Property Details

DESCRIPTION
A charming period farmstead in a quiet rural location in the popular Priory Wood area of Clifford. It offers a charming period farm house with scope for modernisation, extensive traditional outbuildings and almost 14 acres of pasture, orchards and garden.

LOCATION
The property is situated ½ mile north of the quiet rural village of Clifford on the Herefordshire/Wales borders. The village straddles the B4350 Hay to Whitney Tollbridge Road, which is weight restricted and this reduces the volume of general and heavy traffic. The main focus of the village is the remains of the Norman castle and there is also a primary school and community centre nearby. The historic market town of Hay-on-Wye is within a few minutes drive from the property and is famous for its second hand bookshops, thus having a very strong tourist based industry events and festivals throughout the year. The town offers excellent local shopping facilities, whilst Hereford, some 18 miles to the west, offers a larger range of shopping and leisure facilities. The Wye Valley itself is one noted for its outstanding natural beauty with its country walks, notably in the Black Mountains, and the abundance of bird and wildlife.
