A "CHARMING" three-bedroom stone cottage and one-bedroom barn conversion are for sale in a rural Herefordshire village for £700,000.
The two homes are in a secluded position in picturesque Llanwarne, between Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth.
The Zoopla listing said they are set in "mature, beautifully landscaped gardens", and have both been "lovingly restored, pairing natural materials and a soft colour palette with original architectural features".
"Rich in character, the oldest parts of the house are thought to have been built around 350 years ago," agents Inigo said.
"A series of sensitive alterations over the past two decades have been executed with exemplary care and attention to detail, in order to honour and retain the integrity of the building.
"The adjacent barn has been the subject of a major renovation in more recent years, creating a modern one-bedroom annexe that sits perfectly in line with the agricultural vernacular.
"The annexe currently operates as a successful holiday rental and is offered as a going concern, details of which can be shared on request."
Positioned on a quiet country lane at the edge of the village, the house is tucked away from view on a private driveway.
"A mature rose climbs the handsome, softly coloured stone façade, where a timber-framed glass door leads into the primary living space," it added.
"This is a warm and welcoming room arranged in a predominantly open-plan, with a large log burner set to one side, solid oak flooring underfoot and thick oak beams overhead.
"The ground floor has a natural and easy flow, with the dining room and kitchen adjoining the living room at opposite ends.
"The dining room is a beautifully proportioned space with olive green-coloured walls, original decorative floor tiles and a log-burning stove.
"The kitchen has limewashed walls coupled with terracotta floor tiles and appliances neatly built into bespoke cabinetry, which is topped with solid oak worktops."
A utility space and shower room are also positioned at ground-floor level and linked to the kitchen and outside courtyard.
An open-tread timber staircase leads up to the three first floor bedrooms.
One of the bedrooms is currently organised as a home office/study but could easily convert to an additional bedroom.
The family bathroom has a roll-top bath and a deep-set window framing views onto the surrounding conifers.
The renovation of the adjacent barn has successfully retained its scale and volume, with double-height pitched ceilings intersected by thick oak beams.
A modern kitchen spans one end of the living space, with the sleeping area positioned on the mezzanine above.
The living room is cosy and welcoming, with a log burner providing a natural centrepiece.
Expansive skylights run the length of the roofline, inviting an excellent quality of natural light by day and framing star-studded skies at night.
The barn has its own garden and gate making it completely private from the main house, accessed via a pair of timber-framed glass doors from the living space to a private shingle courtyard, with attractive borders of tall grasses and wavering violet verbena.
