A FARMHOUSE in Herefordshire with five bedrooms is for sale for the first time in more than 50 years – and it has a £1.5 million guide price.

Marsh Farm in the rural hamlet of Sellack, near Ross-on-Wye, boasts far-reaching views and character.

Agents Morris Bricknell say on Zoopla: "Occupying a tranquil location, with far-reaching views, the farmhouse, having been in the family since 1967, has recently been lovingly renovated to offer modern living, whilst retaining a wealth of character."

Built of stone, Marsh Farm offers "fantastic" partially open plan ground floor living.

The agents say it benefits from a large extension with bi-fold doors leading to the adjacent patio area.

The modern kitchen includes a variety of built-in appliances and a central breakfast island, which opens into the dining area of the extension.

The listing says it is bathed in light from the roof lanterns.

Then upstairs there are four double bedrooms, two with en-suite facilities as well as a family bathroom.

Agents say adjoining the farmhouse is a one-bedroom, self-contained annexe, offering additional space for perhaps multi-generational living, or the opportunity to generate an income through holiday accommodation.

The home also has two, large outbuildings, one with three-phase power and phone line, and the other having power and water connected.

"These offer a variety of possible uses including garaging, workshops or providing the possibility of additional accommodation.

"Two of the buildings are within the domestic curtilage and we are informed would not require planning to convert into ancillary accommodation; however we would advise any potential purchaser to take their own legal advice on this," agents say.

"For those with equestrian requirements, the open-fronted Dutch Barn approx. 49'3 by 19'6, offers the ideal space for the addition of stables, approximately 4.5 acres of grazing, as well as stunning local hacking opportunities. This building also has power and water connected."

Summing up the home, for sale with a guide price of £1.5 million, agents say it has been fully renovated, including a new Worcester oil-fired central heating, and a biodigester sewerage system.

"Marsh Farm offers character and charm, combined with modern appeal.

"In total, occupying approximately five acres, with three large outbuildings, located close to the popular Loughpool Inn, yet within a short drive of the bustling market town of Ross-on-Wye, Marsh Farm is a lovely family home, with many desirable attributes, and could become an equestrian property, or a classic car owner's dream."
