Kingsland, Leominster, Herefordshire, HR6 9QE

The Buzzards is a unique and beautifully situated country property set within the picturesque Herefordshire countryside, offering both lifestyle and income potential. A characterful farmhouse provides generous accommodation, complemented by three sympathetically converted, self-contained holiday cottages, all set within approximately 17 acres of varied land. The property lends itself equally well to a smallholding, a ready-made business venture, or flexible multi-generational living.

Approached via a quiet lane, the property enjoys a high degree of privacy within a peaceful setting. Despite its secluded position, it remains conveniently located just a five-minute drive from the highly regarded village of Kingsland, which offers a shop and café, two pubs, a doctor"s surgery, primary school and a vibrant community. The market town of Leominster is also within easy reach, providing a wider range of amenities including supermarkets, leisure facilities, and excellent road and rail links to Hereford, Worcester and Birmingham.

A generous driveway provides ample off-road parking and turning space, leading to a raised terrace and access to the farmhouse. A charming open-fronted porch with bench seating provides access into the living room. This is a delightful and generously proportioned space, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining, featuring parquet flooring, a character fireplace with wood burning stove (incorporating a back boiler), and exposed beams. Dual aspect countryside views to the front and side allow for plenty of natural light throughout the day.

The music room, located off the living room, offers a versatile additional reception space with parquet flooring, exposed beams and a recessed cupboard with understairs space. Adjacent is a snug, providing a comfortable and light space for relaxing, with views to the front and side. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units with worktops over, two sinks with drainers, a gas hob, built-in oven and a traditional Rayburn. There is also a fitted dishwasher, together with a generous walk-in pantry, providing excellent additional storage. Leading from the kitchen is a practical boot room with tiled flooring, door and window to the side, plumbing for appliances and built-in storage. Adjoining, but accessed externally, is a WC with wash hand basin and wall-mounted shower, ideal for washing down muddy dogs!

The ground floor also includes a flexible bedroom, currently used as a home office, with built-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room.

Stairs take you to the first floor, where a landing with a stained glass window, exposed timbers and stonework leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys dual aspect countryside views, a feature fireplace, exposed timbers and a walk-in dressing area with hanging rails and shelving, together with an en-suite bathroom. Bedroom two also benefits from en-suite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are well presented and of good size, with one featuring a vaulted ceiling. A family shower room completes the accommodation.

Outside, the property truly comes into its own, enjoying a superb rural setting which must be seen to be fully appreciated. The formal gardens to the front and side are predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by paved seating areas, mature shrubs, flowering plants and specimen trees. The land rises in parts, offering far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. A wide range of wildlife, particularly birdlife, is regularly seen, emblematic of the property's rich biodiversity.

A tranquil wooded area to the side of the property leads to a range of outbuildings including a three-bay barn, attached stables, garden store, wood store and greenhouse. The barn offers considerable scope for further development, subject to the necessary consents.

Beyond, the land is well arranged and includes a large mere, ideal for boating, together with a brook, pond, bluebell and wildflower woodland, and a variety of mature trees including a notable ancient oak. There are also paddocks suitable for grazing. Two further paddocks house enclosed chicken coops, one incorporating a small orchard of apple and pear trees, with additional productive fruit trees including apple, plum and cherry located throughout the grounds. Part of the land has previously been used as a campsite and may offer scope for reinstatement, subject to the necessary consents.

The property also benefits from three self-contained and well-established holiday cottages, offering an active and attractive income stream for any prospective buyer. Each cottage is tastefully presented, providing characterful and comfortable accommodation, together with private outside seating areas and parking. Further information regarding this business can be made available to genuinely interested parties via the agent.
