Lot One - House, Garden, Buildings And 29.54 Acres Of Land - Upper Monkhall is a detached 2 storey property, the core of which consists of an L shaped timber framed and brick structure with a single storey range extending westwards. We understand that approximately 30 years ago, it underwent a complete scheme of renovation whereby it was transformed from a semi-derelict shed and extended.

The outbuildings are situated in a courtyard close to the main house. The principle range, which is immediately adjacent to the house, is original to the site and contains a residential annexe. There is a more recently constructed building, made up of reclaimed materials which comprises garaging and storage.

The gardens have been cleverly landscaped and offer a range of secluded seating areas, floral and herbaceous borders, vegetable garden with raised beds, fruit orchard and a duck pool with a stone folly.

House - The property has doors on all elevations.

A door leading from a covered porch to the rear of the house leads directly into the Kitchen which has a tiled floor, fitted units on two levels, a Belfast sink, a 4 oven Aga and exposed beams. The kitchen is open to the tiled Conservatory/Garden Room which has double doors leading outside to a raised decked area overlooking the garden and the land. Also from the kitchen there is a door to the Utility area/Cloakroom with a WC, Belfast sink and a tiled floor with a further door to the Cellar which is accessed by steps.

Steps in the kitchen lead upwards to double doors and directly into the Main Hallway which has an exposed oak floor, an under stairs cupboard, a door to a garden area and further doors to;
Living Room/Drawing Room with exposed beams and large fireplace with a tiled surround and log burner and a door to the garden,
Lounge with a large inglenook fireplace and a Clearview log burner, exposed beams and a door through to the Inner Hallway/Study with a fully glazed elevation, built-in shelving, exposed brick floor and steps up to a ground floor Bedroom with a log burner in the fireplace and two windows.

Bedroom 3, a large double bedroom with five windows, open fire and exposed beams.

Outbuildings - They comprise two ranges, which are parallel to each other and are connected by a single storey open sided link.

The Barn - The Barn is an original farmbuilding which was probably first constructed as a stable or a cartshed and is believed to be mid to late 18th Century. It was converted to form an indoor swimming pool by previous owners of the property and more recently converted to form residential accommodation, as an annexe to the main house.

The building is a single storey building and timber frame, brick and stone construction.

The front door leads directly into a Living Room (34.78sqm) with exposed oak floorboards, beams, fitted shelving and a Clearview log burner. There is a door through to a separate Living Room (15.04sqm) which also has an exposed oak floor and door to the rear. Two separate staircases at either end of the building are used to access two small bedrooms on the mezzanine level (16sqm), in the roof apex.
A door leads from the larger living room area to a Bathroom which has a WC, bath, shower and basin in a vanity unit.

The Garage - Although it appears to have been part of the original property the garage is a recently constructed building made up of reclaimed materials taken from another site. Originally a complete farm building from a farm at Bromyard, the garage was re-erected on site and now forms three double garages with a workshop at one end and internal floor area of 76.44 sqm.
