Maypole House is a unique and characterful four-bedroom detached home set in splendid rural isolation, surrounded by open farmland approximately seven miles south of Hereford. Accessed via a long private un-even track, the property offers peace, privacy, and sweeping countryside views, along with excellent potential for a self-sufficient lifestyle. A timber-clad two-bedroom lodge-style cabin sits separately from the main house.



The main house boasts a spacious and bright 6m x 6m reception room featuring hardwood flooring, a log-burning stove, a bespoke curved staircase, and triple-aspect windows that flood the space with natural light. The country kitchen offers fitted units, room for a range cooker and white goods, and a vaulted dining area with an exposed beam, leading through to a conservatory with garden access. A separate study/snug provides additional flexible living space, and one of the four double bedrooms is conveniently located on the ground floor, making the layout adaptable to various needs. Upstairs, three further bedrooms are served by two bathrooms—one with a double shower and one with a bath—accessed via a light-filled corridor with multiple windows framing the surrounding views. The property also includes an internal garage accessed through a large walk-in larder, ideal for storage. The detached potential annex features two bedrooms, a shower room, kitchen/diner, and lounge, all finished in a charming log cabin style.



The grounds offer ample scope for growing food, keeping animals, or simply enjoying the outdoor space, with solar panels helping to reduce energy costs and a generous parking area for multiple vehicles. The owners have thoughtfully enhanced the home’s eco credentials with quadruple glazing, thick Kingspan insulation (up to 300mm in the roof), a highly efficient wood-burner, and private services including a well, septic tank, and solar PV system that generates feed-in tariff income. LPG central heating is available but rarely needed, thanks to the thermal mass of the thick stone walls.



The nearest village is just a two-minute drive, with Hereford only ten minutes away, offering the perfect balance between rural seclusion and accessibility. Having lovingly maintained and upgraded the home over the past 15 years, the current owners are now setting off to sail the world, making this a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special property with character, versatility, and real lifestyle potential. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything Maypole House has to offer.



Agent note: There is a vehicular right of way for the owner of the adjacent field over the track for access to the field. There is also a public right of way over the track.
