Ivy Cottage, Bromyard, HR7 4HB

Tucked away in the rural setting of Cricks Green, near Stoke Lacy, this is a home that immediately feels like an escape from the pace of modern life.

Surrounded by private farmland and rolling Herefordshire countryside, the setting offers peace, privacy and far-reaching views, while remaining conveniently placed for access to Bromyard, Hereford and the nearby village communities.

Stoke Lacy itself is well regarded for its countryside charm, while Bromyard provides everyday amenities, independent shops, cafés and schools, making the location ideal for those seeking rural living without isolation.

Approached with views across open fields, the property enjoys parking for two vehicles alongside a garage and carport with an EV car charger offering the convenience of charging at home.

The entrance is positioned to the side of the home, where the front door opens into a welcoming hallway that acts as the natural link between old and new, complete with useful under-stairs storage.

To the front of the property, the kitchen is both practical and beautifully appointed.

Generous in size, it features Marble worktops, a breakfast bar, pantry cupboard and glorious views across the surrounding countryside - making even the everyday moments feel special.

Adjacent sits the dining room, perfectly placed for entertaining or family meals, with patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden.

Further along the hallway, a useful utility room and WC add convenience, before the home transitions into the original cottage, dating back to 1836.

Here, the lounge offers warmth and character in abundance, with exposed beams, a feature fireplace and a cosy log burner creating the perfect place to unwind.

Beyond the lounge, a later extension provides a bright and inspiring home office.

Skylights and windows overlooking the fields flood the room with natural light, while a preserved section of the original black-and-white external wall offers a unique reminder of the home’s heritage.

Alongside its charm, the property has been thoughtfully enhanced for modern living. An air source heat pump provides efficient heating, complemented by partial underfloor heating for added comfort.

Solar panels have also been added to help improve energy efficiency. Upstairs, three generous double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for family and guests alike.

One bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, while the remaining two also include fitted wardrobes and share a spacious modern bathroom.

The bedroom located within the original cottage retains exposed beams, adding further charm and individuality.

The rear garden is a true highlight - thoughtfully designed for those who love to spend time outdoors.

Bursting with colour and interest, it features a sound-insulated fence, pond, hot tub, summer house, patio seating area and the gentle backdrop of a wall waterfall.

A raised decked terrace above the garage captures the surrounding views and serves as a perfect suntrap, while vegetable patches and greenhouses complete a garden that is as productive as it is beautiful.

This is more than a house - it is a lifestyle home, offering character, comfort and countryside living in a setting that’s hard to forget.
