east Herefordshire, yet within a 10 minute drive of the city centre. Guide Price 695,000 Bargate Manor is one of a small number of proper es that lie in a tucked away rural loca on on the edge of the popular village of Holme Lacy, which is more commonly known for its Agricultural College, and is close to the beau ful River Wye. An extensive range of facili es and services can be found at the cathedral city of Hereford, a mere 10 minute driveway, together with a good selec on of schools and road and rail links to other parts of the country. This very striking and handsome half- mbered house, we understand, was built in the 1950s from reclaimed mbers from a property called The Bargates in Leominster, hence the property s name. It has been well maintained and modernised over the years but s ll retains a wonderful feeling of character throughout with leaded glass windows, some woodblock floors and a number of period fireplaces. The current owners have upgraded and refurbished the kitchen and have carried out a number of other improvements. The accommoda on is extremely versa le with a separate wing to the rear which provides addi onal family space, or workspace, but could also be used to create a separate annexe, subject to any necessary approvals, if required. The property is approached, through its electric gates, along a driveway that sweeps up to a turning circle, with central feature fountain, and an extensive parking area that gives access to a triple bay open fronted garage. The front door leads into the entrance hall with led floor and provides access to large and well-appointed study, the si ng room, which benefits from a fi ed wood burner and a bay window to the front, a separate spacious dining room, which is full of light and has a fi ed wood burner and a lovely outlook on three sides. The kitchen/breakfast room has been completely refurbished by the exis ng owners and has an oak floor and a good range of oak working surfaces. There are a large selec on of storage cupboards and a built-in wine cooler, fridge and freezer and a Belling Classic four oven range style cooker. From here access is gained to a rear hallway, with access to outside, and to the ever useful cloakroom and to a very handy u lity area with ample space for the usual appliances. The hallway also provides access to an office and to a large family room/games room. There is a beau ful large first floor above which is currently used as a bedroom. This rear wing of the property could be used for annexe accommoda on, if required, or provides ample space to work from home. A staircase from the main recep on hall rises to a large first floor landing and gives access to an impressive master bedroom, with windows to the front with far reaching views, a range of built-in wardrobes and cupboards, a light and spacious en suite bathroom with a free standing roll-top bath, separate shower cubicle, wc and bidet. There are three further bedrooms, all of which benefit from the surrounding views over the countryside, and one includes an en suite bathroom and enjoys access to a roof-terrace, with a rac ve wrought iron railings, and views over the gardens and surrounding land. The gravel driveway to the property is flanked either side with a grass border, interspersed with some mature shrubs, with further lawned areas either side of the turning circle. The majority of the gardens lie to the rear and side and extend to 0.8 of an acre, and in essence wrap around the property to provide a good deal of privacy. There are a number of mature trees and herbaceous borders, some pa o areas, one with a pergola and a useful garden shed. It is not overlooked by its neighbours, is well enclosed on all side and enjoys a lovely outlook with countryside walks right on the doorstep.
