Farm built in 1710 in Herefordshire on market for £875,000

Firs Farm, a grade II listed property, is said by the estate agents to be an "exceptional" former farmhouse in the sought-after village of Michealchurch Escley, near the Welsh border.

The agents said the home is "steeped in history and character" and has "panoramic countryside views" of the Michealchurch Estate.

They said it has an "impressive and deceptive layout and size".

The annexe can be accessed via a door from the entrance hall or a rear door from the wrap-around garden.

The agents said this "can be versatile and utilised as a larger extension of the main home, potential business opportunity or excellent guest entertainment space".

The property also has three barns, one of which has undergone partial conversion.

The home is surrounded by 3.5 acres of land with mature gardens, walks, waterfalls, and a lake.

The estate agents said the property has "great potential for a variety of lifestyle or business opportunities subject to necessary consents".

The property is accessed via a large private driveway through farmers' fields.

The village of Michealchurch Escley is described by the agents as one of Herefordshire's most desirable rural villages, nestled close to the Welsh border.

They said it is set in some of the county's "finest countryside" and offers "exceptional walking, riding and outdoor pursuits".

The property is also within convenient reach of the market towns of Hay-on-Wye, Hereford, and Abergavenny.
