Haugh Wood House, Mordiford, Hereford, HR14LT

Occupying an idyllic and peaceful rural location yet just 4 miles from the Cathedral City of Hereford, a newly constructed family house with additional 2 bed mobile home, 1 bed annexe, extensive multi purpose outbuilding and circa 3.2 acres TBV

Situation And Description - Tucked away in a quiet yet very accessible location, Haugh Woods House offers a very rare opportunity to purchase a beautifully appointed and recently constructed family home, which along with ancillary accommodation and buildings offers many different lifestyle opportunities. The property has a two bedroom mobile home/lodge house and a separate annexe both of which could be used for multi generational living, elderly/dependent relative/teenager suite or holiday letting accommodation (subject to any required consents and permissions). The large multi purpose 4 bay portal span building could equally be converted (again subject to any required permissions) to create additional living or working accommodation. The beauty and tranquility of the position lends itself to holiday accommodation and woodland lodges or camping/rural retreat would work very well; equally the field would be suitable for someone wishing to keep horses or ponies having access to the bridleway network very close by.

There are other ancillary buildings again offering possibilities but currently in use as home office, gym and workshop. The original dividers could be reinstated in the barn to create stabling for animals although at present the barn is offering useful storage space.

Originally on the site was a dormer bungalow, raised to the ground and Haugh Woods House was constructed in its place in 2020, completed in 2021. The property offers very spacious and well appointed accommodation with Internorm passivhaus triple glazed windows, bespoke locally hand crafted doors and staircase, limestone flooring, beautifully fitted kitchen with quartz worktops. Multi zone radiators to the first floor and multi zone under floor heating to the ground floor with constant flow combi-boiler as well as high pressure hot water Megaflow Eco solar storage cylinder and high pressure cold regulating tank supplying all showers. The bank of 15x solar panels provides 3.6KW of energy on a south facing aspect (Year 2023 £1500 saving). This combined with the 11KWh of battery storage and 7KW inverters, the house runs on low rate power much of the time. There is also a fully integrated sound system with wall controls in the kitchen, sitting room, games room, and the deck. The fourth first floor bedroom has been converted into a full cinema room with integrated 115” 2.35:1 cinemascope screen, high definition projection, integrated 12ch Dolby Atmos sound system, acoustic control, smart lighting, and cinema seating. This may be available by way of separate negotiation. This room is fully ‘black out’ for the ultimate cinema experience however has concealed windows and can be very easily reverted back to a bedroom if required.
