Description:


Marden is a pretty, rural village located on the banks of the River Lugg, just 6 miles north of the Cathedral City of Hereford.

Situated amongst beautiful Herefordshire countryside, the property is well-placed to enjoy a rural quality of life and village atmosphere, yet is within easy commute of the local market towns, larger towns and cities.
