Stone House, Leominster

About this property

Stone House is a charming 400 year old cottage in a beautiful rural setting, just a short drive from Leominster. Boasting endless character throughout, the cottage has been lovingly restored to offer guests all the modern comforts you would expect in a luxury hotel, whilst retaining its historic ambience of a traditional home.

Once the local stonemasons abode and workshop, Stone House has been transformed into a stunning holiday home for all seasons with all the character and charm of a bygone era, seamlessly blending with all the modern comforts you could wish for today. The original wooden vertical beams have been exposed to create a stunning partition wall that will take your breath away as you walk into the flagstone floored entrance hall which is central to all the cottage has to offer.

The open-plan sitting and dining area is dominated by a traditional inglenook fire place, with a wood burning stove and two large sumptuous sofas, making it the perfect place to spend those cosy winter evenings. To the rear of the room is the dining area with a large table seating six and a beautiful handcrafted window seat with views across the garden. The bespoke fitted kitchen has been well-equipped to allow even the keenest chef to prepare those special meals for friends and family and leads through to the well-equipped boot room and back door of the cottage.

Across the hallway you will find a tastefully furnished snug with enough sofas and armchairs for everyone to gather round the large wall-mounted Smart television. The ground floor shower room consists of a walk-in shower and a separate utility room with sink, washing machine and a traditional wooden pulley system clothes airer.

A beautiful oak staircase leads up to the three well appointed bedrooms. Each has been individually furnished with beautiful fabrics and antique chairs to provide a tranquil and calm sleeping environment. Each room has wonderful views across the surrounding countryside and plenty of natural light comes through the traditional solid wood windows. There is also a family bathroom on this floor with a full length bath, ideal for a relaxing soak after a day exploring.

Attention to detail throughout this wonderful cottage ensures that you will want for nothing during your stay and the outside space is no different. To the front of the cottage next to the original stone cider press is a large solid wood table and chairs, ideal for alfresco dining or evening drinks. To the side of the house looking out to the Herefordshire hills is a large patio area with an overhead triangular sail providing shade whilst you relax on the outdoor sofa or cook up a feast on the pizza oven.

Nature lovers can enjoy the wide variety of birds that come into the garden every day and you are encouraged to take your morning coffee out to one of the garden seats and surround yourself in the magnificent birdsong. The small field opposite is home to some handsome rare breed sheep and if you are lucky you may spot a deer venturing down from the hills to wander into the garden.
