Attractive, Grade II listed much improved family home that ticks all one's boxes with the added bonus of an attached, versatile hop kiln currently used as an office, gym and storage. Realise it's full potential and extend the main accommodation or convert to a annexe and holiday let. Surrounded by rolling countryside and set on a quiet country lane with very little passing traffic except the occasional farm vehicles!
The house, as you will see from the floor plan, has a large utility/dog room as you enter, plus a handy WC. An impressive internal hallway with underfloor heating, a well placed boot/coat room and a gorgeous 29' by 23' kitchen; a great space in which to entertain family and friends, cook, and soak up the country views. Step down a few steps to the large larder/pantry, an ideal place to store food and wine.
The hallway leads up to two cosy sitting rooms, one with a log burner and one with a working fireplace. These rooms are south-facing and flooded with sunshine all day long. From here you have access through the grand door to a front lawn, and vegetable patch. An easy area to maintain without too much effort.
Head up to the first floor to find two generous double bedrooms, bedroom 5/office, modern walk-in shower room, separate WC, and new family bathroom. Two further bedrooms, both spacious with good head height, can be found on the top floor.
The current owners have spent a considerable amount of money renovating and improving Rhea House to make her warm and welcoming.
The driveway is gated with easy access to a detached garage and EV point. Private parking is for at least five cars! The Hop Kiln has it's own entrance and is currently used as a home office, plentiful storage and gym.
The nearest pub and only a stone's throw away is the Majors Arms with superb views, log fire and 4.9 on it's reviews...a real locals gem!

LOCATION
Rhea House, off Avenbury Lane, is beautifully positioned amongst the rolling hills of beautiful Herefordshire countryside close to Bishops Frome; a lovely village with great neighbours, village shop for one's essentials, two public houses, village hall offering pilates, yoga, kickboxing, Zumba and licensed bar. I am told there is an excellent Book Club for those wanting to be sociable and drink wine! The local Church is also active and busy.
Dog walking and cycling is a delight with amazing bridleways and country paths in every direction. The vendors have said it's perfectly safe for their dogs and cat too.

More extensive shopping, convenience stores, bakers, petrol stations, doctor's surgery, dentist, veterinary surgery, and pharmacy are found less than four miles away in the nearby town of Bromyard. Legges the renowned farm shop keeps most of the local area alive with it's fantastic array of meats, vegetables and local produce. You need never think of what to cook again.
