Opis:

The Green Farm is tucked away in a magical and secluded spot, at the end of a no-through lane. Hallwood Green is a small rural hamlet, situated north of the nearby village of Dymock, bordered by woodland and traditional farmland. This location offers a rural retreat, insulated from the busy 21st Century, yet only a short drive from Ledbury. The cities of Gloucester & Hereford, and the Regency Spa town of Cheltenham are within easy driving distance and there are good road and rail links to the rest of the country.

The Green Farm

* This fabulous Listed cottage is an historic gem and retains much character and charm, including original elm floorboards, latch & brace doors and impressive timber beams.
* The kitchen is serviceable but rustic and will probably require modernisation.
* 3 reception rooms provide comfortable accommodation with an abundance of character.
* Potential for first floor bathroom, subject to the necessary consents.
* The former Victorian cider mill has been sympathetically converted to an annexe, providing living area/kitchenette, 1 bedroom and a wet room. French doors either side open into the garden.

The Outside

* A detached brick & timber barn (about 48 ft x 18 ft) is situated on the edge of the garden. This provides an opportunity for diversification from its agricultural origins, subject to the usual consents.
* Beautiful mature, natural gardens surround the property and comprise specimen trees, shrubs and plants, including a mulberry tree, wild orchids and cottage garden plants.
* A wide variety of plants and wildlife are found at The Green Farm, including lesser horseshoe and other bat species which use the land and outbuildings.

The Outside ctd.

* 3 wildlife ponds are located within the grounds and are a home for the rare great crested newt.
* The historic fields are unmodernised and are a mixture of cider apple orchards and flower-rich grassland, which is a Local Wildlife Site (for wild daffodils). These habitats are currently managed under a Higher Level Stewardship Scheme.
* The property backs onto Hellens Manor woodland, Hall Wood, which is one of the oldest recorded woodlands in the UK and a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
