UPPER Witherstone House is one of four period properties situated in idyllic surroundings in the finest Herefordshire countryside. The property is within a mile of the renowned Cottage of Content Inn and Carey Organic Farm Shop. Village amenities are available in nearby Hoarwithy and Fownhope. More extensive facilities are available in Hereford (7 miles) and Ross-on-Wye (9 miles).

Originally a three-storey farmhouse, the property has 18th century origins. The spacious accommodation has been extensively refurbished in recent years and offers many period features. The accommodation has the benefit of oil-fired central heating and handmade hardwood double-glazed windows, and comprises a sitting room with wood burning stove, farmhouse kitchen with range cooker, 28ft family/sun room with lovely outlook onto rear garden, five double bedrooms, en-suite shower room and family bathroom.

The driveway provides parking for three/four vehicles. Outbuildings include a three-bay garage block with lean-to store, studio/garden room and a stone-built barn with external access, heat, power and water.

The front garden is laid to lawn with borders and a magnolia tree. The rear garden has been landscaped to provide a large rockery, flowering shrubs and steps to a wide patio area with access to the family/sun room.

Beyond the gardens there is a sloping pasture orchard with ornamental and fruit trees and two level terraces. Beyond the orchard is a large paddock leading to recently planted woodland. A summerhouse takes full advantage of the views at the top of the paddock.

The gardens and grounds extend to about 3.21 acres.
