The hamlet of Brinsop is sparse with houses and plentiful of countryside, but with Credenhill and Tillington just a short drive away there are plenty of amenities close by including village shops, takeaway restaurants, a pub, schools and a medical centre.

Built circa 1860, this Victorian school house became a private home in the 1930s and has been fully renovated and extended in recent years. The home has a lot of original character and features, combined with modern comforts. The gothic arch windows, original beams and doors are especially stunning and it's bright and airy throughout with big windows and doors allowing light to flood in. With fantastic views of the countryside, it is situated in one of the most sought-after locations in Herefordshire yet is only 15 minutes drive to Hereford centre - you couldn't find a more perfect location.

The property:
The striking front door brings you into the entrance hall with an original gothic arch leaded window, setting the theme for this period home. Leading off the entrance hall is the large living room with Victorian cast iron fireplace, log burner, tri-fold doors and a beautiful gothic arch window with stained glass feature allowing natural light into the room. There is a further reception room used as a snug/second living room which leads off the kitchen and is bright but cosy. This room gets lots of natural light from the French doors which open out onto the front garden.

The kitchen has some ornate features, duck egg blue hues throughout and a contrasting black granite worktop. The kitchen is equipped with an electric Stoves double range induction cooker (available by separate negotiation), and a 1.5 bowl stainless steel sink and granite drainer overlooking the back garden. It has plenty of storage and worktop space for a keen cook and a moveable kitchen island allowing some flexibility. From the kitchen you have access to a good size utility room with a handy back door to the garden and two skylight windows which match the original, gothic arch leaded window to the side. The utility has a sink, and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and plenty of room for muddy boots and dogs!

Overlooking the back garden is an oak-framed extension which is currently used as a dining room and is beautifully in keeping with the style of the home. There is a convenient second bathroom located next to the living room and dining room, with a toilet, hand basin and curved, walk-in shower cubicle.

The straight staircase is set between the kitchen and living room, leading to the first floor landing.
The first floor continues in the same style as the rest of the house, with the landing featuring a wonderful double skylight with newly fitted Velux windows and integral blinds, all controlled by a smart phone app or remote control units.

The master bedroom is impressive and elegant, boasting a vaulted ceiling with large mirror detail which cleverly enhances the feeling of light and space. Handmade, bespoke fitted wardrobes cover two walls, designed to match the features running throughout the home, and an ornate, cast iron radiator adds the finishing touch.

Both bedroom 2 and 3 are doubles, and have period features and exposed oak beams, which contrast beautifully with the neutrally-coloured walls. The final room upstairs is the family bathroom which is light and spacious and consists of a Laura Ashley suite comprising bath with rain shower, a toilet and a hand basin.

Gardens:
At the front of the house is a garden to both the left and right, with a tiled-roofed pergola in the rear left corner. A gothic brick archway leads through to the landscaped back garden which features a courtyard area with porcelain tiles, a large, low maintenance composite decking area with black metal railings and an array of fruit trees which frame the endless countryside views. This is a wonderful space for dining, entertaining and relaxing and is extremely private, quiet and peaceful. To the side of the patio is a large wooden tool shed and a brand new metal storage shed and to the left is the garage with the water filtration plant room (installed in 2020) under the garage stairs leading up to the workshop.

Garage/ outbuildings:
The double storey garage is a beautiful building in itself, with stained glass feature windows. The downstairs is currently used as a gym and storage space with plumbing for an extra washing machine if needed, with the upstairs consisting of a workshop and separate office. This area was boarded and converted to a workshop in 2021, when electricity and water/waste was added. It's a great space and would work well as an office or studio when working from home, but also has the potential to be turned into a holiday home or annexe for a relative, if needed.

Planning permission:
Full planning permission granted in September 2023 for an extension to the house and garage. Details can be found on the Herefordshire planning search using reference: P230908/fh
