Situation

The property is situated within the rural village of Tedstone Delamere, a short distance north-east of the traditional market town of Bromyard; referred to as the "Town of Festivals" with variety of traditional festivals held throughout the year. This property is well placed for the local towns of Ledbury, Malvern, and Leominster, with the Cathedral cities of Hereford and Worcester also within easy reach. This part of Herefordshire, which lies close to the Worcestershire border, is known for its traditional farms, undulating countryside, and productive orchards. Renowned for its scenic and unspoilt rural appeal, this area benefits from good road and rail links to the rest of the country.

Highfield House

This detached family home was built in the 1950’s but has been extended, remodelled by the current owners to create a well presented and modern family home with flexible accommodation.
A key feature of this house is its renewable energy efficiency; an air source heat pump provides central heating and hot water supplemented by 3.1 kW photovoltaic panels on a feed in tariff, which has 10 years payment to run. In the last 12-month period this produced circa 3,200 kW of energy and provided a net income of some £600 after all heating and power use. If including the EV charge costs, there is a near zero energy cost to run this house and two electric vehicles.

Highfield House (continued)

A welcoming entrance hall leads to the open plan ground floor living area; a triple aspect living space with large windows flooding the house with light and making the most of the impressive views and attractive garden.
The modern fitted kitchen has an impressive central island and benefits from a double oven, warming draw, induction hob and walk in pantry.
The dining area links the kitchen to the living room with glazed doors opening to patio areas either side of the house, alfresco spots for morning and evening sunshine.
A door from the kitchen opens to the extension wing and a useful utility room and back door. This also accesses a ground floor WC & shower and the 4th bedroom.

Highfield House

Stairs from the utility lead to a first floor sitting room, also used as a study/work room and occasional 5th bedroom. Patio doors open from here to a lovely, decked balcony with stunning views to the Cotswolds.
In the main house, the first floor provides 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a box room.

The Outside

A sweeping in-out drive with side bay provides off road parking for ample vehicles.
A large single garage can accommodate a car plus domestic storage and freezers; there is also an external log store at the far end.
The enclosed, fenced garden is brimming with colour and interest, benefiting from years of careful attention and thoughtful planting.
The garden is mainly lawned with lots of floral and herbaceous beds. There is also a greenhouse, poly tunnel and fruit cage.
The garden is bordered by open pastureland with stunning panoramic views towards the Cotswolds.
