The Coach House Edvin Loach Bromyard HR7 4PW

Believed to date from around 1780, The Coach House is an attractive detached stone cottage enjoying a delightful rural setting on the outskirts of Bromyard. Originally forming part of the stables and outbuildings to The Old Rectory, the property was converted in the 1980s and has since been further enhanced by the current owners, including the addition of a single-storey annexe offering excellent flexibility for dependent relatives, guest accommodation or a growing family.

The characterful accommodation retains a wealth of period features including exposed ceiling timbers, deep skirting boards and oak latched doors. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, study, living room with impressive inglenook fireplace, spacious breakfast kitchen with family seating area, pantry, utility and shower room. To the first floor are three double bedrooms, including a dual aspect principal bedroom, and a family bathroom.

The self-contained annexe includes an open plan living/kitchen area, garden room, bedroom and en suite bathroom.

A particular feature of The Coach House is its idyllic setting amidst the Herefordshire countryside, enjoying fine far-reaching views towards St Mary’s Church and across surrounding farmland. The area is renowned for its scenic walks and access to the Bromyard Downs.

The property is approached via a private track approximately half a mile in length off a quiet lane opposite The Steeples Farm house.

Outside, an in-and-out driveway provides ample parking and leads to a substantial detached garage, refurbished externally in 2018 and offering potential for a workshop. The mature grounds extend to approximately 0.8 acres, being mainly laid to lawn with established trees and hedged boundaries, enjoying a high degree of privacy and seclusion.
