The Garden Barn is a beautifully restored retreat located in Peterchurch, Herefordshire, within the Heart of England region. This accommodation, which can sleep up to eight guests, is situated in the grounds of the historic Grade I listed Wellbrook Manor, dating back to 1374. The property has been thoughtfully renovated to provide a comfortable and tasteful setting, making it ideal for families or groups seeking a relaxing getaway.
The Barn features a convenient layout, with much of the living space on the ground floor. Upon entering, guests are welcomed by a hallway/boot room, leading to two of the four bedrooms located in the original stable area. To the left, an open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area awaits, complete with a dining table that accommodates eight. The cozy sitting area is centered around a wood-burning stove, and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor adds an extra layer of comfort, ensuring a warm atmosphere in all seasons.
On the upper level, an oak staircase leads to a galleried landing featuring a glazed floor box and exposed beams. Bedroom two offers a 4'6 double bed and access to a family shower room on the ground floor. The master bedroom, located at the top of the stairs, boasts a king-size bed and an en-suite shower room, both showcasing the property’s character through its exposed timbers.
Outside, guests can explore the charming grounds, which include a maze and an enclosed lavender garden, perfect for enjoying the fragrant blooms while watching the sunset. The Garden Barn's location on the outskirts of the Brecon Beacons National Park and near the Wye Valley makes it an excellent base for outdoor activities, including walking and exploring the stunning Herefordshire countryside.
Conveniently, the market towns of Hay-on-Wye, Leominster, Hereford, and Ross-on-Wye are all within a short drive, offering additional opportunities for shopping, dining, and cultural experiences. With its combination of historical charm, modern amenities, and a picturesque setting, The Garden Barn is an inviting retreat for those looking to unwind and explore the natural beauty of the region.
