The barn revels in an idyllic rural position with sweeping views across open countryside and up to the summit of Garway Hill. It is set within a thriving community focused on nearby Orcop Parish Hall. It is only 5 miles to local shop/post office at either Wormelow, St Weonards or of note for its numerous amenities, to picturesque Ewyas Harold, set in the beautiful Golden Valley and providing post office/shop, Ofsted Good primary school, 2 butchers, dentist, GP, 2 pubs and vibrant community hall with active football and cricket teams. The full City amenities of Hereford, the market town of Ross-On-Wye with its M50 junction and the excellent independent schools of affluent Monmouth are all an equidistant 10 miles while the famed book town of Hay-On-Wye with its international Literary Festival is 22 miles.
