7 bed detached house for sale

Titley, Herefordshire HR5

An elegant and characterful Grade II listed former vicarage, this property blends early Georgian and Victorian architecture, with original sash windows, fireplaces, and unique period features throughout. Its position offers views from every window—across to the church and hillside from the front, and over gardens and open fields from the rear.
The main house is arranged over three floors with the addition of a cellar. It offers six bedrooms, five of which are en-suite. An adjoining one-bedroom annexe—with separate entrance, kitchen, bathroom, and sitting room—adds flexibility.

Description

The landscaped mature gardens feature a stream, croquet lawn, pond with seating, a large terrace, walled courtyard, and traditional greenhouse.
Outbuildings include a light-filled room currently used as a gym, a wash/boot room, a large shed for mower storage, and a smaller outbuilding over the stream. Entrance gates open to parking for up to six vehicles, with direct access to the courtyard from the road.

Location

Nestled in the peaceful Herefordshire countryside, the village of Titley offers a quiet charm and a strong sense of community. It boasts a rich history, the welcoming Stagg Inn pub, a well-kept village hall with regular events and classes, the Titley Pool Nature Reserve, and St Peter’s Church.
Surrounded by hills and ancient springs, the village is well connected to walking routes, including the Mortimer Trail which links to the Offa’s Dyke Path. Scenic cycling routes are also plentiful. A vibrant network of local artists adds to the area’s appeal, with the Sidney Nolan Trust nearby, alongside galleries, potters, and a range of musical events.
Titley is equidistant (three miles) from the market towns of Kington and Presteigne, offering access to doctors, dentists, independent shops, and small supermarkets. The larger towns of Hay-on-Wye and Ludlow are around 35 minutes away by car, with Hereford approximately 40 minutes and Leominster 25 minutes.
