Situation

The thriving and much sought after village of Hampton Bishop is situated only 3 miles east of the Cathedral City of Hereford. The area is close to the River Wye well known for its arable land, orchards and livestock farming, and is still very much an agriculturally based community. Nestled within beautiful Herefordshire countryside surrounded by fields, 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.

White Hall Lodge

This attractive, colonial style bungalow sits comfortably in generous grounds of ¾ of an acre, a level and very accessible site.
The property was built in about 1968 and whilst it appears structurally sound, it will benefit from a modern refurbishment; there has been no significant capital investment in many years.
This single storey dwelling provides very generous living space and has further scope with a large loft area which is ripe for a variety of uses (291 sq ft).
Accommodation is divided into two wings off a central entrance hall and lobby, bedrooms to the east wing and living rooms plus kitchen in the west wing. A more modern, west facing conservatory has been added off the dining room.

White Hall Lodge (continued)

The kitchen/diner is focused around a traditional 2 oven Aga, with an adjoining pantry. There is additional domestic utility space beyond the kitchen, linking internally to the garage.
The adjacent dining room opens to the sitting room and the conservatory. There is ample scope to link this room to the kitchen to provide a larger open plan kitchen diner/family room.
The comfortable sitting room is double aspect and overlooks the front garden, it also benefits from a Clearview wood burning stove.
Attached at the rear of the property is a large flat roof garage with ancillary utility rooms which provide excellent domestic storage space and a WC.

The Outside

A private drive rises off White Hall Road and leads into a sweeping driveway with ample parking. This area leads to the attached garage with a separate gate into the adjacent paddock 0.65 Acres).
Generous grounds are divided between a large garden and an adjoining paddock of just under ¾ Acres.
The level garden wraps around the house and is mainly laid to lawn, there is plenty of scope for keen gardeners within this sheltered environment.
The north and west sides of the property are bordered by open farmland, the east side by a newer house and garden.
