We understand the original parts of the house date back to the 1700’s, it was then extended and refurbished in 2011 and had further improvements including a new kitchen in 2018. It will be of particular appeal to those seeking seclusion and wishing to make use of the excellent equestrian facilities, as there is virtually direct access onto a bridleway, providing many miles of good off-road hacking and dog walking though the beautiful surrounding rolling countryside.
Risbury is a typically attractive north Herefordshire village and there is a primary school in nearby Stoke prior, whilst Bodenham has a village shop and filling station. Despite its seemingly remote rural location, the property is just six miles from the wide range of shops and amenities that are provided by the popular market town of Leominster and the Cathedral City of Hereford is also within easy reach.
