Location & Description

Positioned some 5 miles south of the market & tourist town of Ross-on-Wye, Quabbs Farm occupies an idyllic rural location in a particularly serene and unspoilt part of south east Herefordshire.

The original dwelling on the site probably dates back some 200 years, and is of stone construction, but this has been extended and refurbished over the last 30 years to now comprise a comfortable main dwelling with adjacent self contained annexe. Positioned close by are several additional outbuildings which future owners may also wish to convert into further accommodation.

The paddocks and pastures surround the cluster of central buildings, and incorporate not only two lakes, but also superb original hedging and a number of truly magnificent mature oak trees which the current owner will want the intending purchaser to retain so long as they are viable. It is believed that most of these beautiful trees date back to the era when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne!

Views in virtually all directions are unspoilt, and despite the tranquillity of the location, the M50 motorway and A40 dual carriageway are both accessible within approx. 15 minutes drive.

True rural seclusion, as one finds here, is now becoming increasingly difficult to find. Quabbs Farm thus represents a wonderful opportunity for anyone looking for dark skies and atmospheric seclusion. In detail the property comprises:-

Outside

A gravel approach lane leads from the quiet country lane which winds gently through Kiln Green, this approach being interspersed with some fine mature trees in amongst the hedging. As one approaches the buildings, there is a wooden, picket style vehicular gate with gravelled parking area for multiple vehicles to the right hand side, and nearby, a gravel driveway leads right up to the front of the property with turning area and parking for further vehicles.

Positioned to the north of this area lies a Large Lawned bordered by various trees and shrubs, species including Variegated Holly, Acer, and three productive Apple Trees. At a slightly lower level, and flanking the west of the main dwelling is a Part Walled Garden with Attractive Covered Seating Area to its north extent with a small pond, filtration system and decorative, old style hand pump. Two small flower beds, one with a Mill Stone creates one of the corners of this area.

A stone path leads from the lounge door around to the east side of the property, whilst nearby is a Further Lawned Area with Beech hedge boundary to fields and lake beyond. Positioned against the rear wall of the property is a Boiler House approx. 10’6 x 5’.

To the south side of the property, accessed via further Beech hedging is a Sizeable Vegetable Plot, approx. 60’ x 16’, whilst nearby is an Aluminium Framed Greenhouse and Wooden Coldframe housing many Strawberry plants. Not far way is a Recently Planted Orchard with productive Apple, Cherry and other fruit trees. This field also has within it Two Wooden Field Shelters and a Steel Framed Polytunnel for Horticultural Crops.

The accompanying plan shows the disposition of the additional paddocks which encircle the buildings, and the beautiful, aforementioned mature oak and other trees are scattered throughout these paddocks.

The nature and layout of the land lends itself to a very wide variety of future uses, one of those uses being for Equestrian Purposes. The land would lend itself extremely well to such use, although there has been no recent equestrian usage by the current owner, having instead been used for the grazing of sheep, with occasional hay crops being taken.

Covenant/Tree Preservation Order The current owner has lived in and loved Quabbs Farm for in excess of 30 years. The many outstanding Mature Deciduous Trees, and their associated wildlife have been one of the many factors which have cemented his love of the property.

It is his wish that a covenant be entered into by the purchaser, whereby these trees are allowed to continue their growth. Alternatively, TPOs could be placed on the trees.
