PIKES Farm comprises a beautifully restored period Grade II listed four-bedroomed stone farmhouse standing in a south facing location with glorious views. The house has been updated to retain all of its many character features including the 15th century plank and mullion wall panelling, exposed beams and timbers, retained original fireplaces and two attractive stone circular staircases. Recent improvements have incorporated underfloor heating throughout the ground floor below traditional stone slabs, extensive use of oak, including high quality internal doors and flooring, wood burning stoves and a most impressive drawing room with a large opening in the gable allowing panoramic views from an impressive double height room.

The farmstead contains a range of stone barns and traditional outbuildings, two of which have conversion possibilities (subject to any planning consents necessary), as well as providing accommodation of great character. The farmstead sits near to the centre of about 16 acres of land with a wonderful mix of pasture, woodland, streamside habitat, etc. The land is mainly south facing and borders the pretty Escley brook along its southern boundary.

Pikes Farm sits at the head of the Escley valley, in an area of great unspoilt beauty and enjoys panoramic views, particularly towards the Black Mountains hills to the south and west. Hay-on-Wye is approximately 15 minutes away to the north via a spectacular high level road which enjoys panoramic views over the Herefordshire plain on one side and to the Black Mountains on the other.
