Convenient village-edge setting close to Hereford
A rare opportunity to create an impressive family home and small country estate
Situation and Description
Webton Court occupies an unusually convenient position on the edge of the popular Herefordshire village of Kingstone, combining the space and atmosphere of a small country estate with everyday facilities close at hand.
Kingstone lies approximately seven miles south-west of Hereford, at the beginning of the Golden Valley. The village has a useful range of facilities including a shop and post office, doctors’ surgery, church, public house, primary school and Kingstone High School, together with bus services into Hereford.
The Cathedral City of Hereford provides a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities together with a mainline railway station offering services towards Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff and London. The property is also well placed for the historic market towns and border country surrounding Hay-on-Wye, Abergavenny, Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth.
Road connections are good for a rural Herefordshire location. The A49 provides the principal north/south route through the county, while the M50 at Ross-on-Wye connects with the M5 and the wider motorway network. To the south, routes through Abergavenny provide access towards the A40, A449, M4 and South Wales.
It is this combination that makes Webton Court particularly interesting. It feels distinctly rural, with its own land, woodland, wetland and lake, yet it is neither isolated nor hidden at the end of miles of country lanes.
The Property
Webton Court is a substantial Grade II Listed residence offering an increasingly rare opportunity to take on a house of genuine scale and character and make it one's own.
The accommodation is extensive and now requires refurbishment, but therein lies much of its appeal. This is a house with the proportions, flexibility and setting to become a very special family home.
The principal accommodation includes three reception rooms, a large kitchen with oil-fired Aga and an excellent collection of traditional domestic and service rooms. Features such as the mosaic tiled entrance hall, bay window, boarded floors, original dairy/pantry with meat hooks and secondary staircase provide glimpses of the history and character that remain within the house.
Seven bedrooms and bathrooms occupy the first floor, while the second floor provides two further attic bedrooms together with additional attic and storage space. There is also cellarage.
Outside, a separate self-contained granny flat/chalet creates useful additional accommodation and could suit extended family, guests, home working or other ancillary uses, subject to any necessary consents.
The setting is a particularly important part of Webton Court. Mature gardens surround the house, while the land includes pasture and paddocks, mature deciduous woodland, wetland and a conifer shelter belt. To the far side of the grounds is an attractive brook-fed lake. Together, the woodland, wetland and water provide a particularly appealing environment for wildlife and conservation.
In all, Webton Court extends to approximately 7 acres, tbv, creating a wonderfully private country environment despite its position on the edge of the village.
For someone prepared to undertake the work, this is an opportunity to restore not simply a large period house, but an entire small country estate.
