Situation
The Beddw Farm is situated in a delightful, rural location with stunning, elevated and uninterrupted views over its land and the surrounding countryside. The Parish of Dorstone lies within a sought after area of The Golden Valley, in west Herefordshire, close to the Welsh Marches. This property affords a desirable and pastoral quality of life whilst situated just a mile from the pretty village of Dorstone, and close to Peterchurch and Hay-on-Wye.The Beddw Farm
The Beddw Farm is an attractive country smallholding in an idyllic location with a wonderful sense of peace and tranquillity, with a myriad of birdsong and wildlife. The house is believed to date from the mid 1800's, built of traditional stone under a slate roof and has been in the same ownership for over 60 years. An original and unadulterated traditional farm, this property provides a blank canvas for refurbishment or redevelopment.The Outside
The elevated position and environment are quite magical, with ancient woodland, a river valley and waterfalls. The uninterrupted views are said to have inspired CS Lewis's Narnia. The Beddw is idyllically situated at the top of a long private drive, surrounded by its own land, providing a mixture of grazing, woodland and amenity land.Outbuildings
A detached traditional stone barn (833 sq ft) is located adjacent to the end of the farmhouse attached outbuilding. The barn is fairly derelict but offers great potential to create additional accommodation or to link with the existing house, subject to planning permission.The Land
This truly is a magical and extremely private farm with no public paths, nearby roads or power cables, save for supply to the house and the next farm. The land is located within a ring-fenced block, in a private river valley and is mostly sloping land but with several more level fields above the farmhouse. The land consists of a number of stock fenced paddocks (about 28 acres) interspersed with areas of traditional, ancient, native woodland (some 9 acres) and is divided by a river flowing through the valley. This picturesque river has a series of waterfalls and runs the full length of the land, providing a water source for livestock.In total, the land amounts to some 37 Acres.Services
