Location
The parish of Allensmore is set in glorious Herefordshire countryside while still enjoying good connectivity to popular nearby market towns and the cathedral city of Hereford.

The village of Kingstone is less than a mile away and provides a wide range of everyday amenities, including primary and secondary schools, medical centre, traditional pub, and a village shop and post office. Just over a mile from Little Brookfield is the well-regarded Lock's Garage and farm shop, stocking a wide selection of locally produced groceries and provisions, as well as animal feed and fresh eggs.

The Home at a Glance
Little Brookfield offers a wonderful opportunity to embrace a rewarding rural lifestyle, without being remote or cut off. The established kitchen garden features a greenhouse and raised beds for growing vegetables, and the abundant orchard includes a fruit cage and log stores. The grounds extend to around half an acre and, together with the stable and tack room, could accommodate the keeping of hens or small livestock if required.
The charming cottage-style garden is packed with shrubs and plants, gloriously colourful throughout the spring and summer. A small garden pond creates a haven for wildlife and a peaceful spot to enjoy magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. The stable is currently used for storing garden equipment, and there is an additional workshop nearer the house.

A Step Inside
A bespoke stable door opens into a welcoming reception room that immediately sets the tone for the home. Currently used as a formal dining room, this characterful space with its exposed beams and timbered wall, dates back to the 17th century and is the oldest part of the house.
It leads through to a lovely kitchen, with marble work surfaces, fitted oak cupboards and tiled floor. A Stoves four-oven range cooker, synonymous with rural living, is right up to date with an induction hob and extractor hood. A deep ceramic sink, integrated Montpellier dishwasher and upright built in freezer complete the suite.
Through an archway at the end of the kitchen is a perfect spot for an informal breakfast/dining area. A door leads to the cloakroom and a good-sized boot room/utility room, with larder cupboard, sink and plumbing for a washing machine. A side door leads directly out onto the driveway, making this a convenient informal entrance to the home.
The sitting room, with its timbered ceiling, features an efficient log-burning stove set upon a granite hearth creating a cosy focal point. This triple-aspect room enjoys an abundance of natural light, and bi-fold doors opening directly onto a gravelled terrace, seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living.

The First Floor
To the first floor are three double bedrooms and one single, each enjoying long views across the surrounding countryside. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious and benefits from a dual-aspect outlook and a well-appointed ensuite shower room with walk-in dual-headed shower, twin basins, a WC, and a heated towel rail.
A family shower room with triple glazed Velux window serves the remaining three bedrooms.
Adjacent to the principal bedroom is a characterful room with vaulted ceiling and exposed trusses. Currently arranged as a dressing room, it includes built-in storage, and could easily revert to being a double bedroom. There is a further dual-aspect double bedroom, while the fourth bedroom is presently used as a study, but could equally return to being a single bedroom. Next to this room is an additional versatile space, ideal as a reading nook, study area, or remain as additional guest accommodation.

The Annexe
The annexe is entirely self-contained and independent from the main house, offering flexible accommodation suitable for guests, multigenerational living, or potential income opportunities.
This light open plan studio space has ample room for comfortable seating and a kingsize double bed. The bright and airy shower room is fitted with a three-piece suite and attractive tiled flooring. The compact kitchenette is equipped with an induction hob, circular sink, built-in fridge, and its own hot water supply, providing everything needed for comfortable independent living.
