Situation

The thriving village of Bartestree is situated just 4 miles east of the Cathedral City of Hereford and is affiliated with the neighbouring village of Lugwardine. The area is well known for its hop fields, arable land, orchards and livestock farming, and is still very much an agriculturally based community. Nestled within beautiful Herefordshire countryside surrounded by fields and woodland, this property is well placed to enjoy a pastoral quality of life within the local community yet has excellent access to the local market towns and regional cities.
