You will have exclusive use of our spacious two bedroom cottage and our hayloft studio overlooking an historic former farmyard and 16th century farmhouse. The two properties are adjacent and have been sympathetically renovated to provide characterful and comfortable accommodation. This is excellent walking country with many walks straight from the door to woods, fields and streams. Puzzlewood, Clearwell caves and the Perrygrove Rail are all nearby. The pub and village shop are 2 minutes walk. Melanie and Christopher look forward to welcoming you to Church Farm. Church Farm is situated on a quiet lane and is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the tranquillity of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The cottage overlooks the churchyard of St Mary's Church which goes back to Norman times and is close to the famous 12th Century castle and moat. The Hayloft studio has a double aspect across the garden. The properties have separate accesses and are situated on either side of the large barn. This provides a sheltered corridor between the two, as well as being a games room with indoor table tennis and table football, to enjoy on those (rare) occasions when the weather is too inclement to go exploring. The Stables cottage accommodation consists of a well equipped open plan kitchen- dining room with double aspect windows and original oak beams. The circular dining table can extend to seat six people if you have day guests. There is a downstairs cloakroom with sink and WC. The large lounge is through a glazed door and is comfortably furnished and has attractive exposed beams and a glazed wall onto the shared courtyard. An oak staircase leads upstairs where there is a large bedroom with king-sized bed and a cosy twin room. The bathroom has a full size bath with shower over. There is a separate WC. A door from the living room leads into the large shared games barn with table tennis and foosball. A door at the other end of the barn leads to the stairs up to the Hayloft. The Hayloft is a studio with a full size double bed, a comfortable seating area, a small dining corner, a good sized kitchen wall and an en-suite with toilet, basin and shower. There is a full size oven, a domino (two ring) hob, microwave, under-counter fridge with freezer compartment and a wall mounted smart TV. The barn is believed to be originally 18th century, but was substantially rebuilt in the 19th. The studio was created from the original hayloft using traditional materials as much as possible. The walls are of stone, insulated with fibreboard and sheepswool, the floor is oak, and the walls and ceiling are of lime plaster. This makes for a cosy space, adequately heated by radiators from a biomass boiler in the main house. There is a stable door that opens out onto a small south facing balcony at the top of the stone steps. Guests are welcome to sit in the shared sunny courtyard and to access the extensive wooded gardens for exploring and dog walking. Off road parking for 1 car is available adjacent to the Stables cottage; there is more space in the adjacent field. There is ample parking on the road outside which is wide and quiet. There is a public footpath running through the lower part of the garden, not visible from the cottage, which leads to a myriad of circular walks into the Wye Valley and the Severn Vale beyond. Bikes and canoes can be stored in our locked garage and we have an outdoor tap for hosing down bikes and dogs.
