Opis:

The Byre is situated within a small, peaceful development of barn conversions in a beautiful rural location within the hamlet of Much Cowarne which, it is thought, dates back to the Saxon period. This part of Herefordshire lies within the scenic Frome Valley, which is characterised by traditional farms and orchards and is renowned for its timeless and unspoilt rural appeal. The Malvern Hills lie towards the east, and to the north the Suckley Hills and Bromyard Downs. The property enjoys a high degree of peace and tranquillity, yet is conveniently located between the cities of Hereford and Worcester and is also well placed for the local towns of Bromyard, Ledbury and Malvern.
