Fairview offers a practical and private; yet not isolated, family home nestled on a South-facing slope and basking in panoramic vistas across to Hay Bluff and the Black Mountains. It provides the outbuildings and space with about an acre and a half, to establish a variety of enterprises perhaps Bed and Breakfast, Holiday Lets, Glamping or Smallholding.
Location10 miles from Hereford, Mansell Gamage is historically part of the neighbouring Garnons Estate. Lying half a mile from the main road it has ready access to a Doctor’s Surgery, Ofsted “Outstanding” Pre and Primary Schools and nearby Oakchurch Farm Shop offering extensive shopping, dining and wide range of local produce. The nearby black-and-white villages of Weobley and Eardisley offer further amenities, and Hay-on-Wye lies only 15 miles away.
The PropertyOne enters through the enclosed Oak-framed Porch (del) into a large Reception hall. A bright and open space with white painted beams and flooring, there is discreet coat-hanging under the stairs and a multi-functional area perfect perhaps for workstation or piano.
The Sitting Room features a deep stone fireplace with black tile hearth in which nestles a large Multi-fuel stove, delightful character is retained by two dual aspect windows framed by deep recesses and wide sills in this original 17th Century part of the house.
The Utility Room is really a full-sized kitchen with stainless steel sink and a half, ample storage units, work surfaces and space for both laundry and kitchen white goods. This charming Still Room featuring (del)pan rack and wide tiled window-sill, could be a dedicated space for any home culinary business.
Moving on into the recent stone extension, lies the bright modern Kitchen fully-fitted with white Shaker units, complimented by wood-effect countertops and black slate styled flooring. There is a Belfast sink and spaces for dishwasher and large Range Cooker. Double doors open to the rear terrace and along with the 2 windows enjoy stunning views.
Off the back hall terminating in an external door, lies a Study making an excellent Home Office. To the other side is a Downstairs WC with basin.
Upstairs the Master Bedroom basks in breath-taking vistas from 3 flying mullion windows (meaning when open no centre bar hampers the views). There are also twin, built-in, wood-framed wardrobes with both shelving and hanging.
Immediately adjacent lies a spacious Family Bathroom offering roll-top bath with mixer tap (del), shower cubicle, basin, WC and large chrome heated towel rail.
Along the hall lies an Airing Cupboard (del) and a Single Bedroom with built-in wardrobe and hatch to roof space. One wall has pleasingly rustic wood panelling, a feature shared by the 2 further Single Bedrooms.
A further Bathroom holds a classic white suite of bath with end-mounted mixer tap and shower attachment, WC and basin.
A Double Bedroom with dual aspect, retains an original small leaded window with deep recessed sill and a built-in double closet. A characterful room complimented by white painted wood flooring.
Outside
The extensive grounds include vegetable and fruit plot, orchard, shed with power and terraced gardens near the house. Beyond sight of the house lies a very large Outbuilding originally providing storage and stabling, given the relevant permissions could be transformed into holiday lets or artisan workshop, the possibilities are myriad. Paths wind through wilder Woodland areas to a secure Tool store and nearby large, timber-frame poly-tunnel. The wide gravel driveway provides plenty of parking.
