For sale on Zoopla: old Herefordshire farmhouse and former B&B

Bodenham Farmhouse in Much Marcle is thought to date back to the mid-16th century, agents Savills say on Zoopla.

The current owners are only the third family to own the home and for 14 years ran it as an award-winning bed and breakfast, they add.

Savills say the property is a registered smallholding, and while now having only Soay sheep, the owners have had chickens, horses and highland cattle.

The ground floor of the grade-II listed six-bedroom house is made up of a good-sized entrance hall with the two main reception rooms flanking.

The drawing room features an ornate fireplace, elegant cornice, exposed beam and a charming window seat, and the dining room opposite also has a window seat, impressive marble fireplace and exposed wooden floors.

Savills say an attractive sitting room is situated beyond and adjacent to the kitchen with exposed beams, an impressive fireplace with wood burning stove and two sets of French doors leading to a side courtyard.

The kitchen and breakfast room is bright and welcoming with a tiled floor, and a wealth of cupboards with views to the side and rear.

Day-to-day access is via the side entrance beyond the kitchen which leads to a good-sized utility and drying room with separate cloakroom adjacent.

The first floor has a pleasant landing area, they say, and three bedrooms with en suite facilities and one further bedroom.

The second floor has a large landing enjoying the light from the Lunette window and two bedrooms together with a shower room.

From the main hallway, stone stairs lead down to a good-sized dry cellar and secure external access.

Outside, there is a shared driveway and parking area, as well as stone steps to a large lawned area.

There is also a courtyard space with secure storage and tiered, raised beds for vegetables beyond.

There are also two paddock areas, which agents say would be good for grazing animals, as well as a banked wooded area with a treehouse.
