Little Corras Farm provides a unique opportunity to purchase a traditional Herefordshire smallholding. The farm comprises a period stone farmhouse in need of renovation, and a courtyard of traditional and modern barns, with Class Q Prior Approval for residential conversion set in approximately 15.5 acres of pasture.

The property is approached via a single track driveway and sits in an elevated position with far-reaching views over the Welsh countryside and Garway Hill. The property is located in an attractive rural setting, surrounded by its own 15.52 acres of pasture and with views across to Little Corras Wood.

Little Corras Farmhouse
A characterful unlisted Herefordshire stone farmhouse in need of full refurbishment. The spacious entrance hall with Herefordshire flagstones, continues throughout the ground floor of the property. There is a cozy sitting room, large dining room/reception room with exposed timber beams and open fireplaces. The dining room leads through to kitchen with a back door onto the garden and lean to/greenhouse. There are two further reception rooms which could be used as a utility room, boot room or study.

A staircase from the entrance hall leads down to a cellar with two large rooms with windows and an opening outside for access from the west elevation.

Upstairs, there are three generous bedrooms, benefitting from open fireplaces with views over an orchard and pond and a further small/single bedroom. There is a shower room and landing with airing cupboard.

Garden and Outbuildings
The front garden is laid to lawn with views across an orchard and pond. There is lawn to the rear, with mature trees and shrubs and surrounded by mature hedgerows.

Barns
Adjacent to the farmhouse, is a timber frame and stone outbuilding with a concrete floor. The building could be used for storage or as a carport. Opposite is a stone stable block comprising two stables and store with windows under a fibre cement roof. There is an external stone staircase leading to a hayloft.

The stone buildings present opportunity for conversion to ancillary uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.

There is an attractive courtyard of traditional stone barns including a stone and timber Threshing Barn and further modern farm buildings. In their existing condition, the barns provide useful storage space but also lend themselves to alternative uses, such as stabling/equestrian facilities, conversion to pool, gym or other leisure facilities, ‘party’ barn' as well as the current proposed use for residential conversion.

Proposed Development
Herefordshire Council has granted consent for a Class Q conversion of the barns to a single, larger dwellinghouse comprising three reception rooms and four en-suite bedrooms, plus office space, utility/boot room and garaging.

Once converted, the house will provide approximately 3,971 sq. ft. (369 sq. m.) of accommodation, plus garaging of approximately 484 sq. ft. (45 sq. m.).

On the ground floor, the house will benefit from an entrance hall, open plan kitchen/dining room, sitting room, library, master bedroom with dressing room and en-suite, further bedroom with en-suite and boot room leading to garaging for two cars. A separate building also provides an office space/home gym/leisure facility.

A spiral staircase leads up to the first floor, providing two further bedrooms, both with en-suite.

Outside, there is an outdoor entertaining space in the middle of the courtyard, with stairs leading up to a terraced patio. To the rear of the house, is ample opportunity to create an enclosed garden and parking area.

The planning permission also includes approval for a separate access, which is to be retained by Kentchurch Estate and may be available by separate negotiation.
