Nestled within beautiful Herefordshire countryside surrounded by fields and woodland, this property is situated privately off the main road but well placed for easy access to the local market towns and regional cities.

The fitted kitchen/breakfast room offers plenty of storage, but would benefit from some updating. A door from the kitchen leads out to an attractive patio terrace, perfect for seasonal dining.
The bedrooms are situated over 2 floors and are all very spacious and light. The voluminous principal bedroom has a double aspect, enjoying views over the garden and benefits from fitted wardrobes/storage and a balcony. The spacious bedroom on the second floor has potential to create a bedroom suite to incorporate a separate dressing room and en-suite (subject to the necessary consents).
There are two family bathrooms, also situated over 2 floors which would benefit from some updating.
The property retains many original features, including high ceilings, sash windows, cornicing and traditional interior wooden shutters, which give a charming insight into the past.

East Hagley Court is approached via a long, gravelled private (but shared) drive which leads to ample parking to the front of the property.
The large and private established gardens are planted with a variety of flowering shrubs, specimen trees and flowering plants, and offer plenty of scope for keen gardeners.
There is a small orchard area with a selection of fruit trees, including apple and plum, an old mulberry tree and a delightful dell with summerhouse looking back to the main garden.
The paddock (Just under 1 Acre) has been left to become a wildlife area and, with the two wildlife ponds, attracts a large diversity of plant and animal life, including an abundance of butterflies.
