A STUNNING farmhouse set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near Yatton, Ross-on-Wye, is on the market.

Lodge Farm sits in an idyllic location overlooking a pond, it comes with 4.17 acres including a pretty garden and garaging and the option to purchase more land.

Joint agent, Scott Kemsley, of Balfours, says: "This is an utterly charming property and location. Lodge Farm is accessed via its own drive, with a variety of mature native trees enhancing the approach. The farmhouse has recently been renovated and extended achieving a house filled with natural light and character."

The entrance hall leads off to each of the main reception rooms and to the kitchen breakfast room. The kitchen benefits from a four-oven Aga and newly fitted units - with french doors inviting meal times to spill out onto the terrace.

A traditional fireplace is to be found in the sitting room, together with glazing to two aspects, including french doors to the garden and surrounding countryside.

The dining room is on the opposite side of the hallway, beyond which is an enchanting third reception room with the original cast-iron range.

A rear lobby, with stairs to the first floor and basement, porch and a cloak room with shower complete ground floor accommodation.

There are four bedrooms on the first floor, some with original fire places and the master room with en-suite; a family bathroom services the other three rooms.

Scott Kemsley adds: "The real beauty of Lodge Farm is its tranquillity, combined with its accessibility.

"The hamlet of Yatton is just a mile away, while Ross-on-Wye and Ledbury are five and eight miles respectively with an abundance of individual shops and restaurants.

"The property also sits within easy catchment of state and public schools. Road, rail and airport links are all within sensible striking distance."

Balfours and Knight Frank are jointly marketing Lodge Farm with a guide price of £600,000, there is the option to purchase extra land and a courtyard of traditional buildings.
