Balance Farm is located in the small village of Titley, surrounded by beautiful Herefordshire countryside. The rolling hills and country lanes provide the perfect setting for excellent walking, cycling or riding. The village is a small community with a local pub, and is just over three miles from the picturesque Welsh border town of Presteigne, which has a variety of independent shops lining the narrow streets. There are also plenty of everyday amenities in the town, including a post office and several convenience stores. Larger supermarkets can be found in Leominster, Kington and Hereford a short drive away.



DESCRIPTION Balance Farm is a substantial Grade ll Listed period farmhouse, with more than 4,000 square feet of accommodation and a variety of attractive period features. Located in the pretty village of Titley, the property has spacious accommodation arranged over three floors. The ground floor has a well-proportioned sitting room, with a brick-built fireplace and a wood-burning stove. There is also a generous semi open-plan drawing room and dining room, connected by an attractive wooden archway. The large kitchen has fitted wooden units to base and wall level, as well as an integrated double oven and hob.



To the first floor there are four generous double bedrooms, three having built-in shower facilities, as well as the family bathroom. Stairs rise from the landing to the second floor, where there are a further four rooms offering additional accommodation.



OUTSIDE The property is approached over a tarmac drive leading to the side of the house, where there is plenty of parking space and access to the coach house.
