THE HOLLIES

Bodenham HR1 3JT

The rural village of Bodenham is some 7 miles distant from the Cathedral

City of Hereford and divided into two dis�nct halves, which lie roughly

half a mile apart. The Hollies lies in a conserva�on area and close to the

centre of what is known as ‘old’ Bodenham and is close to the charming

village church. Also within walking distance is a highly regarded primary

school, some wonderful nearby walks, as well as Bodenham lake which

is a nature reserve. There are facili�es within the main part of the

village in the form of a GP surgery, shop and post office, the Englands

Gate public house and restaurant, a village hall, a 9-hole golf course and

much more. More extensive facili�es are at the market town of

Leominster to the north and at the City of Hereford to the south.

The Hollies, originally called Cross Farm in the 17th century, is a lovely

period house which was once a gentleman’s residence. It has been

updated and greatly improved by the present owners and care has been

taken to retain much of the original character. It now offers three large

double bedrooms as well as fourth child’s room on the first floor with

two good recep�on rooms, a large and well fi5ed kitchen and separate

dining room on the ground floor, as well as a study. There is excellent

outside space with large gardens that surround the property, extensive

parking, an oak framed double car port and double garage as well as an

original dairy, which is currently used as a studio and gym, but has

permission to create a one bedroom self-contained annexe if required.

Approached from the village lane the property has its own driveway and

extensive parking to the side of the house, and access to the garages. A

pathway leads to the front door where there is a covered entrance

porch and a deligh7ul recep�on hall, with a staircase off to the first

floor. The hallway has oak flooring and a decora�ve archway and a door

leading through to the rear hall. There is a large snug, or second

recep�on room, with fireplace and fi5ed Clearview wood burner, oak

flooring, large windows to the front and recessed shelving. The si8ng
