The Coach House is situated within the grounds of Homme House. The property is approached via a private sweeping driveway and the setting is very peaceful. This location offers an ideal combination of rural life with local amenities (village shop, primary school and public houses) on offer approximately 1 mile south of Much Marcle. Approximately 4 miles away lies the beautiful market town of Ledbury. Ledbury is steeped in history and is home to the renowned poetry festival. The town offers an abundance of facilities including primary and secondary schooling, cottage hospital, market theatre, church, leisure facilities, supermarkets and has excellent rail links to London Paddington and Birmingham New Street. There are a wealth of public and preparatory schools in the area. Malvern St James and Malvern College are approximately 14 ½ miles distant whilst The Downs and The Elms, both in Colwall are approximately 9 ½ miles distant. There is also easy access to the motorway network via junction 2 of the M50, just four miles south of Ledbury. The cathedral cities of Hereford (13 miles), Worcester (22 miles) and Gloucester (16 miles) and the town of Cheltenham (25 miles) are all within easy commuting distance.
This attractive country home is understood to date back to approximately 1767, being the former Coach House to the historic Homme Estate house, and offers substantial family living accommodation. The accommodation is set out over three floors and has a wealth of period features - from the leaded eyebrow shaped windows and the beautiful rich red brick faade interspersed with stone, to the exposed beams and the pine latch doors to the interior, all of which add to the property's character, warmth and charm. The entrance hall has tiled flooring which runs throughout the ground floor creating that wonderful sense of flow. The kitchen, fitted out in a period style, has an array of free standing solid beech work tops and units which are complemented by shelving to one wall. There is a stainless steel dishwasher, a stainless steel six-ring range cooker with canopy extractor and space for a fridge freezer. The kitchen also benefits from having a walk-in pantry. The adjoining living / dining room has a magnificent inglenook fireplace beneath which is housed a wood burning stove. There is ample space for a table and chairs and a seating area. Within this room lies two circular leaded windows which overlook the courtyard. The separate utility / boot room has a white butler sink, space for a washing machine and tumble dryer and broom cupboard and a stable door leads to the courtyard. The spacious office / study is light and bright and could lend itself to a number of uses and the separate cloakroom, at the entrance, completes the ground floor. From the entrance hall, stairs rise to the first floor. The light and airy living room has deep skirting, exposed beams to the ceiling and a substantial open fire with oak fire surround and a stunning decorative cast iron inset. Book shelving lies across the length of one of the walls. The family bathroom has a roll top bath with claw feet and sun shower head over. The master bedroom is situated at one end of the first floor landing, is beautifully light and bright and has an en-suite bathroom with free standing roll top bath and shower over. Also on this floor are two large separate walk-in storage rooms which are shelved. Stairs rise again to the second floor, where there are three large double bedrooms, two of which have decorative cast iron inset fireplaces.
The Coach House has a courtyard garden to the rear and a further garden to the front. The courtyard garden is a fantastic entertaining space, a space where you can really relax and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the surroundings. A stone built wall surrounds its perimeter and part of the wall is bedecked in a mixture of ivy, grape vines, honeysuckle and there is a Jasmine clad trellis. To the centre of the courtyard a stone well resides, which has been topped by a solid wood table top, which is a wonderful feature. To one corner, and tucked away, lies a log store. To the front of the property, the garden is screened to both sides by beech hedging. To one side, mature shrubs and trees are dotted here and there and to the other side, there is a lawned area. The brick pavioured driveway, which has wrought iron gates to the entrance, has ample parking space and to one corner, steps lead up to the brick-built storage building which houses the oil tank and boiler, and is ideal for the storage of garden equipment.
