Walnut Barn:
Converted in 2016, this beautifully bright, ground floor barn conversion blends modern comfort with relaxing country charm. A jaw-dropping panoramic view of the far-reaching rural landscape is gloriously showcased from the open-plan arrangement. Inside, the deceptively spacious property - measuring approximately 2250 square feet - carries a versatile layout which could afford opportunity for multi-generational living or a potential rental income. Outside, the enchanting garden is divided into a series of "rooms", each bringing a unique delight. In addition a secure gated entrance provides safe and extensive parking areas.
If of interest, there are potentially two additional pockets of garden/land available, both adjacent to the property - these are available under separate negotiation. Please ask our team for more information.
Location:
Walnut Barn is tucked away in the serene south Herefordshire countryside, on a historic farm with roots dating back to the 14th century. The neighbouring village of Whitchurch is particularly sought after, in part because of its Church of England Primary School, which received 'Outstanding' and 'Good' grades during Ofsted's 2025 inspection. The popular community-spirited village shop, Woods of Whitchurch, is another jewel in Whitchurch's crown. The welcoming store stocks locally produced goodies and also operates as a coffee shop and takeaway. In addition, there is a village hall, a reputable MOT centre, and some highly commended hospitality venues - The Old Court Hotel and The Potting Shed - plus a post box and bus stop. Another idyllic village, a short distance from Walnut Barn, Llangrove, offers a Church of England primary school, which secured an 'Outstanding' rating from SIAMS and a 'Good' grade from Ofsted. There is also a popular village hall, a church, and a reputable country pub, The Royal Arms, which regularly earns rave reviews online for good food, excellent beer, and an inviting atmosphere.
The two popular market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth give more comprehensive amenities, including highly regarded secondary schools, supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, leisure facilities and independently owned shops. The Forest of Dean is close too, offering relaxation and a peaceful retreat.
Walnut Barn is also ideally placed for those requiring good transport links. The A40 is around a mile away; the eastbound road provides a direct route to Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds. Meanwhile, motorists heading in the opposite direction can journey towards the M4 at Newport, giving access to Cardiff and London. In addition, the M50 motorway begins in Ross-on-Wye, around seven miles away, and this gives good access to the M5 motorway.
The Home at a Glance:
Walnut Barn boasts a capacious open-plan living space that forms the picture-perfect heart of the home. A rich walnut floor flows seamlessly throughout, while a partially vaulted ceiling with exposed trusses enhances the sense of volume and architectural interest. This impressive dual-aspect area is framed by a series of bi-fold and French doors that open onto a wooden deck and showcase the spellbinding rural surroundings. During the warmer months, the space lends itself beautifully to entertaining, with a centrally positioned ceiling fan circulating fresh air. In winter, the room is equally inviting, centred around a striking double-sided fireplace, currently fitted with a NEW hyper-realistic electric wood burner with steam effect, creating a wonderfully cosy ambience.
At one end of the open-plan expanse lies the generous and recently upgraded kitchen, with new kitchen doors, pelmets and kickboards installed in 2025 and sourced from Wren. Elegant emerald green shaker-style cabinetry is complemented by granite worktops. Appliances include a Rangemaster cooker set within a grand alcove, a Blomberg double oven, a Beko induction hob, an integrated Beko dishwasher, integrated wine cooler, alongside housing for an American-style fridge-freezer. Generous preparation space completes this well-appointed culinary hub. On the opposite side of the double-sided fireplace, a versatile triple-aspect room offers a wealth of possibilities. Bathed in natural light, it could be a private reception room, while a subtle elevation change creates a second zone-ideal for use as a study, an office, and a music room. Alternatively, this adaptable space could function as an additional bedroom.
Beyond the open-plan living area, a hallway provides access to a cloakroom and the principal suite. The generously proportioned bedroom is filled with natural light and enjoys captivating views across the garden and sprawling countryside, framed by bi-fold doors, a separate glazed door, and full-height windows. Further features include a partially vaulted ceiling and a striking antique feature fireplace. The principal suite also benefits from a walk-in wardrobe with floor-to-ceiling storage along three sides, as well as access to an elevated loft storage area. The en-suite bathroom is finished with vibrant brick-bond tiling and comprises a spa bath, countertop vanity unit, WC, heated towel rail and illuminated mirror. A discreet cupboard within this space houses the utilities, with provision for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.
The final section of the property offers excellent flexibility and could function as a fully self-contained annexe, with its own independent external access and small private garden. It includes a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes spanning one wall, and a high level additional storage area, running the entire length of the bedroom. The bedroom leads through to a Jack-and-Jill shower room finished in the same stylish brick-bond tiling as the principal bathroom. The shower room features a large walk-in shower, pedestal basin and WC. This in turn opens into a studio room, currently arranged as an open-plan living space. A kitchenette occupies one corner, fitted with base and wall units, a sink with a mixer tap, and a cooker with extractor above. There is ample space for both lounging and dining, though the room could equally serve as an additional bedroom. A glazed door opens onto a private, enclosed corner of the garden, bordered by closed-board fencing and offering an opportune spot for alfresco dining.
The Great Outdoors:
Outside, the garden offers a private and highly desirable country retreat. A wooden deck provides the perfect vantage point from which to admire the sublime pastoral views, while the grounds surrounding Walnut Barn are equally captivating, framed with roses and lavender, a large raised fishpond sits at the heart of the garden, encircled by a gravel path and complemented by raised beds made from vintage wooden sleepers, planted with an engaging variety of shrubs and seasonal blooms. For those with green fingers, a new greenhouse and raised-bed kitchen garden provide excellent opportunities to grow fresh produce. Espaliered pear trees, dwarf apple and plum trees, and rose bushes are planted in raised beds. A separate cutting garden has been planted to cultivate flowers to enjoy indoors. Alongside the small lawn, a good sized vegetable garden with raised beds has also been created, through an archway of blue and white wisteria, leading to productive pear trees and roses, alongside fruit bushes and herbs. Thoughtfully arranged and beautifully maintained, the garden offers year-round interest and tranquillity.
A moon gate leads to a secure and electrically gated car parking area, which is additional to the two-car parking area at the front of the barn.
