4 bedroom house

Introduction

Bachefield House is situated on a quiet country lane just one mile from the pretty village of Kimbolton, amidst lovely unspoilt North Herefordshire countryside. Kimbolton lies on the Herefordshire Plateau. Natural England describes the Plateau as having “a deeply tranquil rural character” and being “one of the treasures of the area, as it has largely escaped the pressures of modern development”.

Kimbolton has an excellent pub - The Stockton Cross, a church, a primary school and village hall. The historic market town of Leominster lies just 3 miles to the south west, Ludlow 10 miles north and Tenbury Wells, 6 miles north east.

The House and Surroundings

Bachefield House is a spacious stone and part timbered detached character country home which was extensively renovated and extended in 1975 using reclaimed materials. It retains a wealth of character features with exposed timbers. The modern extensions blend seamlessly with the original cottage. Our vendors have continued with improvements including a refitted kitchen, refitted bathroom, an oak framed garden room, an air source heat pump and bespoke hand crafted wooden fascias.

Set on a generous plot of just under 2 acres with paddocks to the front and stunning landscaped gardens which have been featured in several national garden magazines including The English Garden. There is a further paddock at the top. Elevated from the lane the house enjoys wonderful views over the surrounding countryside.
