Location - Strawberry Cottage is set in an idyllic rural location within the small north Herefordshire Hamlet of Hennor. With no immediate neighbours, the property is extremely private yet the market town of Leominster is just 2 miles distance. The town itself has good transport facilities, including bus and railway stations. The area is steeped in history with the imposing Priory Church at its heart and being centrally situated to reach the Cathedral city of Hereford, the beautiful South Shropshire town of Ludlow, and Hay-on Wye and the Welsh Borders are just a short drive away also. Worcester city is a 40 minute drive giving access to the M5, and major trunk roads beyond. The town also offers an excellent range of amenities including traditional high street shops and a number of supermarkets, primary and secondary school, doctor and dental surgeries and leisure facilities to include swimming pool and gym.

Brief Description - This charming property is nestled within its own beautiful and mature gardens and grounds which extends to over 2 acres and is a mecca for wildlife and goes a long way to being energy self-sufficient, through solar panels on the house producing hot water, solar cells on the barn producing a tariff worth £2,000 per annum and a woodland producing over half the wood for the two log burners.

The property itself comprises a traditional cottage which has been sympathetically extended to offer spacious accommodation set over two floors. An enclosed porch to the front elevation leads through to the family living room which forms part of the original property and features an impressive stone inglenook style fireplace with stone hearth, wooden lintel and inset Clearview stove and a display recess to the side, where the original bread oven would have been located. The kitchen leads off and includes a range of matching base and wall units with integrated fridge and freezer, breakfast bar, ample work surfaces, inset sink, tiled splash backs and planned space for range style cooker and further space and plumbing for washing machine and dishwasher. The room opens through to a large family dining room which is lovely and light, overlooking the gardens, has exposed stone walling, a high ceiling and door leading off to the rear hallway/boot room, with a door out to the driveway and gardens.
A further door from the living room leads through to a spacious inner hallway with useful storage cupboards and continues through to a sitting room/study providing further living space with doors leading through to a large garden room which overlooks the gardens and woodlands and features a wood burning stove. There are two bedrooms off the inner hallway and large family bathroom which boasts underfloor heating and includes a panelled bath, separate large shower cubicle, low flush w/c and hand wash basin.
A staircase from the living room leads up to the first floor landing with doors off to all rooms. The principal bedroom is a generous room which overlooks the gardens and has a useful linen cupboard off, which houses the hot water cylinder. There is a further bedroom on the first floor and bathroom which includes a panelled bath, low flush w/c and hand wash basin.

Outside - In this truly unique position, the property sits within 2 ACRES of the most beautiful gardens and grounds and overlooks some of the most picturesque north Herefordshire countryside. The grounds include formal gardens, woodland, meadow areas and productive vegetable/fruit gardens with a driveway sweeping down to the property providing ample parking.
The organic vegetable garden and polytunnel/greenhouses grow a large variety of fruit and vegetables throughout the year with soft fruit to include raspberries, strawberries, red/black currants, blackberries and gooseberries plus apple, pear, cherry and damson trees.
The highlight of the meadow areas are the snakes head fritillary in the spring and orchids in early summer. There are a wide range of wildflower species in the meadow, woodland and hedgerows with over 25 native tree species on the property. This attracts a wide variety of wildlife including over 50 bird species, numerous butterflies and countless pollinators.

Outbuilding - The property benefits from a substantial detached barn/outbuilding with gravelled yard area to the front. The main barn has double opening doors, power and lighting and provides a secure workshop/storage area but also incorporates a kitchenette/wet room on the ground floor and staircase to the first floor office room and could offer potential to create further residential accommodation/annexe/holiday let, subject to the appropriate planning approval. A further large single storey adjoining workshop to the side of the barn provides additional space. The current owners ran a wildflower nursery for several years with an office in the barn and planning permission in place for a small business.
