Canon Bridge, Madley, Hereford, HR2 9JF.
Basking in sweeping rural views, a stunning new eco and energy efficient 4 double bedroom Dutch Barn Conversion offers heritage character with a sleek contemporary aesthetic for stylish modern country living, with extensive gardens and grounds extending down to River Wye frontage with fishing rights.
Offering the preeminent property within a highly exclusive enclave, the Dutch Barn is a truly exceptional family home.
With the utmost care and attention lavished throughout, it respectfully preserves its agricultural heritage in the very fabric and character of the building whilst creating an energy efficient and eco-friendly home for stylish modern living.
Light with a generosity of space throughout, the barn wears its eco credentials to combat climate change, solar panels and rainwater harvesting to its hydrogen ready Worcester boiler.
Basking in glorious uninterrupted views across open countryside, the grounds eventually drop more than 10m down the steep but stepped bank to the river.
The wide flat riverbank set beside a meandering Wye rightly famed for its fishing, offers a tranquil spot for casting a line or simply dozing in the afternoon sun.

With exposed brick wall and gorgeous exposed roof trusses drawing the eye upwards further drama is added by the oak and glass cantilevered staircase. The roof truss also neatly conceals connection for a home cinema projection system.
