A HOUSE near the river Wye in Herefordshire has hit the market this week, boasting six bedrooms, high ceilings and a secluded garden.

The aptly-named "Great Barn" was converted into a house in 2014, but dates from the 1850s, agents Knight Frank say.

They describe the house is Eaton Bishop, near Hereford, as an exceptionally spacious home with high spec contemporary fittings.

It was put on the market this week with a guide price of £1.1million.

The house is in the quiet hamlet overlooking open countryside, and occupies a rural and yet very convenient location about six miles from the city of Hereford.
